how in the heck to i break into the world of veterinary technology when i have minimal experience in small animal and large animal hospitals???????? i don't feel confident enough because i haven't, as most students, worked regularly at an animal hospital...but i really really really need get moving on this or i feel another 2 years will slip away. i am planning on taking the "big exam" to get a license and become certified but the test is in January 2006.
any suggestions?

i know that i'm slipping back into depression because i'm so unhappy where i'm presently employed. i know i don't belong there. and i'm beginning to feel stuck again despite all i've managed to do since last fall.

i'll never forget something my mom said during a call while i was in the middle of my large animal practicum... she said that it was the first time in a long time that i sounded happy. she was right. i was no star but i felt full of potential, surrounded by enthusiastic people that were encouraging and supportive. i know i goofed on lots of stuff, but i know it's stuff that i can eventually master. i miss the horses. i miss the smell of horses. and the mooing cows and bahs of little pigmy goats. it's awful going back to work in a place that doesn't care about me.

really sucks.

hi Salamander,
the entry "sometimes down is up" was written with the intention of submitting it to UPN's "This I believe" but i think it's a little too personal. if you really want to read it let me know and i'll post it.
