Well, I did not get an interview for Calgary. I'm just going to go ahead and assume I won't get one for Saskatoon either. Yes, I cried. However, I cry a lot. Haha, no, I don't really know how to explain how I feel. Rejection sucks no matter how it's packaged. But I'm almost in a good mood right now. There are so many opportunities when I'm not tied to vet school. I think the biggest thing is that I hate sciences and I hate U of A. So thinking about the fact that I will not be going to school in September is kind of nice.
Cons to not going to vet school this year: I will not be a vet by 2016. *Ramifications include potentially delaying how long I have to wait until I have kids, this is stressful. Also, delays when I start my career, aka making any significant amount of money, which also sucks.
Pros to not going to vet school this year: Freedom!I can move with my fiance if he gets into engineering somewhere. I don't have to force myself to be someone I am not (aka what I am doing right now trying to get through this degree). I can relax for a while. I can work and pay for my wedding. I could become a realtor. I could become a zookeeper. I could settle for the year and focus on saving money and thinking about what I want from a career. I don't have to spend every second of my free time volunteering.
As everyone is telling me. I will be OK. I know that, but it is difficult to be motivated right after you are told "NO". How can two more months of a degree be so torturous? It's like life is testing me one last time, "are you SURE you want this?" For a bachelor's degree that everyone says is useless, I'm sure jumping through a lot of hoops.
I wish this post was a little more dramatic for you (M), but I just don't feel it. Sorry folks. I actually feel pretty good.

P.S. I probably won't be writing a lot for a while. If there are any prevetters that would like to ask questions or commiserate about how much they hate UofA - you know where to find me. ; )
