I'm here Thanks for asking!

So much has happened since March; it's just been absolutely insane...

- I graduated from high school (finally... LOL)
- I chose UC Berkeley and will be moving in this Saturday. Go Bears! I was a little upset that I did not get into my first choice (Cornell University), but, admittedly, it was my "reach" school and I'll have a second chance (vet school). So, I'm very happy with UC Berkeley.
- I've been juggling a lot of dog behavior stuff: working with a lot of 'problem' dogs, working more with Ivy (she makes so proud), got a mentor a la an extremely well-renowned veterinary behaviorist/author/speaker/ethology professor, planning to attend the APDT conference this October, etc.
...I'm basically doing everything I can to make myself one of the best potential veterinary behaviorists I can. I can't believe it took me so long to find this field, but I'm passionately in love with it. I love it, love, love, love, love it. And it comes so naturally. My plan is to attend either UC Davis, Cornell, or UPenn after Berkeley and then get my board certification. So, check back on me in 10 years and, hopefully, I'll have some letters before and after my name
- I went to Thailand in July for about three weeks. Of the main highlights, we visited the Chiang Mai Elephant Nature Park = amazing. One of the most enlightening moments of my life. Will write more/post pics about it maybe later.

In less exciting, a bit more negative news...
- My budgies passed away. I only have the three dogs now. The house is a little less chaotic, heh.
- I crashed my car. I'm now car-less until the shop returns it, so I'm rediscovering the joys of public transportation.

So, there you go! I'm here! Bombard me with news! =)
