Climbed the iceberg!

I was playing on the big inflatables in the lake today and they have a big climbing iceberg. (I put a pictureof the exact model!)

All the little short girls got up, but I tried and it was hard so I gave up. But because this group of people is so encouraging that it would make ResLife people proud, one of the guys coached me and 3 other girls up it! Then I slid down which was even scarier, but it rocked and I was so proud!

Way to go VET!

Love it!

Quick updates!

I am a goof who got goose bumps when they showed the class of '14 at VET

I also got freakin pumped that I am in vet school!

We had a former Miss America/ Mizzou DVM grad who spoke to us and was so incredible!

I, Breanna Erwin, threw a frisbee around with a group of people. It was dark and they lit up and I wasn't good but it didn't matter and I had fun.

Pushing my limits on the first day already and meeting a ton of purple? Winning.


Ps. Our team name is
The Muzzlers: Shut yo mouth!

Update

Just reread the schedule....
On Tuesday night.....we karaoke.......

I will keep you updated but so far there is no mention of alcohol, so we'll see how the karaoke goes!

My life is just packing and unpacking!

So far so good on the vet school front...
I mean I haven't done anything vet school related, or had a class, or even met a significant amount of my class, but still!

Got myself all moved in and my room looks pretty sweet if I do say so myself, and I do :-)  Addie as settled in just fine although she only takes short adventures downstairs when Dynia the dog is nowhere in sight. I am, almost,  completely unpacked which is great because today my roommate M and I go to VET. That's the big get to know each other partay at the Lake of the Ozarks! 120...no wait, one person isn't coming so 119 people....a high and low ropes course, ice breakers, speed networking at the very least we will know our classmates well by the end of it :-)

Well off to check my packing skills for the third time, fit it all in my backpack but I feel like I may have forgotten something. I hope I am not the lowest maintainance person there. Watch, everyone else brought full carry one or something.

I'll blog from my phone if I get a chance!
See ya!

So pretty much packing is my life!

Pretty much since my parents decided where/when we were going for our vacation (Florida! and on Sunday!) Mike and I have been dealing wth the logistics of my vacation/ moving me out of the apartment/ moving my cat/ moving all his stuff to his new apartment. Sound like fun? But wait! There's more!

The Saturday before I leave for Florida is our friend's wedding! Which means Mike's brother and our other friend are staying in our apartment....which is a bit of a cluster right now...

But wonder of all wonders I think it's working out! I have most of my stuff packed (I didn't bring all that much thank goodness), We have started packing/cleaning/purging the useless crap in the apartment and my wonderful parents decided I could fly to KC and then fly back here thus avoiding the 9 hr drive the day after the wedding followed by a 15 hr drive. Fantastic!

So it was my last day at Agri-Pet on Thursday which was so sad just because I love everyone there and they have been a HUGE part of my undergrad experience. Figure since the Fall of my 2nd year I have been working at least 12 hrs a week but usually a lot more. It was so weird trying to thank people and say goodbye. How do you thank people enough for giving you the experience you needed to get into vet school? For teaching a million things you didn't know how to do? Just to name a few things:
-Give pills to a cat
-Draw blood (okay still not great at it but I've done it!)
- Clean surgery packs
-Assist with surgery
- Get a puppy breathing after a c-section
- Trim nails
- Give fluids

And tons of other things that are now second nature. AND I got paid too? Really how does one get that lucky? Luckily I will be coming back to visit Mike and can stop by to visit!

Everything is coming up daisies ( I prefer them to roses :-)

Tonight the boys get here and we have chicken enchiladas from a fantastic recipe my former boss gave me!
Then tomorrow night a wedding between two people who are wonderful and seeing all of our friends at the big reception!
Getting up super early Sunday morning to drive to the airport for my super short flight to KC then getting started on the drive to FLORIDA!!!
A week on the beach/in the pool chilling with the family :-)
Two days packing my room in my parents house/playing with the dogs
Short flight back on Tuesday.
Help Mike get his new apartment set up
Put my stuff in my car on Friday (or Thurs, not sure yet) and drive with miss Addison to KC!
Go move my stuff in and get unpacked on Sat!
Spend a week at home running errands
Go back to my house in Columbia to live for the year then go to the Ozarks for our VET (it's a vet student retreat in the Ozarks!)

Bring it on :-)
