K-state

So, I don't know why anyone would check this blog, as it is updated so infrequently, but I thought I had better not leave anyone hanging as to how the vet school stuff worked out. So, I drove out to Kansas with a car my parents purchased for me (which is at this moment sitting in a mechanic's driveway waiting to have a leak in the steering fluid line repaired). My mother and aunt Joy also came out with me in my parent's truck so that they could haul my freezer (packed with meat), and my bed and dresser out. Between Cleveland and Columbus the truck got a flat while we were driving through rain so heavy that I could hardly see tail lights. So we soaked ourselves changing the tire only to find that the 4-ways had run the battery down so we had to call a service man out for a jump. We stayed with my cousin Matt and his wife Jesse on the way down and were able to get to Manhattan with no further trouble.
I have now been here since August 15th. I haven't talked to my roommates much, but I think it's better that way for studying purposes (one's a third year and the other's a nursing student). I've made a friend or two at school. Sarah Heath is a real blessing. I think that God has been very gracious to me with the provision of good Christian friends. I also have a great lab group. It helps that we're all fairly smart so that we can bounce information off one another to get a better understanding of the material. So far I can't complain about my grades and it's hard to commiserate with those that are struggling because I find that I have plenty of time to waste without a real hindrance to my scores, though I'm sure this will change by next year if not by next semester, or even possibly the end of the semester. I also have a challenge trying to remain humble, but I keep trying to remind myself that I would be nowhere without God's help, and I know that I am doing so well because God has a purpose for me and obviously vet school is a part in his plans. So, that's my update; hope you're satisfied.
