Veterinary Technician?
Monday, September 1, 2008, 10:57 PM

So lately I've been contemplating on the fact that I feel like I need to do something with my life...like go back to school. It's a really hard decision trying to figure out what you wanna do for the rest of your life, but honestly what else do I love besides animals? Being a part of a typical Filipino family, I get the whole, "Why do you work with dogs? Why don't you become a nurse? A doctor? A medical biller? yaddayaddayadda..." then I stop and think back to what I wanted to do since the beginning. Sure, I'll be a nurse. A nurse for animals, that is. It pisses me off so bad whenever they say those things to me. And you know what my answer is every time they ask me those questions? I tell them, "I don't like people." and they shut up :)

So I'm thinking about registering at the PVAS (Profession Veterinary Assistant School) in Garden Grove. I give credit to Vicky for telling me about the school back at the beginning of this year (and for filling me in with all the basic information I need to know). The school consists of 3 different programs that I can take (in order) which is Vet Attendant, Vet Assistant, and the alternative Vet Technician program. I hate general education classes. I never went to a community college for it because I don't believe in that crap. I'd rather go to a private school that solely focuses on ONE thing, not geometry or English. When am I ever going to concentrate on how shapes are formed? And I already know my English. Sure, private schools cost a lot of money, but nothing's for free. Tuition doesn't cost over $20,000 like Concorde or American Career College do. I just need to apply for a loan to help me get through. At least this school can guide me by finding a good job later on while I attend my classes. And at the same time I'm learning and gaining more experience. It'll take a few years, but what career path doesn't? Sure, I won't be making as much money as LVNs or RNs do, but I'll be doing what I love and that's most important to me.

I'm determined! I'm a hard working student. I actually like studying. Ha. I did get an A in my phlebotomy class; I just never went through with it because my passion was and always will be with animals.

Well on a lighter note, I'm still sad that this weekend had to end. I can't get over how good our little vacation in San Diego was. I miss it so bad! I wanna go back already! GAHH. And Wicked. We are going to see Wicked, damnit. No one is going to stop me. I've been dying to see that musical forever, and our plans just never worked through. So definitely this month or next month we're definitely gonna go see it (right TN?!) and we're dragging the boys along.

My top right wisdom tooth is KILLING me. It was supposed to be extracted 6 months ago, but I just let the thing continue to grow and give me migraines. God. I swear this week it just grew double its size, and the pain is just unbearable now. I'm ready to get it yanked out. Please God.

Well, I'm doing my overnight. Gotta catch up on some rest before I wake up at 4:30am. Peace guys.






Hello, my name is Calee. I may have the same interests as many others, but I'm really different. I don't judge by looks or status. I get along with everybody, but I prefer to just associate with those who are open-minded and can really understand who I am and where I came from. I have a good life living with my boyfriend Mark. He's the best boyfriend ever; he's intelligent, focused, and he takes the best care of me. One thing that everyone knows about me is that I LOVE DOGS. I don't party much or get drunk whatsoever, but that doesn't stop me from having fun. I love food (who doesn't?), and I love sight-seeing, shopping, watching movies, singing, going to amusement parks, or watching shows. These blogs should give you a hint of what life's like: BUSY! Work, school, dogs, Mark, and all that good junk.
