And I realized that I really like Athens and the surrounding agricultural towns. Madison. Bishop. Watkinsville. On the way back to Orlando, I passed just-harvested cotton fields, chillin' dairy cows, quiet chicken houses, massive timber forests, grazing horses, and all other manner of heartbreakingly beautiful farmland colored by the rising sun.
(So I cheated... I took those back in October when I went on a short personal road trip toward Madison; I didn't take them today.)
The kid who gave me a tour of the vet school did a really great job. Even though his... "concentration" was exotics, he was very knowledgeable about the large animal and small animal concentrations, as well. I think I'll send him a thank-you note along with the one I was planning to send to the admissions advisor.
On top of all that, I got to pretend to be a vet student for a day, thanks to Alyssa (consider this your thank-you note)! I sat in on virology (? I'm pretty sure I heard Alyssa ask, 'What class is this?' when it started. It seemed like physiology, though...) before the tour, then rassled some normal Earth goats and some monster alien sheeps in anatomy lab. I wish I'd gotten pictures of those sheeps. Their heads come up to your chest. A normal sheep might be able to nose your hip with some dificulty. But these sheeps were just... enormous freaks.
Traffic was GREAT today. No kidding. That's all I have to say about that.
Still no news from ISU in the mailbox... but I did get an application for a $7500 low-interest student loan that is not associated with the government! I need to fill that out before May 1st. And do my taxes, my FAFSA, look up/apply to other possible loans and scholarships, etc. I'm going to start those things now.
