Fin

I'm done with school. Applied to vet school, took general and bio GREs, assembled a thesis and presented it to the professors of Warnell, slugged through the last finals of my undergraduate career, graduated Magna Cum and I'm done. Now I'm sitting in my room with a parrot lying in my lap listening to the oh-so golden Tron: Legacy soundtrack. The feeling of no academic obligations? Heavenly. Heavenly. I head back to Augusta tomorrow; I'm hoping to get my job at the animal hospital back C:

I'm going to miss Chris. Badly. I'm trying not to think about it too much. If/when I return to Athens, we'll begin the next chapter; until then, I have to work on getting better and making some $$. Weekly commutes between Athens and Augusta is it, then!

In no particular order, photos of my last undergraduate semester.

Dad brought me breakfast in bed over Thanksgiving break; I got key lime yogurt with chia seeds, which he tells me allowed Aztecs to run for hundreds of miles at a time...I call bullshit. The seeds were pretty though.
