back to the grind

So I started back to school two weeks ago. I'm enrolled in the veterinary technician program at a local college. It's a two year program and I just started. I am starting to wonder what I was thinking. Me, at 40, going back to school! Fortunately I am not the oldest person in the program or else I would feel really rotten. I don't know how the other woman feels. Hopefully she has thick skin. Anyway, I am trying to study around doing housework and visiting periodically with my kids to make sure they aren't smoking crack or something like that. So far I'm keeping up, but I start back to work on Wednesday, just part time, and I don't feel like I have any time right now, so when I'm going to study while working I just don't know. It's a good thing I like coffee.

I really love animals, (as you can tell if you have read prior posts) and I am looking forward to being able to work with them. I think it will be fun and rewarding. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is dealing with the clients. I mean, most people are nice and easy to deal with, but then you get the Clients From Hell every once in a while. The ones who don't want to put any money into their animals and think the vet should work for free. The ones who don't want to put any time into their animals and think the vet should do everything. And then the ones who are just all around jerks and nothing you do is right or good. I'm really afraid that I'll just haul off and punch one of them. Be afraid pet owning public: you never know where I'll end up.
