Some people dream of worthy accomplishments while others stay awake and do them

About Me

I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up, so thats what I'm studying to be. I love animals, yet I'm realistic. I'm currently attending veterinary school in Ames, IA. I hope to go into small and exotic animal medicine. I've worked for a small animal vet back home for over four years now.I would describe myself as loyal, trusting and driven to succeed. I know what I want out of life and I'm on my way to achieving it. I would do anything for a friend. I am a person of my word - when I say I'm going to do something, you can count that I'm going to follow through. My biggest pet peeve is when a person doesn't call when they say they would or makes plans with me and then backs out last minute. This is why I miss my friends back home.I can be shy around new people but once you get to know me you won't be able to get me to shut up. :) Read my surveys for more info. Anything else you want to know just ask.

My Interests

I love animals (its like I have a small zoo at home) and I love anything having to do with the Simpsons. I like to go for trail walks, especially if I can bring my dogs with me. I like going to movies and hanging out with friends but there are times when I'd just rather cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie.

I'd like to meet:

Old friends and fun new ones. I'm new to Ames, so I would like to meet people and get out more.

Music:


Movies:

I'll never get tired of this video - very funny!

Television:

The Simpsons, Family Guy, Grey's Anatomy and LOST.
