Here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again . . .

So in case you all hadn't noticed, I'm a bit impulsive.
I also like to travel.

Mix the two together and, well, I guess it adds up to a hectic schedule and a small bank account.
Good thing I'm going to be a vet with oodles of money (I'm joking there people. I'll make peanuts in the future.)

So I bet you're sitting on the edge of your seat now going, "What's that crazy girl up to now?"

Well, In a little less than seven hours . . .

. . . I'm taking off for New York City.



OK people. You can close your mouths again and stop saying "WHAT?! DIDN'T SHE JUST GET BACK FROM PEI?"

Well, yes, I did. But PEI didn't have my beloved, scruffy-round-the-edges, formerly-mulletted fiance there and so I'm off again! I just sort of had this epiphany yesterday morning as I was walking to school that, 'hey, if I don't see Gabe now, I won't be able to see him until July. That's SIX MONTHS FROM NOW! and I only got to see him for four weeks last year! WHAT GIVES?!'

So I got to school, started frantically looking for a cheap flight and a few hours later, it was done. All the other girls in my class seem to be gung-ho about me going. I guess it's like one of us is finally getting the chance to get out of this hell-hole we call vet school. "Go Vivian! NEW YORK! And you get to see GABE! OMG! WHY ARE YOU DELIBERATING?!"

They all squealed excitedly and I think I made their day. We don't get out much.

Anyways, I'll be sleeping overnight at the T.O. airport (I get in at midnight and my connecting flight takes off at 6:30am) so I'm going to be a bit sleep deprived and strange when I get down to the big apple (but that's not different from normal) but at least I'll get to see Gabe.

And yes, you can all go throw up now and wonder to yourselves whatever happened to that ice princess you all used to know.

Well, she's not entirely gone. I'm not going just for Gabe. I'm applying for an externship down in NYC next year and I'd like to scope out the vet hospital a bit before I committ (see? the committment phobe within is alive and well still). I heard it's nine stories tall and the biggest one in the WORLD. And hey, I'm not gonna lie to ya (but don't tell Gabe!) I'm also going for the museums, shopping, food and arts.

So yes, the ice princess is still here and armed with a bit more insanity. I guess I've always been this impulsive but vet school's whittled away the remaining sanity I have so now, not only do I still get these strange impulses, I act on them.

So toodles everyone! Wish me luck!
