I think I have been spending way too much time working this semester.  I know that I should try to work a whole bunch this summer before my senior year since I won’t be able to work very much on account of my internship.  I really needed the money this year and I really love the place I work.  I mean what kind person would turn their nose up at the chance to work with animals all day.  Working at a veterinarian’s office is definitely the best job I have ever had for a bunch of reasons.  First of all, I get a discount on animals so now I have myself a great collection of lizards and I am thinking of upgrading to a dog.  I haven’t had much time though this year to actually get out and have fun, or at least relax alone without the animals.  I just feel such a love for the animals in the shop that I can’t keep myself away for too long.  Sometimes I even call to make sure they get all their pet meds in on a shipment so if they need me to drive to another store I can pay for more expensive pet meds.  I wonder if some people might call me a little over dedicated? I mean I just have a huge love of animals and I can’t help but help.  Without me most of the other employee wouldn’t even know what pet meds to ever get or let alone administer to who.  I have worked there for three years now and the only person who has been there longer is the owner.  I am not officially the owner, but I basically run the place since the owner doesn’t have enough time to come in every day with his own college schedule.  He is a masters student in animal biology, imagine that.  I think that this summer I am still going to work just as much but i will have to take some time to myself, away from the animals.  No more coming in to the shop for a whole day when I am not even working.  I love the animals but I know that I can’t help them one bit if I can’t even stand from exhaustion.  I hope I can stick to that because I feel the urge coming on right now to just go on down to the shop.
