Leaving Lincoln

There is one thing eating at the back of my mind this summer and that is the fact unless something catastrophic happens this is my last full summer in Lincoln. Next summer I'm moving to Ames, Iowa to continue my veterinary education. There are so many things I have to take care of before moving, from finding suitable housing that will accommodate my zoo to figuring out how I'm going to handle my medical care. I'm so comfortable where I'm at now that even the thought of moving makes the hair on the back of my neck stand at full attention.

Last night I scoured Iowa State's website to find out about their recreation center (they have a 5.5 lap/mile indoor track!), and their student health center. I looked at Ames' city website and found out they have 22 miles of trails in the city, and that I have to have my bike licenced if I want to take it on campus. I'm taking my sister's advice, I'm learning about my future home by surfing the net.

Oh do I know how you're feeling! In February my family and I relocated from Oklahoma to Hawaii and I'm still trying to sort things out. I'm hoping this week to get my medical records and things switched over here finally. Believe me, I'm still freaking out internally with lack of familiarity lol.

You have the right idea learning everything out about Ames. And I can just say how cool is that there are 22 miles of trails in the city?? Have you told Edison that he's going to be an Iowan? :)
