I FORGOT ABOUT THIS BLOG

I havent used tumblr in so long I totally forgot I had this blog and I miss it :(

this is crazy but....I’m almost done tech school. 7 more exams to go and im done! I honestly cant believe it. After school I have a one month internship, and then I start applying for a real job! How crazy is that.

I write my VTNE in November so hopefully in 4 months time...I’m a full fledged RVT :O

I recently decided I want to pursue my accreditation in rehab, so my plans are to work and then pursue my CCRP certification, and eventually get my LTS status as a rehab specialist!
