Gosh, I really have been absent from the blogosphere for awhile&#8230; I have to apologize for that, but I&#8217;ve had a pretty busy couple of months.\u00a0 A previous WordPress update pretty much left my entire blog in pieces and I didn&#8217;t really have time to try and alter and fix it until now.\u00a0 A few months later after the crash I finally have some time to actually do that. Now this is a previous layout that I&#8217;ve created which I&#8217;ve used before, but it seems pretty simple and easy to work with.\u00a0 I think I&#8217;ll keep this style of blog for now, but I definitely have to fix the background and such.\u00a0 Until then this layout seems pretty good. \ud83d\ude42 I hope that all of you are doing well.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve gone through a lot in the past few months (some events bad, but mostly good) and I am a stronger person for it.\u00a0 Maybe I&#8217;ll go into detail about it later, but for now, just know that I am enjoying my time now with some new people and that I am just about 6 days until graduation. I&#8217;m quite excited to say the least about my upcoming graduation.\u00a0 Graduation here in the Philippines is long and there is a particular veterinary ceremony in the morning and then another university-wide one in the afternoon.\u00a0 My father will be flying in from NYC to see the graduation. I have the pleasure of graduating from the University of the Philippines at Los Banos&#8217; College of Veterinary Medicine.\u00a0 Through the four years I&#8217;ve been a student at UPLB I suffered some hardship with classes, relationships, and other things, but I think I&#8217;ve grown a lot.\u00a0 Being here has been a blessing of some sort, and honestly it will be hard for me to leave here. After graduating, I plan to finally move back to NYC and start my board exam studying.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll be taking the AVMA approved method of applying for a veterinary license which consists of a written and practical examination, so wish me luck. All in all, I just want to say that I am happy with things now and will be even happier when I finally get to throw my mortarboard up in the air.\u00a0 With the DVM degree in my hands I can finally start on living my dream. I&#8217;ll update you all in the coming days, but probably after Saturday which is my grad day.
