I will be gone for almost three months and will be working in a small animal clinic. Sure it will be just like working in one of the clinics down the road, BUT it's in Australia! It's an internship of a lifetime and who knows when I'll ever get the chance to go again.

Internship of a Lifetime
I am enrolled as a veterinary technology student at my current college and one of the requirements for this major is to complete an internship. Since this field of working with animals is not new to me I have already had the experience of working in small animal clinics. You would think that seeking out a clinic to do an internship would be easy because all I would have to do is drive up and down the main road through town and find about a dozen clinics on either side of the road to apply at. I never seem to like easy or easy never seems to like me so I decided to look for something further away. Real far, as in Australia far. I started "googling" internships abroad and found several programs, but only one of them had actual veterinary internships. This program seemed very competitive because all they kept telling me was "make sure that you turn your application and other materials in early". So of course I turned everything in early and was accepted into the program. So off to Sydney, Australia I go!
