Classes have been approved!

Hey people of the world, Bri back with more news of my up coming adventure to Ireland. I hope to be adding new information once a week or once every two weeks until I actually head off. Once in Ireland I plan on updating near daily, with pictures and captions of my semester abroad. But while here, I wish to keep you updated with what I'm doing, how I'm going about the process of my trip, and all other relevant information.

After deciding where I wanted to go (Ireland, duh) my next step was to pre-approve classes for my semester in Ireland. Being a zoologist I had to head to the biology office and talk up the people there to check over the spring syllabus for U of L. Here are the classes that were approved:

Electives:

EV4004 Eq. Repro. and Mgt. of Mares and Stallions

EV4008 Eq. Genetics

EV4012 Eq. Anat. And Phys.

EV4014 Eq. Nutrition

EV4018 Eq. Health and Behav.

EV4022 Eq. Anat. And Phys. (Cert)

BY4018 Plant & Anim. Phys.

EQ4004 Eq. Mgt.

NS4202  Biol. Sci. 2, Anat., Phys. And Embr. will count for credit in BIOL 353.

Yeah a lot of classes right? That is a good thing! My abroad adviser stated how I need to have lots of extra classes, just in case several are filled up by Irish students, I have tons of back ups. Now I only plan of taking four classes. The highlighted ones are the ones I want to take (not including the extra Irish folklore class I want to take just for shits and giggles). So I have lots of back ups! Exciting right?

Now I have a meeting on Tuesday with my abroad adviser, to answer other questions and such. I'll be back then with questions and answers about my trip!

Slán, labhairt leat go luath.

To Ireland!

For those of you that don't know me, and for those that do, I am Brianna. I'm a 6th semester Zoology and Anthropology student (junior) at Washington State University. Currently I am on a track for visiting Ireland come a little under a year from now. I plan on being there for my spring semester of 2013, and that is where this blog comes in. Over the course of the next year, I hope to fill in my friends and family, as well as any strangers that may be lurking around, about my exciting journey to the Isle of Éire. I hope to share valuable information with other people wishing to study abroad, or just entertain my friends with my adventures.

For a little bit more about my personal self, that many of you may not know, or just for shits and giggles; I am an aspiring novelist, with one book done and in editing, and plans on many, many more. I currently have one published poem, which was done through a contest when I was in high school. I plan of attending a veterinarian school, any really that will take me at this point. I am very much an animal lover, dogs, cats, horses, wolves, polar bears, cattle, etc. I hope to one day run my own clinic and service cattle and horses alike. Here at WSU I have taken several animal sciences, biology, chemistry, and even a beef cattle management course.

With my trip to Ireland, I plan Going to the University of Limmerick (pic above), and on taking four or five courses, depending on what I can get into once I’m at the school. My current hope are for and anatomy class, horse behavior, horse nutrition and an Irish folk lore class, with maybe a horse management class thrown into the mix. I am excited about this trip and hope it will enhance my life (and my application to vet school). I hope my continued blog becomes increasingly more enjoyable to read as the days fly past and I am on my way to the bonny shores of my blood lines.

Slán, labhairt leat go luath.
