Welcome
Hello! My name is Miranda - welcome to my blog. I recently graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science, and next month, I'll be starting my new journey as a first-year student at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine! VMCVM is located at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. I'm a DVM Candidate for the Class of 2021.
As the blog title may suggest, I've wanted to be a veterinarian since I was a child. In fact, I came up with the name "The Kitty Doctor" a long time ago, and I've owned the domain name and the blog since 2006 (to put that into perspective, I was ten years old when I made my first blog post!). At the time, cats were (and still are) my favorite animal, so naturally the title was born. In just four years, I'll have my degree and officially be able to use that title!
In one month, I will be moving to Blacksburg, where I'll be living in an apartment with two roommates. I'm not familiar with the area at all, so it'll definitely be an adventure. Even though I currently live in Virginia, I grew up in New Jersey. In the past three years since I've moved here, I haven't spent more than a few weeks here at a time, since I was still a Rutgers student. Luckily, both of my roommates attended Virginia Tech for undergrad, so they'll be able to help me find my way around Blacksburg. In forty-four days, my class of 120 students will have our White Coat Ceremony, where we will each be given a nice, white lab coat, a name tag, and a stethoscope! Three days after that is our first day of classes.
I'm so grateful for this opportunity to be one step closer to my dream of being a veterinarian. I have never been so excited for school. I've already amassed several items of VT and VMCVM apparel and started buying school supplies such as scalpel blades. Every time I've visited VT, all of the students and faculty have been so welcoming and helpful, and I can't wait to join the VT community. Thanks for reading!

Are you really an Animal Science major if you don't take graduation photos on the campus farm?
