Started school 2 weeks ago and it has been quite overwhelming. Mostly because it’s in Danish and even though I speak it pretty much fluently, my insecurities do get to me. Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Will I ever get into vet school? These are the questions that run through my head all day. It’s exhausting, mainly because I know I got this.
Last week we had to write an analysis on a piece of Danish literature and it wasn’t easy. I struggled quite a bit with it, but I decided to just go for it and see what happens. I got the feedback on that piece back and heard that I wrote one of the best pieces in class. Made some mistakes, but nothing major. If I work on those mistakes I could get a perfect grade. Amazing right? Yes, but for some reason my brain keeps telling me that I won’t ever be able to improve and get better. Ridiculous!
I know it’s only been two weeks and I should just get used to it because it’s just so new. But it’s frustrating that I can’t seem to get rid of that anxiety. I guess we’ll see how the rest goes. In the end, getting into vet school is the only thing that matters, so I’m just going to fight for it.
