I didn’t really have time to write about it this week but I was finally able to get my recommendation letter for an emotional support animal. Needless to say, I was overjoyed because at this point I didn’t really think it would happen, and even if it did I thought the process would be slow. I guess I was wrong because today is a big day for me. I am going to two different shelters with the intention of bringing home a cat. Hopefully everything goes to plan and I’ll finally have a companion with me at college. Getting that letter was excessively difficult, but it paid off in the end. I haven’t told many people so I can’t wait to surprise them, especially my roommates and Vic. The people I did tell seemed excited for me but it’s only a handful. I’m still slightly in shock that this was able to happen, and I can’t wait to meet all the cats today. Even if I don’t bring one home immediately, at least I’ll get to be in a giant room full of cats. Having an emotional support animal really is a step forward for my mental health at college. I’m really looking forward to today.
