My Internship Choices

Had to have them turned in by yesterday, so here's the list I turned in.

1. Covenant Health Care
2. Bay Regional Medical Center
3. Central Michigan Community Hospital
4. Henry Ford Wyandotte


I hope I get either Covenant (that is the best lab that I've seen) or Bay Med so that I can live at home for free

Lots o' thoughts...

Ok, I haven't updated in a while, so here goes a major update, starting from Friday.

Friday (AKA Fate Hates Me):
I went to go home to work last weekend and it just seemed like fate didn't want me to get home. First off I stopped at the bank and went to get some money out of the ATM and my ID card got stuck in the ATM, so I had to wait a half hour for them to get it out since I needed it. Then as I'm going home I get stuck behind all these slow vehicles that wouldn't go the speed limit, and that annoyed me to all end because I couldn't pass them. Then, I get about halfway home and I'm behind this truck that's pulling a trailer, now nothing was tied down in this trailer and so after a few miles this box of something flew out and I swerved to try to miss it and ended up sideswiping it. I still don't know what was in it, but luckily it didn't do any damage to my car.

Saturday and Sunday (Boy Work is Fun!)
Two days and nineteen hours of work. That should give you some indication of how I was feeling by the end of work on Sunday. Work was hellish because we have these new Core Standards to impliment. We're assigned to certain areas of the department, and everything has to be sized, all the merchandise on tables has to be the same height and the racks can't be too full. I'm glad that the next time I work, it'll all be done. Plus on Sunday I wasn't scheduled to be in until noon and then they changed it to 8am. That was a joy. Sunday night though was the last night that Mussell Beach was open, so mom and dad took me there for dinner and Jackie spoiled us by making us fresh elephant ears, and we got everything that we ordered for $1. It was pretty sweet. Then I told Jackie that she needed to come to Ferris and cook for us at St Paul's. She laughed at me. Good times.

All Weekend (My Car is Possessed!)
Yeah, so the power locks on my car have decided that they will only work when they feel like working. That's a lot of fun. Especially when it just decides to randomly start unlocking and relocking while I'm turning and driving. I need a new car.

Internship Progress
So today I went to Central Michigan Community Hospital in Mt Pleasant with Niki because she didn't want to go on a site visit on her own. I wasn't expecting to be that impressed by it, but it's a really nice place. It's this hospital that looks all cute and old on the outside, but modern on the inside. The lab is pretty cool and the people are very nice. I'm torn between that hospital and Bay Med as my 2nd choice. The major drawback to CMCH is that I'd have to find a place in Mt Pleasant to live, and thus have to pay rent. I dunno what to do.

Week Eight

It's week eight of the semester. For many people that means midterms, luckily none for me so I guess I'm lucky there. But it hit me. I'm 8 weeks away from being finished here at Ferris. I'm 2 weeks away from my assigned registration date to be able to register for my internship. In 2 or 3 weeks I'll know what hospital that I'll be doing my internship at and if I need to find a place to live or if I'm moving back home. It's kinda freaky. I'm 24 weeks away from graduation. I have my graduation clearance paperwork waiting to be filled out when I meet with Dan later this week. I'm nervous about graduating. It's kinda funny, here I am, four years of college later, ready to be a productive member of society. That's after I take my certification exam. I don't even know where I want to work yet. I went to the job fair on Thursday and got all kinds of offers, people wanting me to contact them in February and then Northern Michigan Hospital in Petosky was offering to put people up in a hotel for a night before an interview and then an interview the next day and being able to job shadow to see how you like the hospital. I dunno, it seems like it's years away, but I know it'll come before I know it and I'll be looking for a job after taking my certification exam. Eight more weeks still at Ferris...

I'm so mad at myself right now

I wanted to go to lap swim at 11:30. So I got up this morning and stood in line for a half hour to get hockey tickets for two games and then came back and since I didn't fall asleep until close to 4am, I went back to bed, and I set my alarm to go off at 11:15 so that I could go to lap swim. Yeah, I didn't turn it on. I woke up at 12:20. Go me.

I got in!

I just got the email, I'm a member elect of Omnicron Delta Kappa! Who would have thought that I'd ever be a part of a Greek organization

Random thoughts

What is it with people trying to squeeze between me and a semi truck when I'm in the left lane and there's barely a car length in between me and the semi?

I-75. Northbound. Friday. 3:30pm. Leaving Detroit area. Bow season. Need I say more?

Who was the person that decided that exit 69 on I-75 would be the exit for Big Beaver Rd?

Why can't I remember what I wanted to blog about 2 days ago when I couldn't get to a computer?

I can't wait for this semester to be over.

I'm tired

Interview News

I tried to do this Monday night but blogger was being a bitch and last night I was just too tired. Anywho...

My interviews went well. Covenant's lab is absofreakinglutely amazing. In the chemistry department you don't even have to touch the tube once you put it on the line, it does everything. And in hematology, you don't even have to make a smear, it does it for you and stains it.

After seeing Covenant, Bay Med seemed like a bit of a let down because they're still a few years away from being at the level of Covenant, but everyone was very friendly and I liked the micro guy. AND, we got to see part of an autopsy too. That was sweet!

Disgustingly cool

I got to see part of an autopsy as part of my interview/tour at Bay Med today. It was cool, in a disgustingly cool sort of way. Didn't really get to see that much since we just peeked in, but yeah, it was cool.

In other news, I almost removed a fingernail with a hammer at home last night. That hurt

Disgustingly cool

Got to see part of an autopsy today as part of my tour/interview at Bay Med. It was pretty cool, kinda freaky, but cool all the same. Didn't really see much though, it was mainly a quick peek in, but I still loved it. Med school here I come!

I hate my life...

today was payday and even though I worked in the last pay period, apparently I haven't worked there long enough to get paid, as I found out when I went to pick up my paycheck. And I should have everything on file cuz this is the 4th year that I've worked on campus. bastards. And I already gave them notice that my last day would be Sunday but now I'm tempted to not go in at all this weekend because they screwed me over and just go home now instead of Sunday night.

Excuse me while I go stand on the street corner to go make some money...
