Officially in Session
Cheers to a short and sweet first week back! Last week, we were able to meet the first-year students for the first time. A new concept was used this year during the first grand rounds. We were asked to sit beside a first-year and, when it was our turn, introduce them and tell where they were from. I thought this was a pretty cool idea. They got to know us and, in return, we got to know them.
I just realized that, starting this quarter, I will only be on campus 2 days a week, and the rest of the days I will be in clinic. The reality of being a third-year student is finally beginning to hit me, and I like it. I'm anxious to see where my new clinical site will be, and what new things I will learn there.
This weekend I also was able to get another car, so I am officially back on the road! I'm still continuing to look for a job, but considering all that has improved over the last week, I'm willing to be patient about that... at least for the time being. If nothing else, this whole experience has taught me to prioritize what is important and what's not so important.
I realize how important education is to me, and I am willing to make the appropriate sacrifices for it. The countdown is on, and it's T-minus 1 year and 11 months until I can officially call myself a Doctor of Audiology. I can't wait!
