All Work and Some Play
November 12, 2009 2:20 PM by Skyler Perkins
Being a working student, there is always a constant, but delicate, balance between work and school. Today is the 2-week anniversary of my re-entering the working world and, oh, how I missed it! Being unemployed for 3 months certainly has a way of helping Read More...

Graduate Ingenuity
November 5, 2009 3:17 PM by Skyler Perkins
My plans to move to the other side of the country in the next several months have put a little shred of fear in my mind. I've been living on my own for quite some time and, like many, I've accumulated a LOT of stuff over the years. With my externship Read More...

Waiting is Always the Hardest Part
October 29, 2009 9:30 AM by Skyler Perkins
My third externship is now only 4 months away, so time is really starting to wind down. As of yet, I still have absolutely no idea where I'm going to end up. I've discovered in recent years, that I am quite the "Type A" personality. And other than our Read More...

October 22, 2009 1:06 PM by Skyler Perkins
A very disturbing discussion was brought up at my clinical site this week. For all you AuDs specializing in hearing aids, listen up--you might want to hear this! At the risk of starting some controversy, I feel compelled to bring up this subject. It was Read More...

Not So Small Talk
October 15, 2009 12:31 PM by Skyler Perkins
Our third-year class had the unique opportunity to attend an all-day vestibular workshop on our campus. Of course, I was pumped about this! Vestib happens to be right up my alley. The professor in charge of the event happened to know this little nugget Read More...

A Welcomed Change in Plans
October 8, 2009 8:49 AM by Skyler Perkins
An announcement was made to our class this week, and it might change the start of my 3 rd -year externship. We were told that our comprehensive exams could be pushed back 2 months earlier, from May to March. How do I feel about this you may ask? I think Read More...

The Eyes Have It
October 1, 2009 11:16 AM by Skyler Perkins
It's finally happened! I finally had a chance to see my first vestibular assessment. I had seen one in class, but this was my first true vestib assessment. For those who are not sure what in the world a vestibular assessment is or what it's for, let me Read More...

Aids to Our Success
September 24, 2009 10:21 AM by Skyler Perkins
This week, I thought I would bring up a part of school that is often overlooked--financial aid. If you haven't already, thank the folks in your financial aid office. And if they are anything like the people in the office at my school, invite them to Thanksgiving Read More...

Options Unlimited

This week, I finally got a chance to see my new site and meet my new preceptor. I'm very excited, because I have the opportunity to be working under an audiologist that works in an ENT practice. I know I will be getting my share of just what I've been Read More...

Countdown to the Beginning
September 3, 2009 8:33 AM by Skyler Perkins
It's down to the last free week before the fall quarter begins, and to be honest, I'm kind of ready for school to start. Does that make me weird? I know I'd better enjoy what break I have left now, because by the middle of November, I'm going to be on Read More...

Faith the Size of a Mustard Seed
August 28, 2009 1:15 PM by Skyler Perkins
My mother use to always tell me that all you needed was faith the size of a mustard seed to get things accomplished. This is week is certainly testing my mother's theory. I'm still on the job hunt and coming up with absolutely nothing, and time is ticking Read More...

Unexpected Pleasant Surprises
August 20, 2009 1:16 PM by Skyler Perkins
The job hunt continues and, as of now, nothing solid yet. I applied as a traveling tutor but have no clients yet, so I have to continue pressing on for something else. To be honest, going to people's homes, riding around in 110-degree weather and running Read More...

August 13, 2009 9:05 AM by Skyler Perkins
I finally had the chance to redeem myself and retake my COMPS. Only this time, I had a lot more knowledge and a lot more confidence. I think I blew it out the water! What a wonderful feeling to finally get that over with; now, I can move on. I'm still Read More...
