This week it hit me. I will be leaving Portland in a relatively short time. Actually 3 months, exactly! I don't know how time all of a sudden flew by, but it did. I can't sit idle an longer waiting for things to happen, I need to make them happen. I need to spend time with my friends while I can, because things will be different after May. Yeah, I plan to come back to Portland after med school, but things won't be the same. I will be working longer hours, my friends will be in different places, as will I. I really need to cherish the dwindling moments I have left here!
I have an eventful weekend planned, which will include working on my scrap book - which I hope to start and finish in 3 months. My first one took 4 years to finish!
I am also working on getting everything finalized for DMU. Another submission of transcripts to the school, a background check, and the FAFSA. The list is long, I am used to this kind of thing from the application process, so it is becoming second nature.
Work is going fine. I am getting better at my phlebotomy skills, and more confident with patients. I had a first today - a patient fainted during the draw. It was exciting but not too dramatic nor very eventful (she fell on the arm of the chair and I kept pressure on her arm.) Every new event that I handle gets me more excited for what I will encounter in school and clincials. I can't wait to see where this will take me!
