Closing a Chapter

Today is our last day of work!

I want to say thank you to everyone for such a great 3 years.  I'm going to miss all of my co-workers!

A couple events this weekend:

Come out Saturday (tomorrow) to the Gluten Free Food Fair!  It is at All Saints Church on 39th and Glisan from 11 to 2.  There will be 40+ vendors with tasty gltuen free goodies. The cost is $5 per person and $10 per family - and you are entered into a raffle.  Jarrett and I will be volunteering, so you will likely see us somewhere.

Saturday night we are having a "quitting work party" at the Green Dragon on SE 9th.  We have reserved a couple tables starting at 8PM.  Come out and celebrate with us!

Next week the real work of packing and prepping for the road trip begins!

Moving Faster

Thinking back to last week, SO very much has changed. The original plan for school was to continue working in Client Services, my current job in the lab until I got in to medical school. From a simple conversation with my Manager last Monday, I was offered a job in Phlebotomy on Wednesday. The biggest twist of this is that I have not yet drawn anyone. I am familiar with the job, but I have not done any of it yet. Everyone I know who is a phlebotomist is sure that I will not have any problem learning it. I am still a little anxious though. (And I should be working on my application for it instead of writing.)

In terms of Med school, this will give me the first hand, and hands on experience that will move me to another level. I still have the average scores, but I am confident that I have a strong experience set. I am beginning to set up my file at UP, the first step of paperwork in this process. I am so excited! I am basically giddy all the time about how things are turning out.
