Today was my final exam (written, multiple choice) & full mock (blood draw, physical exam, oral swab, etc). I passed both. Then I came back. Got yelled at gently for not being willing to do exams & stuff. Started off helping the swamped paperworker, moved to giving results over the phone, then in person, and finally saw 4 appointments (supervised, and my supervisor did the blood draws).
It was actually cool stuff. I liked it, had fun, saw some very interesting people.
But I’m almost done with classes. Bonus classes include every cool thing we could cram into 2 hours that will make you an amazing medic, and counseling skills.
So, in truth, just one more week. Hmmm. How strange is that going to be. I won’t have a substitute for a life on friday evenings. =)
you know, perhaps some of your social complaints of late stem from the fact that you have been “substituting” an STD clinic for a “life.” now, as a chemist in grad school, i am by no means throwing stones. i, however, do not view the chemistry department at all as a “substitute” for “a life on friday evenings.” the chemistry department is many things, but a life on fridays evenings it is not. perhaps you would have a funner time with things if they didn’t revolve around gonorrhea.
seriously though, congrats on being done with training! perhaps now you can tell me what this bump is on my … never mind. 🙂
reading back over that, i don’t think the sarcasm is 100% apparent, so i’ll tag on a disclaimer here for the few people who may read that last post and tell me to get my ass to a clinic, pronto. so, (insert your own version of a disclaimer here that covers jokes made in bad taste).
Well, I viewed it at first as more of an impediment to a life, then it became a habit. Now it’s a thoroughly ingrained habit. I mean, what else is a guy to do on a friday night 😉 Well, at least a broke guy. I oughta throw a party at some point…
