Where Does the Time Go? Seriously, Where!?

So classes started last week (the 3rd).  I haven't stopped running, since.  I can't imagine what I'll do once I get a job, since almost every moment is homework or school/volunteer related.  But I will figure it all out.

I had my first interview with an ambulance company on the first day of school.  I forgot one of the answers on the mini-test they gave me, and I royally screwed up on one part of the scenario (forgot to insert an OPA before rescue breathing).  And then I forgot to get a business card and follow up.  Well, I guess it's a warm-up interview.  It HAS been awhile since my last interview...bound to be a little rusty.  Hopefully one of the other companies will call me for an interview. Sigh. I just want to work, again!

Meanwhile, Organic Chemistry is a lot of fun, although I hear it gets much harder halfway through the semester.  Hopefully I'll stay on top of it all.  And my Biology class is fun, too, though I'm looking forward to moving up the chain of evolution to multi-celled organisms!

My volunteer work has shrunk to three hours a week instead of four for this semester.  I'm trying not to ditch it entirely as I find it rewarding and fun to interact with patients and other volunteers.  But I may take a day or two off on weeks of particularly difficult exams.

My first week as a leader for PLTL was unsatisfying.  I shared one student with another leader the first day, and then had zero students for my next session.  Hoping more will come out to seek some assistance.  I'll be emailing the teachers this weekend to remind their students I'm waiting for them.  :)

As if I'm not doing enough with all the above, I also am attending PLTL for Physics 2A to refresh my memory for the MCAT next May (even though I already took the class).  And I've started working on my personal statement for when I sign up with AMCAS to start applying to medical schools.

My zazzle website is slow right now, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to add some more designs.  But the items on there are looking for buyers!  (http://www.zazzle.com/medscistuff)

Finally, as if being broke isn't enough, my kitty Starlight had a major constipation episode that ended up costing me over five hundred bucks and a sleepless night or two.  Thankfully he's doing fine, now!  In fact, he's sleeping on my pillow on my bed right this moment.  :)

Looking forward to a very productive semester.  And winter break! ;)
