End of Summer

So today was my official last day of summer, and my last day of freedom before entering the "real world." It has been a great summer break, all 2 1/2 weeks of it haha Since my last update, I went to the state fair again for some more adventure seeking and eating yummy food that my stomach could handle. I've been sick for the past week, so it hasn't been too eventful. Yesterday I went to a potluck out at the campground with some family. It was very relaxing just sitting by the campfire and visiting. Having almost no cell phone reception just added to the peacefulness. As for today, it was more relaxing for me. I ran a few errands this morning to hit up the big Labor Day sales, and then headed home to kick back before my 50-hour weeks start up. I bet you thought I only had to do 40-hour weeks, which is half right. My internship starts up tomorrow at Cascade, and that's going to be 40 hours a week. However, it's only 4 days a week, which you might remember reading earlier. Because of that, I'm keeping my job at Kohls and working there on weekends. So I'm going from an 18-credit student to a 50-hour working intern. It's quite a transition, but it should be fun. It will be a lot of working, but at least there's no homework to worry about.

I'm pretty anxious about tomorrow. It's going to be my first day on the job as a full-fledged intern. I'm familiar with the clinic since I did some shadowing there my first semester in school. However, that was almost 2 years ago. Luckily, it's still mostly the same people there, so I still know some of the techs and a couple doctors. But I'm still a little anxious. It's all the little stuff that I can't help but wonder: How early do I get there? What do I bring with me? What should I be prepared to do on my first day? How much hands-on will there be or am I just going to be observing? I know I'm prolly just worrying too much and asking too many questions, but I can't help it. It's the next stage in my life and I don't want to mess it up. I gotta be up early though, so time to go review the paperwork and get ready for a long day. I'll let you know how it goes when I get home from my 10 hours of working.
