(no subject)
I'm in the final stretch of summer and I wish it would just be over with already. I don't really mean that in a bad way but I'm over anxious to get to Philly and start my new job. Yes I have a job that actually pays and it doesn't start at 6:30 am. I'll be a clinical documentation clerk. Which means I'll be making up charts and filling in patient info. Which is the best way to get my foot in the door of the hospital I wanted to work for and the department. It's amazing really, I thought it would be a few more years before I started working for Jefferson, but my first year in Philly and I have THEM begging ME to work for them. And really over paying me...I mean paying me what I deserve!
I'm not only anxious to get to Philly to start my job but also to see my friends again. I totally miss Tara and Dan and E.I. and even Cabes. But most importantly I soo cannot wait to get all dressed up to see a movie and walk through the city and experience random events with Ben. I definitly miss those nights.
However despite all that I really just want to be able to get an italian hoagie from RTM anytime I want. :0)
Anyway I hate working at a job that everyday when I wake up I literally ahve to push myself to get out of bed. That's sad. I think it's just working here. Because when I worked at the other bakery even more hours it really didn't take much to get me out of bed, I would even shower. This job I'm like "I really don't care". Also the other place paid me double what I'm getting here and my boss loves to annoy me to the point I'm yelling at him every morning. ::sigh:: Just knowing whats waiting for me in Philly keeps the smile on my face and gives me motivation to just get through each day.
Well now that I'm sort of in a (sucky) routine I've been finding myself studying. Yes that's right all you non believers Karissa Lauren is spending her summer nights studying the brain and spinal cord. Just sort of brushing up and preparing for my co-op job so that nothing catches me by surprise to the point where I might panic because I don't know or understand something. But since the place I'm working for deals with all other branches of rehab I'm researching all of that too. Such as reading the latest articles on cancer health and parkinson's treatments and all that fun stuff. It's interesting but at the same time I think I might be stressing myself out too much. I mean physically I'm taking on a job where I don't get a break, I just work work work and I feel like a machine. I'm physically exhausted to the point where I can't function even in the shower because it hurts too much to lift my arms. But in a sense I'm trying not to complain too much because I have to do it. But now I think I'm pushing it by mentally draining myself. I'm trying to re read 8 chapters in my anatomy book. And if you know how I syudy that means reading a paragraph over and over until I can summarize it in my own words without having to go back to get an idea. And in an anatomy book there are A LOT of paragraphs. But I really want to succeed at this job. I want them to see that they were impressed with me before I sat down for a reason. I want them to beg me even more to take the externship after the co-op. I want to make Jefferson health system my bitch basically. And if that means pushing myself until I know the brain and spinal cord and all the nerves to an exact then that's what I'll do. I just hope I can do it. I really would be disappointed in myself if Magee rehabilitation said yea it was a good co-op but perhaps brain and spinal cord rehab just isn't for you, better luck with something else. I just don't want to give myself too much credit. I mean I worked my ass off for teh best co-op and in my mind I got it. Hell they had one opening for this place and I'm the one that got it and not only that I'm the first Drexel co-op student to ever get it. That's a lot of pressure. SO even though I worked hard to get it I need to work harder to let Drexel and Jefferson that they didn't make a mistake choosing me.
Well back to the books
