My life is in pieces. Don't get me wrong, I feel quite fine (although stressed like woah). It's just that this whole going practice -thing is spreading all around in tiny pieces and I'm in constant fear that I'll loose the strings, forget to do something and everything come crashing down. So I think I'm going to list everything down. Sorry if I'm being boring.
1. Join the union - checked. I'll just need to pay the membership fee, join the unemployment ring and the prescription fee ring which all leads to
2. Change the bank and get some loan. I'm working on it. I have a shiny new account and the credit card and electron are on their way. Loan will be settled next week hopefully. They already have my new account number in Kela. As a bonus I got a lovely green elephant piggy bank, yay ^_^. Oh, and I need to go and close my old account. (Phew, I try not to think of the day I'll have to do this all over again, aka the day I'll take loan for a car or appartment or something. This bank offered the cheapest student loan but I have no idea for other loans...)
3. Buy a laptop, navigator and the bank- and credit card thing so that people can pay me with cards during the summer. Then check what you have left and a) get some more loan or b) buy all the stuff you can and hope for the best. There are lots of vet stuff I'd like to own but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to buy for now. I wouldn't like to take too much loan... Oh, and finnish that list of things you can't live without and send them to the places your going to work and ask if they have them all.
4. Before #3, get yourself a private practioner status and number from the state and register yourself both value added tax and advance tax payer. Well, I send them an aplication a week ago. I hope I'll heard from them soon.
5. Get a veterinarian number. I've sent an email to student secretary and she forwarded it to Evira. Knowing how fast they are, I quess it'll take a month or so to hear from them.
6. Fight yourself a decent salary. This will be hard and frustrating but I'll do it Dog dammit. If they want me badly enough, they'll pay me decent and well. My limit is 2000 plus at least 15 €/hour for being on call plus 8 free days per month (if not possible, I'm more than willing to accept money :) plus a free appartment plus vacation fee. Hopefully I'll get them.
7. Write that stupid essey about spleencancers and return it in time. Get some signatures from old esseys to my clinic book. I keep forgeting this. Stupid clinic book.
8. Sign up to the final exam of reproduction medicine. Did this one today. Now I'll only have to study for the exam.
9. Get the clinic- and bookkeeping computer program. Well, I ordered this one yesterday and asked if it's ok that I'm not installing it instantly. I don't have to laptop yet because I need to get the loan and the private practice number first in order to have money and the permission to deduct the price from my taxes. I needed to order it now in order to get it for free for summer.
What else... Oh, and try to learn something while in clinic.
It's funny but I'm not at all worried the medicine part of going to practice on my own. It's all this other stuff that makes me stressed. Oh well, I'm working on it. Anyway, I'll be glad when it's over.
Sometimes I hope it'd be July already and I could be in Kitee focusing only to veterinary medicine once again without anybody disturbing. And then sometimes I hope it would be September and I'd be back in school safe and sound and wouldn't have to think so much all the time. Becides, I'd be having lots of money :).
I think I'll manage. Most of the things listed above I've already started. I'm not nearly as stressed as I was a week ago.
