I finally had the first night of my internship at the sleep lab and it went great. I was a bit worried because the director of the center seemed like a real hard ass, but the sleep techs I'm actually working with are extremely laid back. There is a bunch of down time, so I shouldn't have any trouble getting my school work done there. The most encouraging bit is that in talking with the director and the techs, I think that I'm probably going to be ready to take the certification test after I finish my internship in January. This means I would be saving thousands of dollars in tuition AND that I would be certified this coming spring instead of next fall. Which means I would be able to start a real job with a real salary a lot sooner. Also, the clinic I'm interning for is opening 3 new locations in the next year or so. This means that they will need to at least double their staff by hiring on 10-12 new techs. There is a very good possibility that I will be able to just step into a position there. Job prospects for me are better than they've been in a long time, thank goooood.
Now if only I could get some sleep. I've been trying to acclimate myself for a week now, but it's still pretty rough. My body is exhausted, but my brain is like, "It's finally daytime. Time to be AWAKE." And I'm like, "Shut up, brain. You were totally ready to go to sleep on the drive home. Why won't you let me sleep now?" And my brain is like, "IDK, LOL!"
P.S. Here is a picture of my brain:
