Hello Friends,
Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted on here. I'm sure you all have missed my elegant wording, philosophical input, and just overall quality writing......HAHA who am I kidding. Well, for those of you that do enjoy reading my blog I wanted to kind of give you an update on my life lately....it has been surprisingly exciting over these past few weeks. (Shocking, I know ;) )
First things first, med school update. Well it's not looking promising. I have two schools yet to reply, but the others have declined my acceptance into medical school for this Fall. It's okay to shed a few tears, my wallet and I shed a few ourselves. At first I was really, really upset about this. I couldn't believe that after all the time, effort, and faith that I had put into this hadn't paid off. I was angry at God, I was angry at myself, and I was angry at anyone else that told me I shouldn't be upset. However, I have decided to take a new approach with this experience. I now know how the MCAT works, how the application process goes, and I will be ready to reapply next year. Over this next year I know that there is something I am supposed to do, something I am supposed to learn, maturity (which we all know I lack) to gain, and life to experience. While I may not be happy with the timing, I am willing to put my desires aside to follow the plan God has laid out for me.
That being said, I also have some very exciting news (No, I am not dating, engaged, or anywhere close to either of those. Sorry Mom haha). I have accepted a full time position with a company called Elite Medical Scribes (EMS). EMS is currently located in Minneapolis, MN. As most of you know, I currently work as a scribe in the ER at Covenant Hospital in Waterloo. For those of you that don't know what a scribe is....let me tell you. My job is to do all of the medical charting, during an exam, for the physician I am assigned to. I also check up on labs, test results, and other relevant materials to increase the efficiency of the physician. The company I was hired by offers the same assistance as the company I am currently employed by. However, my job will be slightly different in my new job. Instead of working as a scribe at one location, my job will be to travel to new locations to train scribes. When the company sets up a new site, I will be sent to help the company train the scribes and get the site up and running. In between sites I will be helping the company develop training materials, and assisting wherever I am needed. These locations have the potential to be located throughout the country, and I will most definitely be doing a lot of traveling over the next year. Surprisingly enough, I will be moving to Texas in the middle of May, shortly after two of my best friends get married (hope you enjoyed the shout out Molly and Seth). Yes, the company is based in Minnesota, and I will be moving to Texas.
I am extremely excited to begin this new adventure in my life, but I am also very anxious as well. I have become quite accustomed to life in Cedar Falls, and I absolutely love it here. I will be leaving a church that I adore, a town that I like more than my own (don't worry Osky, you are still my first love), and the people that I love. I have been extremely blessed to have such a great college experience, and I am apprehensive to leave it behind. However, I know that this new experience offers me a chance to grow, and gain some great life experience. The networking and experiences I will have will be great for my, hopeful, future career as a physician.
I hope that all is well with all of you, and that you as well find yourself with upcoming adventures. If not, hang in there for it will soon be your time. Thank you all for reading!
