Today was my mid-term evaluation for my externship at the hospital. I was confident that I've been doing a good job and wasn't worried about the grade I would receive. However, what I wasn't prepared for was the extremely high praise that I received from my supervisor. My supervisor has had many students over many years, so she's seen her share of good ones and not-so-good ones. During my evaluation today, my supervisor informed me of what a great job I've been doing so far...and then she went on to inform me that I'm one of the best students she's ever had. Really?! Wow! I was flabbergasted... What does a "flabbergasted" face look like? Because I tried REALLY hard to not look it! I felt really honored too, though. It was kind of like an affirmation to myself that I really am cut out for the medical part like I thought I was. Going to work loving what you're doing all day must be the key. I think back to when I took one of my first classes in Neurology back in undergrad, and I was SOO fascinated by it all, and I wondered if that meant that I'd enjoy the medical portion of the field. We didn't get much hands-on access to the medical part of our field before we went out to our externships. When I began this semester...it just felt like it all fit. And I now have that "feeling" confirmed. I have my confirmation of affirmation.....now if I can just find a job......
And as for the job hunt, I've got my interview in Greenville next week. I'm hoping it goes well! But I've actually had some new "developments" in my once thought set course....but more on that at another time. I know, I'm such a tease, right??
Later!
