Week #2

Well, I've officially survived week #2!! Granted, I'm not home yet, but, I have a fully belly, a comfy bed, and a late flight tomorrow morning (technically, not until early afternoon)... which as far as I'm concerned is a perfect equation for happiness! :) This week was my Ohio tour, and other than a flight delay coming out of Cleveland, everything has gone smoothly, weather has been great, and overall no complaints! First, I attended an open house at the Cleveland VA, and then today attended an interview at the Dayton VA. Although some of my classmates have given me odd looks for applying to Ohio sites, both of the sites seem to really emphasize clinical training- which is very exciting!

This week also marked the halfway point in my interviews! Things are going really well, and I'm enjoying the process of learning about the different internship sites, meeting the staff, and imagining myself at each of the sites. At this point, I've been really excited about half of the sites, and okay (but not so excited) about the other half of the sites... not bad odds considering I still have 4 interviews to go!

Tomorrow will be a lazy morning & traveling during the day, and then practicum etc. on Thurs/Friday. I'm looking forward to a restful evening weekend, as next week is my "busy" week- my last four interviews, all out of state, within a span of 7 days!! I'm hoping that I continue to show up in the right cities on the right days, and am looking forward to learning more about the other sites (but if I"m a little bit distracted/confused/disoriented, you'll know why!)
