The waiting game...

Lately, I feel like I have been playing the waiting game. This is mainly because MQP and internship. Now that I have passed in all the necessary paperwork I'm just waiting... waiting for that call that will explain my poisition to me... the one that will tell me how much I will be making over the summer.

As for MQP, I'm just waiting... waiting for the secretary to email me back with an appointment time with my advisor!! I realize she must be super busy and everything but I have sent, and re sent her same emails three times already!! gahhHh.. I don't think I like the waiting game. It makes me anxious to not know what I'm going to be doing.

Anyways, thats my story for now. What are you all upto? Waiting for anything? If you are and know how to make this waiting period not seem so terrible please be sure to comment and help me out :-D That would be wonderful.

Well there's a long weekend coming up. I'm sure gonna make the best of it. Hope you all have a great weekend too! Next week is a short one =D YAY.

Decision made!

I have finally made a decision! I know I knowww all of you are DYINGGG to know what it isss ;o) so I will no longer keep you in suspense.

I chose......... Hospital..................................................... Y.

My reasons? Welll I really liked the idea of being able to network in a new environment. Also, I liked the opportunity of exploring a new field, hence learning new things. I also decided to go with Hospital Y because maybe there I will be able to find out what other doctors did when they took years off. This way I will have an idea of what to do which will be very helpful you know?

As for MQP, I'm still trying to hash that out with my advisor.. no luck so far though :-/... Hopefully something works out.

Anyways, that's all the update I have for you guys for now soo I'll update back next time!

The latest...

Alright, soo lately I have been extremely confused as to what to do with my summer. There are quite a few options and its driving me nuts...

Option # 1: Go back to work where I worked last summer (Hospital X)
Pros - Pay will be higher, familiar people
Cons- Nothing new to learn.

Option #2: Go work at a new place, Hopital Y
Pros - New people to meet (more networking options), new material to learn.
Cons - Lower pay.

Option # 3: Work at a biotech company
Pros- A lot higher pay than my other two options, new experience (since I've never worked at one before), new people, maybe it would open up more options for a career.
Cons - doesn't add to experience for med school

Option # 4: MQP
Pros- I will get it out of the way and my senior year won't be as hectic
Cons - No $$

So... what should I do?
