A Florescent-Bright Future
So things are looking up re: my future.
I have found several more programs I can apply to. While none of them are quite as perfect as UCSF, many are great and will work just fine (should I get in). I have completed one application and am working on another due on January 15th. Then I will apply to many more in the coming year. Since these programs are all accelerated ones geared towards getting students a second bachelors degree or a bachelors/masters combo deal, they all start at different times of the year and go year-round. Therefore, I am working on a big matrix of all the programs I want to apply to, when their deadlines are, what courses are required, etc.
This is a lot of work (sigh).
Other good news: I just got a volunteer position at an ER in downtown LA! Well kind of. The head of ER nursing is a friend of a friend and she called just now. She wants me to come in next week, fill out my paper work, get a TB test and then start. She said the hours are up to me so it sounds like it's pretty much a sure thing.
I envision helping out a cute doctor while he skillfully tends to gunshot wounds. Just kidding. Well, I'm only kidding a little bit. I'm sure there will actually be gunshot wounds to tend to. And I do love me some cute doctor. But I know that the fantasies in my head are way more glamorous than the reality of it all. And even if there is a cute doctor, I might not notice. No one looks good under florescent light.
One more thing. People have been asking about the hotel in Ensenada, so here's a picture of the of the pool/deck area. Every room had an ocean view looking out over this:
