new layout & beginning of clinicals

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

It’s been a little over a year since I opened this domain so a new layout was in order. Starts off with Moby-Dick — god, I wanted to stab that book — and ends with my version of the ending credits of Woman in the Dunes.

I started clinicals last Wednesday. My instructor contacted me last Tuesday and I opted to start immediately. No sense in putting it off.

I’m pleased. It’s my first time on the clock in over three years because of my disability even if I’m not getting paid! The pharmacist is lovely and its privately owned so its the perfect start for me.

a couple of concerns

going back to school!

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

On April 11th I go back to school. Not university since I’m graduating in May (still nervous about the actual ceremony!). This is going to be a 15 week course that will supposedly land me a job. I really want to start working again but I know I’ll have to ease myself into it before going full out. So, it’s going to be pharmacy tech, 15 weeks, then 120 hours of clinical. The only downside is that the school is an hour away and at 8:30am. Ugh. I plan on going to sleep ultra-early the day before and taking sleeping pills (full dose, not half strength) to ensure I don’t stay awake looking at the ceiling.

So, I’m relieved that I’m going to be doing something productive again. I tell myself it’s only 15 weeks, which isn’t bad. Clinicals can be arranged to be a lot closer to where I live so that’s not an issue. I’m nervous but I think this will be a good change. I know I dropped out of the workforce against my wishes (had to do with medical insurance, which I couldn’t not have, and my disability) but I really want to try to get back into it. If I fail the first time, I’ll try again, again, etc.

Wish me luck! :D
