::A blog I found in my draft folder from earlier this year::
I am so happy to have been offered a job! It's not just any job, either. For about a year now, I have taken steps necessary to finish up my pre-med requirements so I can apply to medical school. Thankfully, I had very few to begin with but that actually posed a whole new problem: how to spend my free time. With my prior job falling through in October, I had even more time to fill. It got seriously boring very quickly. Plus side, I am completely caught up on my Desperate Housewives, thanks to Lifetime Television. Three solid hours of back-to-back episodes a day followed by Grey's Anatomy reruns. That channel became my daytime television of choice for awhile there.
Thankfully, I will now be employed by Emergency Medicine Scribe Systems, a company based out of California, as a Medical Scribe. I can't tell you how happy I am that I will be working soon. This will be such invaluable experience, too, as I will be able to see first hand EVERY damn thing that goes on in an ER. I will either come out of this wanting to be a doctor or not, that's for sure!

Blah.
I am up to my eyeballs in conduct. My sweet, little first years had themselves a bit TOO MUCH fun last weekend, and I'm paying for it now. I spent 6.5 hours of my work day today talking with 12 students about alcohol, marijuana, and the power of poor decision making. My voice is actually hoarse. Plus side, I got into a pretty sweet groove. Here's hoping the flow continues because I have about 6 more cases to get through tomorrow!
But guess who will be paying for once it's all done? THEY WILL!! I think you have to be, or have been, an RD to understand this, but there is nothing like handing down sanctions to students who were found responsible for policy violations! We don't throw the book at them (unless they really deserve it) but we definitely make them rethink their decision making. There is a gratifying aspect to it all, too. I mean, seeing that proverbial light-bulb go off can do wonders when you're barely through half your conduct appointments and someone just scheduled another one.
Ironically, I have jury duty next week. I guess it would be more ironic if I myself had a hearing, but, regardless, I thought it was odd timing. It's like the Court Gods are saying, "Here. Have more!"
