Time is short, so I've been tying up loose ends. I've hired someone to clean my house (a totally new venture for me), scheduled to get DSL installed (so I can study my school's online materials), and finished painting my laundry room (sunflower yellow). I also cooked about a month's worth of dinners, leaving my freezer quite full, but hopefully saving me some headaches later on. Somehow I'm managing to get most of my mental pre-med school to-do list done! I'm sure there is something important that I am forgetting. Two days ago I completed my series of hepatitis shots for school. Because I only had one MMR as a child I had to get one of those, and the school also requires a tuberculosis test so I got that done as well. My daughter was glad that I was getting the shots instead of her! Usually the school requires that students be up-to-date on tetanus as well, but with the current shortage of the vaccine they are exempting us. I've been getting my shots at the city-county health department and I've been quite impressed with them! With schools starting quite soon, they were very busy, although mostly with children. I had made an appointment for my shots, but the TB test wasn't included in that appointment. The wait to get the TB test was quite long, but I had to get it done that day or wait a whole month (the MMR interferes with TB testing). I called my school to see if they had a problem with me waiting a month and they suggested that I go to one of their clinics. They let me just drop in to have the test…and to have it read today. In fact, when I went in today, the receptionist knew I was a student and told me to just grab my chart and go on back. It felt a bit odd to walk around as if I belonged there already! Last weekend I had dinner with some of my soon-to-be classmates.
It was nice to get a chance to meet a few people before orientation actually
begins! We had a good time chatting and everyone got along well. I hope this
holds true for the entire class! Would you like to keep an online diary at MomMD? We'd love to hear your story. Visit this page and start your own! *Some names have been changed.
