Two weeks ago I had to turn in my Safety Officer Badge...yep, thats right, I quit. Why you might be asking? Well, again, as most may already know, I have decided after much wrestling with the Lord, that I should pursue a career as a Medical Doctor, and as such, there were certain things that I needed to do in order to get there. The first, and most important thing that I need to do to reach this goal, is I need to get into Med school. Duh right? Well, as part of that process, I need to take the MCAT Exam (Medical College Admissions Test), so I decided to sign up for a MCAT Prep class at the Kaplan Test Center in Irvine. The class is very good, but it required much more of my time than I had initially anticipated, so, I asked work for 6 weeks Leave of Absence so that I could focus 100% of my efforts on preparing for this test. Unfortunately, my request could not be honored, so, I decided that I needed to quit in order to get the much needed study time that I wanted. So, I had to hang up the Safety Sash, turn in all my unused tickets, and hand over by badge. It was a sad day to leave, but was ultimately the right decision.
So for the past 2 weeks I have been studying relentlessly. 7 Days a week, for several hours on end. The MCAT Exam is three weeks from today (Yikes!), and I feel that I still have SO much to learn and recall from my days as an undergrad student in physics, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biology.
Oh, and don't worry...a safety ticket was issued during my reign (though it was really issued by my co-safety officer after we discussed the matter). It was issued to...are you ready for this...one of the 7 senior lab managers! Yep, no one was above the law when I was in charge...ah, the memories...
Ok...back to studying!
