What a week and a weekend.. I try go to my internship site at least twice a week to volunteer doing random things around the office. Being in a new hospital it can be really difficult to become a recognizable face to the current staff. I want to make that transition as easy as possible for myself and the staff that I will be interacting with on a daily basis.
This week I overslept on my volunteering appointment but eventually made it with coffee in hand for my supervisor and myself. This is something I do often as the hospital can be very hectic sometimes and filling the music library with the smell of coffee can make things all better!
I must say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the music library that the music therapy department has built. not only is there a closet with three walls full of CDs but also a computer with over 12,000 songs on iTunes. I could sit at that computer all day and listen to music..actually for a couple of days straight. I think this week I looked and you could listen to music for 32 days straight. Now that is impressive!
Surgery! Surgery! Surgery! Each day I volunteer I spend a good amount of time loading iPods for all of the surgery patients. This week there were a ton of surgeries and a ton of iPods to be loaded, and I still didn't get them all finsihed. This is a very cool option that surgery patients get offered when they come into the hospital. I definately want an iPod if I ever have to go into the hospital for surgery.
Well I'm officially 2 weeks away from getting married and 23 days away from staring my internship full time! Life is so exciting here lately, I can't hardly stand it!
