yay free voucher!

so here i am at the airport getting ready to fly to SFO for my conference, and guess what! they asked for someone to give up their seat in this tiny flight to St. Louis (50 ppl capacity, i was seat 1A in my own row!) for another flight leaving 2h later, stops at Dallas (instead of St. Louis), and arrives at SFO 1h later, for $250 voucher. I wondered if the amt would be raised if nobody offered...but after 3 ppl came up asking for the voucher but to other destinations (Wichita, Vegas, etc), i said i better grab the opportunity! the other reason is that the girl i'm hotelling with doesn't arrive til 11:50pm, and i can't check in since room is under her name. now i arrive at 11:42pm, so it's perfect--i don't have to wait at hotel by myself, and i'm $250 richer! yaya!! =)

on another note, i've been kinda "threatened" indirectly to not blog on my patients during my PA school experience for confidentiality reasons...so no more interesting stories. i'll respect that.

i'm on geriatrics rotation now, full of old peeps, friendly and talkative but very very slow. 1-2h for a physical exam! egad! oh well, we'll all become that one day...if we're lucky!

as for job search, i've got my first interview! it's in Peabody, MA, in a 9 physician/9 PA orthopedic group, about 15 min from where radu coaches badminton. so i have to drive there the monday after memorial day for the interview. i'm nervous, but happy! i also have a supposed phone interview with a "Bay Area Orthopedist" looking for a PA. he hasn't responded as to when the exact phone call will be, but i hope it turns out. he doesn't even tell me any info about his office, or where he is even located! but at least i got an email from his secretary saying that the doc wants to do a phone interview. maybe i'll get to see him in person when i go down to SJ again June 9-11. wish me luck either way! i can't believe i'm gonna graduate in 4 months and i'll have to work...boohooohoooo....there goes the end of my full-time student career!
