My Future

Last night I attended the annual ACHCA/CHASE/HCAD Banquet (for those in the Health Care Administration field). I had more fun than I thought I would. I was able to catch up with some of my HCAD friends who I don't see at all because I am not in any HCAD classes this semester (per se) but more importantly, I was able to talk with several people about my future practicum. I am hoping to work at Three Oaks with Bridget as my preceptor. Three Oaks is ran by Golden Living. I talked to Bridget last night about my interest as well as the current student who is in her practicum there currently, Amanda. I told Amanda I would send her an email to set up a time for a tour and to set up some volunteering. I just spoke with her last night at the banquet, is it okay to email her already today? Or, should I wait until next week sometime? Any suggestions? I thought there was an unwritten rule on that, but I'm not certain.
I'm excited for this change of scenery (although it is still a year away). I didn't realize we start applying so soon (deadline for interviews is September). Anyway, that was the highlight of my day yesterday (and probably the highlight of my week). I just really love the career I am pursuing and cannot wait to be able to work more in the field.

Also, what is the deal with this weather? I realize I live in Wisconsin and it maybe shouldn't have been a surprise, but seriously... where is spring? The only convenient thing about it being terrible out is that yesterday I had a reason to wear my ADORABLE new winter coat that I bought on clearance at Target for only $13!!!! :)
