Wow, it is really hard to come to the realization that this
semester is only two more weeks from being over. In fact, I graduate in exactly
23 days! I can’t even believe that I will be graduating from the University of
Oklahoma with not one, but TWO degrees. This week has been a particularly
special week because I just got accepted into graduate school! I will be
pursing a masters in public health with an emphasis on biostatistics and
epidemiology. I will also be
attending medical school at Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am trying
to figure out now if I want to spend a year only working on a masters, or if I
should go ahead and start medical school and then do joint enrollment and take
one masters course per semester while in medical school and graduate with my
MPH and DO on the same day in 2019. Although it kind of makes my head hurt
thinking about it, I am also extremely excited for the future!
On the same topic of great news, my friend informed me of a
really great job opportunity this week! She just started working with United
Allergy Services as an Allergy Technician and she loves the job. The company is
based out of San Antonio, although they are located all over the country. They
require a bachelors degree and at least one year of experience in the medical
field, which I have! The start pay is really great and I am a phlebotomist so I
found out they may pay me even more. Needless to say, about two weeks ago I was
absolutely frightened about graduating, but I more excited than ever about my
future after undergrad. I will be
moving back to Ft. Worth, Texas a couple days after convocation and I couldn’t
be more excited!
