The BIG news of the week:
I have a summer research position!
I'll be a in the Emergency Medicine Department at University of Chicago working in a lab where they are researching cardiac arrest. I'll be working on designing a control system to control the internal pressure in a mouse while its blood is tested during different stages of cardiac arrest. It's very competitive to get into a research position there, I'll be one of twelve students, most of which are graduate students too! I'm getting a little nervous though, because I hope I can do the quality of work they are looking for, and I'll be leaving the security of the UG Admission office. It's going to be an intense summer. Part of the research program is also working with the team and doing article reviews with the other students. I'm hoping that this will help my critical reading skills, and that I'll be a cardiac arrest pro by the end of the summer. In my spare time... I'll be making phone calls for Admission, and studying for the MCAT. Yep, the dreaded test date is Aug. 5, 2008. It's worth it though, I just have to keep my eye on the goal, medical school.
Basically, in lyric form...
Looking forward to a busy summer,
New experiences,
Anything but bummer.
Research, phone calls, and the MCAT,
Maybe I should exercise?
So I don't get fat.
Med-school, med-school, focusing in,
I'm willing to work hard,
Getting in equals win.
So now you think I'm really lame,
No worries though,
Poetry isn't my claim...
Uff da,
Waha
