Happy Easter!

Easter holiday is almost coming to an end.  It's sad to say that I worked for three out of the 4-day weekend.  The only positive thing is that I don't have to stay home when my grandparents are playing mahjong because when they do play, dinner's basically has the lowest priority.

I finished up editing the database that I was working on at the hospital this morning.  Now, I officially completed all my tasks for this placement.  I'm kinda anticipating for school to start, but not for the massive course load that I'm taking of course.  Hopefully I get a job at the hospital again for my next co-op term, and build my experience before I apply to UT.

I'm BACK!

Wow, it's almost been 4 months since I updated this blog.  Finding a co-op placement was stressing me out and I totally forgot about this blog until I completed my last day of work.

I had the opportunity to work at Toronto General Hospital at the Department of Clinical Biochemistry.  Although  it is a volunteer placement, it was a worthy position.  I gained a lot of experience and knowledge through the last 4 months.  I had the opportunity to attend meetings and develop a database for the biochemist to use for their calls.  It allowed me to see different careers within the hospital.  Now I kinda have a goal to work towards and hopefully, I'll be successful some day in the future.
