The End of Biochemistry!

The end of Biochemistry is in sight!  I hope to be able to write more frequently once I finish my final exam on Friday.  Woohoo!  In addition to the studying I've been trying to do, I've been working quite a few hours at Sendik's (Bayside, for anyone in the Milwaukee Area who'd like to come visit me -- it's on the corner of Port Washington and Brown Deer Roads), and trying to get my application for nursing clinical finalized in order to turn it in (also on Friday).

If accepted, I will begin my clinical training full-time in January.  I'm supposed to write about a time I had to work as part of a team.  I am to describe my role on the team and any challenges I faced.  I feel like this should be an easy thing to do.  It is proving quite difficult.  In the world of education, it seems collaborating is so much of what we do -- I find it nearly impossible to pick just one scenario.  Also, there were many projects that I was in charge of with students -- but I think that put me more in the role of leader/facilitator, and I think the committee would prefer that I speak of a team of my peers.  It has occurred to me that I could also draw on my experience as and EMT, which might be more applicable in this situation.  So...if any of you out there worked with me as a part of your team on ANYTHING and would like to throw out a suggestion to trigger my memory, I'd be eternally grateful.  Right now everything is kind of lumped together and I just don't know where to begin!

Finally, some fertility news (don't get too excited, it's not much)!  We went in earlier this week for the baseline ultrasound.  Everything looked good, and we're still on track to do the frozen embryo transfer at the end of this month (yippee!).  I am currently taking Estradiol in varying amounts per the doctors orders.  This is supposed to mimic the body's natural preparations and should help with a positive implantation (or implantations?!) come time for the transfer.  I haven't let it sink in that we could end up with multiples quite yet -- whoever we get will be who we were meant to get!  Next ultrasound is scheduled for next week Wednesday...

Hope you are enjoying the week -- we're loving the weather today!
