Third day...check! So, technically the first week is over. Only 42 to go! Friday was nothing too much different from the other days of orientation. We had a tour of the Taubman Health Sciences Library, which was less than stellar as our "tour guide" seemed more tired than we were. I expressed that thought in my evaluation. 

Although the last day of orientation seemed bittersweet, it seems to signal that the real rotations are coming. One more week of administration classroom meetings and then foodservice - here I come!! We had lunch provided by PFANS (Patient Food and Nutrition Services), and it was amazing! Homemade pita chips and hummus, quinoa salad, wraps, fresh fruit, and a strawberry/whipped cream/sponge cake. After lunch, we had a lecture on how to use CBORD - which apparently was taught at some universities but was unknown to 7 out of 12 of us. 

Either way, to make a long week complete, I spur-of-the-moment decided to see Jordan in Mt. Pleasant. I left by 4:40pm, hoping to miss most of the westbound traffic and made it past most of it, but alas was caught and at a few points in time was going 0mph on the highway. My car didn't seem to mind the trip but I'm just hoping that my red wagon makes it just 42 more weeks. After I graduate on July 1st (yea, found out it's July 1st, not the 2nd!) and I get an entry-level position, a new car will be my first purchase. And much needed.

Snuggled back in the nook I love, I don't want to leave again. But I'm finishing what I started and I'm going to finish at the top!
