The Last Year

My senior year just commenced, and I can't believe I find myself on this part of the journey already. I feel excited and anxious, nervous about whether I will be able to pull off this semester with good grades and a worthwhile experience.

On top of 30+ hours of work at the hospital, I have got 4 classes, and a 10-15-hour internship per week at Ascend Alliance, a humanitarian, non-profit organization headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Ironically, I feel dubious, not about my abilities to time manage this semester, but about whether I will even have enough time to accomplish everything and have time to take a five-day vacation to San Diego and Las Vegas over fall break.

By semester's end, I will need to have accumulated at least 160 internship hours.

Furthermore, I hope to take finals early so that I can head to Malaysia for a three-week vacation, which means that I've got to complete my internship requirements within a very compressed amount of time.
