I'm not actually hired, but I just got a message that there's an opening or two at one of the hospitals I applied to (the one furthest away - go figure), and my application/resume was apparently decent enough that I got invited out for an interview. So suddenly, the odds of me getting work as a medical scribe have shot up from fairly dim to pretty high, as long as I show for the interview in a respectable manner.
I'm actually not sure /how/ to show up though. If it was an interview back in law school, I'd certainly show up in one of my suits. But for some reason it doesn't feel as natural to be showing up for an interview for a fairly bottom tier hospital position in a fancy suit. I'll have to think a bit about what I want to wear... For now though, I think I should just be happy enough I made it this far. We'll see what happens from here.
As far as actual MCAT studying, that's going a bit behind schedule. No need to panic yet, since there's plenty of time to correct it, but it is something I should get to work on correcting. If I get the job, that should help focus me some as I won't get to be sleeping in anymore. If I don't get it, I'll just have to start setting my alarm for the sake of setting my alarm.

Medical Scribe, Take Two
All right then. I spent the last three days working on my application for the job as a medical scribe, which is a bit more time than I spent working on it last year when I tried. Of interest I calculated my post-grad science GPA for the application, and its a 3.63. Not great, but not awful if I can do ok on the MCAT.
I've offered to work at almost every available hospital they have, up to and including the ones with 60 minute commutes. I'll probably hate myself if I get the job and end up there.... (one of those far away hospitals looks very nice and new though, from its website).
It seems like an interesting job at any rate. And I can manage the commute if it stays part time. I enjoy driving, so I have that going for me. My only concern is putting too many miles on my car and having it start to break down early. I could always possibly get lucky and manage to get a job at one of the closer hospitals. Then again, it's always possible I won't get a job at any of the hospitals just like last time. We'll just have to wait and see.
And it looks like we have a bit of a wait, since nothing is supposed to open up until June or July. So until beginning tomorrow morning, I'm officially in full MCAT mode with no other commitments to distract me. Physics, here we come. (Bet you can't keep me down twice!)
