New Leaf

I really wanted to get more involved and have more responsibility at SHM. Whether that came in the form of assisting Wendy more, owning the Fellows applications or something completely different. It's sort of hard for me to pin point what my work will be - though I know the workload will definitely change from what it was last month to what I am working on now.

Miscommunication

During the MA check-in lunch, I was asked what I would like to experience while I was still here. I began speaking and then was quickly cut-off and assigned a task that had nothing to do with what I really wanted. The next Monday I had to lead the M&M Weekly Meeting with a stomach full of butterflies and shaking knees. I'm not saying the discomforting assignment wasn't a good learning experience. I'm just trying to say if I was listened to I might have been doing something with Kat in graphic design instead.

I love cookies

And i get to write somecontent for the website in Jan.

New Task

Last week I had a Q.I. team meeting and Wendy had mentioned to the team and myself if I would like to join my team in on their call logs they have with their Mentors. These calls are about updates on medicine, applications, and anything new with their orginizations. Every call has different topics to discuss about each time.

My first call to listen in/ take notes on will be on January 6th!

Instead of sitting at my desk, doing work on the computer all day long, this is finally something different that interests me and I will get to learn new things.

Last week we had another check-in lunch. What is the one thing you talked about wanting to work more on this month?

Puja - what is something that interests you and you would like to be more involved with during your co-op?

Vacation

Last spring break I went to visit my mom in Hawaii for a week. I drove her car, ate her food, surfed every day and sky dived. This picture is a view of Waikiki after hiking up Diamond head. It would've been better if I brought a friend - any volunteers?

Ideally, this year I would be in Monte Carlo when the seasons change. Why? Yachting, gambling, Formula 1 racing, palaces...ahhh paradise
