My official start date for my new job is Friday.
I had a good night’s sleep last night.
I’m off from work for the next two days!
I was offered a job today! It’s with a company that collects tissues from dead donors for transplantation. I’ll be collecting corneas from donors in hospitals and morgues for transplantation in the blind. I’m really excited because it’ll be a great way to supplemant my income and will look great on my application for PA school.
My friend and I are planning a trip to Puerto Rico this summer.
