snow day!

i had the pleasure of waking up at 10am this morning... snow day! :o) i was so relieved. i desperately needed a snow day! i was supposed to have a spanish test today, that i was not at all ready for... so the extra day off is a huge blessing. i've been studying, and taking it easy, and working on longer-term projects for school to get ahead, and getting my cleveland clinic internship application all together.

i'm applying to a cleveland clinic internship for this summer. it's super competitive and intense... so we have no idea whether i'll even get accepted! but... i'm applying. it's an intense program, if accepted. 40 hours a week. 9 weeks. no vacation/ill days. but it would be an amazing experience. you work alongside some of the best doctors and scientists in the country, get assigned to a project, research it, experiment, follow doctors around, observe surgeries, meet patients, make rounds with the doctors... it would be incredible. but the application is extreme. i have completed the huge "student application" portion and submitted it online... and i have my parent, science teacher, guidance counselor, and volunteer site organizer recommendations completed. and i have the copies of my ohio temporary license, social security card, immunization record, science fair project, resume, all those copies completed. i just have to get them all into envelopes... and write my cover letter! and then we mail it off! the applications are due on february 6. so it's exciting! but so overwhelming, at the same time!

hope you clevelanders are enjoying the snow! i'm loving my snow day!
