Midterms and Such

Like many people last week, I didn't volunteer due to midterms and papers, but I decided to reflect on my experience thus far. Volunteering at SJC hasn't been what I expected coming into it. I haven't had a chance to shadow a physician or have any patient contact at all, but that is understandable since most of the doctors aren't on site on Wednesdays, and many of the patients can only speak Spanish. Therefore, I've decided to take Business Spanish in the fall to help me bridge that communication gap. There's supposed to be a Spanish class particular to the health care field, but I think they offer that in the spring. In the meantime, I'm content with desk duty. Sam seems to have worked hard to come up with projects for me, and I really appreciate her effort.
