Juneau

After three months of the Juneau hospital refusing to give my adviser a solid answer on whether or not they can take on a student, they finally confirmed that yes, I can complete part of my practicum there.

As of late May, I will be heading to Juneau for the entire summer!  I am incredibly excited; Juneau is absolutely beautiful in the summer, and my favorite family members live there. The landscape is absolutely breathtaking, with a glacier, rain forest, and endless hiking. From what I hear, the lab is a little quiet, but hopefully I will get more experience with a busier lab setting when I return in the fall. A quiet lab may give me time to study and learn new aspects about medical lab science.

One thing I need to do is go back to the Treadwell Mine ruins and take pictures. The old buildings make for some amazing photo ops.
