I’m quite enjoying my co-op term so far. The people I work with are very pleasant and helpful, for the most part. I feel as if I’m actually really learning something and contributing to a “cause”. I get to interact with doctors and patients on a weekly basis, but most of the time I’m at my desk doing work. A lot of it is admin type work, but it’s okay.
Working at this job has made me think a lot about life and death. The patients I am interviewing are all terminally ill, and yet the ones I’ve interviewed with thus far have an amazingly positive outlook on life. They’re not really going through Elisabeth Kübler-Ross stages of grieving. My dad has also been reminding me of how short life is…how each day is really a “bonus”, and a blessing. It’s funny how the things you care about change when you think about how insignificant they are in the “big picture” of things.
Anyways, back to work.
