Got my Polio Booster today! 

Turns out, after looking at my immunization records, I'd already had MMR, so no need to get it again.  However, for Polio, my doctor's office didn't have it since it's not one that is ever needed for adults.  They told me to call the health department, but my mom thought my pediatrician may have them. So I called there, easier and closer than the health department, but it turns out she is out of down and they would have to talk to her before giving me one since she's no longer my doctor.  Next, I call the health department, they say yes they have them, but can't give it to me until June.  WHAT!? I ask "just for a shot? until June? for a shot" "yep."  doesn't that seem ridiculous?  So I called Deaconess Urgent Care and they said that I could just walk in anytime to receive the shot.

I got off the phone, gathered up the copy of my immunization record and my PC form and went and got my Polio shot! Yay.

(while I was up on 1st Ave, I drove by my counselors building, and it looks like the whole building is shut down, I was going to go in and see if I could find her)

And We're Off!

I received my IU transcript today! I didn't get it until 3:30 and I was on a big time schedule to get to the doctors office by 4:30.  Naturally, when I rushed to the closest post office I think "phew there are only 2 people in front of me." Bah. Each of them had like 20 envelopes to be mailed off!!!! So I had to wait forever and some. But it's official, my legal packet, skills worksheet, and transcripts are off to the Chicago recruiting office.

As for that doctor's visit, it was for a shot. My two younger sisters (16 & 21) both have had it. The youngest said it hurt a whole lot, like the worst shot.  The other had it yesterday, and absolutely freaked out because she said it hurt so bad. She said it burned her and then her arm was numb-ish and hurt so bad she couldn't even lift it, she accidentally bumped into the wall and yelped out in pain. I don't know what their issue is, but I have concluded they are pansies. It didn't hurt in the very least, not even the needle.  I was trying to see if I missed something, so I even smacked the area with my hand--no pain.

Moral of the story? I'm awesome and my sisters are pansies.

Can't wait to hear from my recruiter, better finish working on devising rough answers for the interview questions.
