Well today is the day before my first day of my internship and I am nervous. This is truly the first step I have ever taken towards my real goal of my career. All the other jobs were just jobs. They never had anything to do with what I have really wanted to do for so long. Tomorrow I will start my internship with a state agency as an intern in the medical legal department.
I have no idea what to expect and I am clueless as to what they expect. I guess I should have cleared that up during the interview. I would have if I hadn't been so taken back by her first true question. We will call her boss lady. She asked "Hey do you want to see a dead body"? Well had could I resist. It was going to be my first autopsy. I was in my new suit all dressed and only one more place to go. I went to the autopsy room and saw a gun shot victim laying naked on the slab ready for the autopsy. It was amazing. I was in awe and terrified at the same time. I knew this was a test and I wondered if I would pass. I secretly hoped I would not throw up. As the autopsy progressed the man became less and less human. He was no longer recognizable as a grotesque body, but just quickly became something of a science exhibit. It was real but not so much. There were gross moments, but it could have been worse. The damage to the body was minimal so it was not that bad. I have no doubt there will be grosser things to come. (Still secretly excited about that). Anyways I start tomorrow at 9 am and I don't even know if I have the acceptable outfit. I do know I have to wear ugly shoes otherwise it wouldn't be a government job. :)
More to come!!!
