I did it. I made it through one full work week at my big girl job. Even better than surviving it, I LOVED IT!! I have been a student there for the past 5 months but to be a real Speech-Language Pathologist and working there is even better. The only thing that would've made my first work of week better is if Friday was pay day :)
I was warmly welcomed with pastries from Community Bakery and some celebration signs on my office door and desk. I even got an ACH beach bag filled with a clipboard, post-its, and other official-ish supplies I may need. I have the best co-workers ever.
Now don't get me wrong, It wasn't all peachy and easy. I had several moments of "I have no idea what I'm doing" throughout the week. I know that should be expected and I cant know everything on DAY 1 but it's still a scary thought. I have a LOT to learn but lucky for me I have lots of wise and brilliant SLP's to teach me everything they know. I just got really excited when I changed my "employer/job" section of my facebook profile and got to put Speech-Language Pathologist. Not student. Student no more and never again!
Now if only that first paycheck will get here soon...
