Dr. Hlavac, is currently my favorite person. She's the Family Medicine pathway director at Drexel and is the person who's job is to make sure I graduate. I called her, trying to figure out what my back-up options were if Drexel chose to take back my "pending approval" for Uganda and didn't give me the credits I needed to graduate. In a nutshell, the problem I was having with getting approval had to do with getting a signature from the right physician in Uganda, which has not been easy to do for a million reasons. After explaining to her the whole situation, she made some phone calls, sent some emails, and eventually I got this response:
"She
will need to tell us who is evaluating her ASAP. If this has to be
after she gets there so be it."
Which is a little sassy, but basically means I can at least go and get the signature myself when I meet the physician who will be evaluating me. It's not an official approval, but it buys me a little more time.
This is good news. Tomorrow is Match Day and I want to be able to enjoy it without wondering if I'm going to have to reject the job offer because I wouldn't graduate. Oh man, I'm so excited. In exactly 12 hours, I'll be sitting anxiously with all the people I've shared blood, sweat, and tears with, waiting to open the envelopes that tell us where we'll be working for the next few years. ::giddy dance::
