After Shadowing: June 25th, 2022

Time Travelled — 3 months

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Ashley, Today I have completed the shadowing process for phlebotomy, and it sounds like you're going to be going through the ropes of all of the possible choices you have for your career. First thing's first, they need to do the final touches back stage. I am extremely scared, but I assume once you recieve this messaged you have hit a plateau already of the fear and stress of being new. Either that, or dreading your job due to fear and stress has become a usual for us. I am unsure when you're done with the ropes, but I at least assume you'll be more confortable by September. I'm sorry if not. I really hope you're doing okay, and I'm jealous of where you are now. I can't wait for this training to be over, and I'm finally back in a situation where I have some form of routine that I'm okay with again. May we both have a merciful time, and that we shall get the days off we desperately hope for. P.s Did you get a lunch box that you enjoy yet? The hospital cafe lunch is getting expensive and I know you shouldn't be using it all on that food you don't even like. Stop eating there like a elementary school kids with snacks haha. With so much love and respect, Past (and nervous) Ashley.

I'm really sorry I didn't get back to you soon enough.
If I am honest, I've been thinking of your letter often, and I never felt like I...
