Physical... and other forms

We have to get physicals done before we go abroad, so I called up my doctor's office today to schedule an appointment. Usually, I can get an appointment the day I call in, but he was unusually busy this week. So, I called, but apparently, he was booked for physicals 'til the end of June. Great. My physical form is due on June 2nd... so there was no way I could wait that long. The lady I talked to was a bit rude and kept telling me there was no way she could fit me into my physician's schedule. I was going to get mean, but I had to go back to Finance 121... so I said I'd call back.

While I was driving home from school, I thought of so many ways to reprimand the girl... and was excited to get home and call the office again (that sounds evil, doesn't it?) =P

Fast forward to twenty minutes ago--I called the office and a guy picked up this time. He was a lot nicer and more willing to help me get an appointment. He told me that the office is only allowed to schedule 9 physicals a week (beats me why), and that the earliest I could get scheduled was July 1st. I told him my situation, and he fit me in for next Wednesday, at 8 AM -___-. Granted, it's a bit early, but I guess I should have gotten my physical done when I first found out about it. But he said I would have to do bloodwork for them... and I'm not allowed to eat or drink anything after 12 AM (!??!). I've had tons of physicals before (for high school basketball), and none of them involved bloodwork. So...... I guess going out of the country is different.

Anywho, other than that, I turned in my course approval and my academic advising for studying abroad. Just two in a million forms I have to fill out. I just want to skip to the part where I'm in Shanghai already. The whole process is so tedious, and quite honestly, a real turnoff to the whole studying abroad experience.

I'll update later after I get my physical done =)
