I'm pretty surprised that Prof. Neurology kept his word and got in touch with me a month later like he said he would. With so much on their plates I thought he'd completely forget about me. Luckily he didn't. He emailed me the day after yesterday to follow up. Now, I have an appointment at the Neurology Department at 3pm on the 16th! He mentioned that there is always a need for research volunteers (good), but there is also the opportunity for paid positions once they get NIH grants in place (better). This apparently happens in Sept.
My goal for that meeting is to secure a position (be it paid or not) in that department. It's definately something I would be interested in.
It's also important that I come up with a schedule of when to review my books. I know I said that I'll have more time to read because it is the summer, but after work, I'm exhausted! I can hardly move least of all read a genetics or organic book and comprehend it. I guess I'll have to wait until my project is over so I can turn my mind back to my reading.
Oh, I also recieved an email back from the local medical center. The guy at the volunteer services center told me that "they are capped" at the moment. Fine. If they're capped, they're capped. What can I do? On to the next.
More to come as it unfolds...
