Finals Week

This week marks the start of finals! 5 all together. Today was the first final, the second one is on Wednesday and the last three are next week. Thankfully today was the most stressful one so now things for Ross will be a little bit easier. Still hard none the less but at least the stress level should reduce some. And then after the finals are finished, summer classes start the following week along with volunteering at various public interest centers.

This week also marks the second week at my new job. I'm still getting into the swing of things and still learning all the responsibilities I will have. After the first week, I learned that my job entails making sure any and all changes that are made follow both domestic and international regulations. On my first day, I got a tour of the entire company which includes offices as well as a manufacturing facility. This company manufactures medical devices used in cardiac surgery. Once they are made, the devices are packaged and shipped out to various distributors. I will also be working with the distributors. When these distributors, both domestic and international, contact us wanting to create a contract to do business, I make sure all the paperwork is legalized in the US to where it is recognizable and legal in these other countries. As of right now there are over 30 countries and just within the last week I was given 5 new ones that will need documents researched and legalized. I think this job is going to keep me very busy and I am going to learn a lot. A huge change from the call center atmosphere that's for sure!
