Hi. My name is Chad and this is the official first post of the MandC blog. Melissa and I have created this page as a way for us to keep our family, friends, supports and everyone in between up to date with our progress towards reaching our 2011 goal. Along with our progress, we also plan on keeping you up to date with our day to day shenanigans and whatever else we feel like telling the world.
Before I get too carried away, let me explain our 2011 goal. Melissa and I are students here at the Oregon Institute of Technology and we are both working towards completing a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Radiologic Technologies. The culmination of our curriculum is a 12 month long externship at a functioning hospital. Although the school has gone to great lengths to secure student positions at various locations across the western United States, there is currently no overseas locations. Melissa and I are passionate about travel and quickly decided (before even being accepted into the Radiology program) that we would explore an overseas option for ourselves. After a few years, and countless e-mails and letters to various facilities around the world, we found a trauma-1 hospital that is willing to accept us for the 12 months. We are beginning our Junior year at OIT and the clock is ticking; we have only nine months to get everything ironed out. The excitement is palpable! So here we are, our new year begins on Monday the 27th and we couldn't be more excited. Keep coming back to see how things unfold from here.
Thanks
