Hiatus

I haven't been able to volunteer for the past two weeks because I was out of town during Spring Break and had to leave for the Tri-Beta regional conference last Friday. Unfortunately, San Jose is closed for Easter break this Friday, but hopefully I will be able to volunteer on Wednesday afternoon.

In other news, the Tri-Beta regional conference went really well. The drive up there took 6 hours during Friday rush hour in Houston and Dallas but only 4 1/2 hours coming back. Shh, I tend to speed...

I gave my chapter presentation on the activities of the Nu Beta Chapter at UST for the past year. Going in, I had only heard that many other small schools were avidly involved in Tri-Beta, so I thought every other chapter would blow us out of the water. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that we're one of the most active and productive chapters.

April is going to be one incredibly hectic month, so we'll see how much time I have to actually volunteer and blog. One thing that has been on my mind is how San Jose Clinic is reacting to all the health care reform going on. Typically, negative reactions have come from the right-winged, upper classes. San Jose Clinic though caters to the uninsured and low-income patients, so I was curious as to whether they are having a very positive reaction to the extension of coverage to roughly 32 million more Americans and the penalties involved for not having health insurance. I'll have to ask Sam about this next time I see her.
