My name is Alicia. I was born in California, raised in Oklahoma,
and have lived in Rhode Island, Pittsburgh PA, Nevada, and California (again).
I am an HES major at the University of Oklahoma, and with any luck I’ll
graduate in December of this year. I currently hold my R.T. license which means
that I have completed the boards and am currently a registered radiologic technician,
which is essentially a fancy way of saying X-ray tech. After graduation I want
to pursue medical sales, or even go on to radiation therapy. If anyone knows
anyone in the medical device sales area, let me know! Along with taking 15
hours this semester, I have 2 jobs. I bartend at a place in Norman Oklahoma,
and a place up in Oklahoma City. I believe that I may soon have a third bar
tending job. Slightly unrelated, I’m about to start a “go-fund me” page for my
life. I’m kidding, but really. I have a boyfriend named Sam who just graduated
with an Engineering degree from OU this past May.
Sam, and Myself
He has two fur children,
which I have adopted as my own. They are both rescue dogs, and they are geniuses!
Sydney is a black German Shepard mix who can balance treats on her nose, and Serious
is an Australian Shepard who is 75 lbs. of goof and muscle. They are the best
dogs in the whole world. Sam and I are very passionate about pet adoption and saving
as many lives as possible (Adopt, don’t shop!). We also promote and donate to
various animal charities in the Oklahoma area. Another thing I am very
passionate about is the TV show Game of Thrones. It consumes my entire life,
and I am 100% ok with that. In my spare time, between class, work, and Game of
Thrones, I am currently re-reading the Harry Potter books. I also like naps,
petting my dogs, cooking, and watching creepy documentaries on Netflix with a
good box of wine.

Congratulations on getting ready to graduate, Alicia, and that sounds like a wonderful career field to go into. And that is so cool that you are a bartender...! People have done bartender-style storytelling projects in this class, but I don't think any of them were REAL bartenders. So maybe your bartending job can also turn into research for this class... you could maybe even invent a cocktail inspired by a story you read in here, ha ha. The world can never have too many creative cocktail recipes! Between bartending, wonderful dogs, Game of Thrones, and Harry Potter, I am guessing you will never run out of storytelling ideas! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia!
ReplyDeleteFirst i would like to say that your name is BEAUTIFUL! When I lived in Spain my host mom's name was Alicia! I have always loved the name!
Happy graduation! I am excited for you in your future endeavors! I am also pursuing a medical career! I think radiology is fascinating and it may be something I due will I wait to get into PA school! Where did you get your certification?
I am too LOVE dogs. I cannot wait to graduate and get my own. I do not get home sick, but I miss my dog the most! I have a black lab named Bella. In the future I want a Dalmatian! However, German Shepard's are a close second!
Hey Alicica!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about people who sound like they have their life put together, it's always so encouraging. Congrats on everything going on, I wish you luck for the future. I grew up in just one state my whole life, but I had always wished we had moved around more so I could see a bit more of the world. That's really cool.
