Good-Bye, Gurnick!

Today I took a trip to Concord to drop off my books and uniforms to Gurnick. I swear it must've been 40 pounds of textbooks! As always, there was no one manning the receptionists desk- I probably waited almost five minutes, before someone finally arrived. I explained that I was retracting my acceptance to their rad tech program. I was armed with a letter of withdrawal. The receptionist went to the back offices to speak with Anna, who was apparently at lunch at 4PM and didn't want to speak to me. She told me just to leave the books and that's all I needed to do. I asked if she might be able to provide me with a sign-off sheet or something recording the event that I actually dropped off the books. She went to the back, again, to talk with Anna. She showed up a minute later informing me that the main Gurnick campus, in San Mateo, will be mailing me a letter within thirty days to finalize things. I mentioned that I was a little nervous about just leaving the books and that I was thinking of taking a picture as proof, but I didn't end up doing that.

Later that night, I realized that between all the back and forth communication and confusion that I had forgotten to drop off the issued uniforms. Shit! Do I really have to go back? But then again, when I was originally issued the books and scrubs during the "orientation" meeting, I never actually checked anything out! I guess they're pretty loose about things around there. Maybe they won't notice that I didn't drop off the scrubs? I dunno.
