As some of you know (and share my pain like you, Megan), I have been super busy and stressed out applying to internships and the masters program. But at the same time excited to graduate!! I am studying Dietetics and in order to be a Registered Dietitian we have to work an internship for a year after graduating and then take an exam. Soooo... since I am graduating this May (wooo!!), I am applying for those internships right now. I'm trying for the ASU Nutrition Masters too just incase which also includes an internship. It's a strange process because it is very very competitive and you are selected based on a "matching/ranking system". I rank the places I would like to go (after filling out tons of applications, writing papers, etc) and then they rank you how they like you and then the computer matches you up if the ranking # is the same. Very confusing, I barely understand!! So what sucks is that you could be well qualified and they liked you, but if you did not match right you didnt make it in :-( Luckily the Masters is not set up like that so theres a better chance of getting in.
I'll be applying to an internship here in AZ, then San Diego, San Francisco, and Madison, WI. If nothing works out for me this semester then I'll have to try again next time :-( But cross your fingers for me!! So if I do get into an out of state one, Brandon and I would be leaving this summer for about a year. Here's a silly little picture I found...you might understand it more if you are a nutrition student though!

Good luck and congrats on all your hard work! Its great that you are graduating so soon! I hope one of those internships works out. Preferrably in AZ. :) And then maybe you could end up in CA when Chris and I move there. ;)
