Hi everyone!
Well, I've got one week under my belt! It was most definitely tiring but very fun. We started out the week with a pizza party that included the director of the internship, the food service management preceptor, and the other interns. We all introduced ourselves and ate the BEST ice cream cake I have ever had in my life! It was coffee flavored and had a yummy chocolate crust.
The rest of the week, we reviewed the case studies that we needed to prepare before the internship, went over the projects that will need to be completed throughout the year, had various dietitians come into speak, and toured the Fargo/Moorhead area (or "Margo" as my roomies and I like to call it) and Concordia. There were also a lot of opportunities for us interns to get to know one another. The day before our tour of "Margo", all of us interns decided that it would be fun to take a stop at the infamous Dairy Queen in Moorhead. This Dairy Queen is a big deal because it is only open for business in the summertime. We also got to go to a local homeless shelter to serve the evening meal. These were both great bonding experiences...we all got to know each other pretty well! We most definitely have a wide variety in terms of personalities and interests and I love it! I can tell that these girls are going to be such a great support system for me this year.
Right now, I'm just taking advantage of this free time before my clinical rotation starts in a little over a week. I've been hanging out with my roommates and getting to know them as well as the other interns. I know that this year is going to be busy, but I'm trying not to worry about it too much. Yes, the internship will require a lot of my time and attention, but I know that it will be an experience of a lifetime. As I mentioned in a previous post, it is best to focus on the here and now rather than stress out about the future...that will take care of itself!
Love from Margo,
Katie
