This week I discovered what I would rather not do in dietetics. For 8 hours each day I was either on the computer, sitting in on a phone conference call, sitting in on a meeting, or eating lunch. My preceptor gave me plenty of projects to work on each day so I was very busy and the days went fast. I spent one entire day creating and revising 'Other Food Choices' menus for nine different diets. Throughout the week I evaluated new recipes for nutritional compliances, evaluated recipes for accuracy and made sure they were being sold at the proper price, analyzed recipes for nutritional content, and processed purchase orders and invoices. They were all great experiences and I learned a lot, but I don't see myself sitting in an office in front of a computer all day. My mind just can't grasp interfaces, computer systems, and how one program somehow talks to another program....too much.
On Tuesday I met one of the interns, Amberlee, at a Girls Night Out event held at the Village Country Club where we both live. We got a free bag of goodies, a yummy sandwich, pizza, and Pinkberry frozen yogurt. There was also a waxing station. I thought I would give it a try...yeah, it hurt! I screamed a little.
On Saturday I babysat for my internship director's three-year-old twins. We had lots of fun! We watched Ice Age, drew pictures, built forts in closets, walked to the park, and played hide and seek. When I left I got two hugs, a regular kiss on the cheek from one twin, and a cow kiss from the other twin. FYI a cow kiss is when you get your cheek LICKED! He was eating a muffin right before this happened so I was also lucky enough to also get lemon poppy seed muffin smeared on my face.
I will have to try a cow kiss on nancy
