And the Work Begins...

So I would have updated earlier but I had no internet from the time I got off work Friday until Monday when I got home. It was an AMAZING weekend. Christa was here all weekend and we had so much fun. Friday was pretty much just Walmart and Target shopping for things we really didn't need. Then we got up on Saturday and went to the Galleria all day. We shopped for close to five hours and got some great deals. We then went out to dinner and ate WAY too much but it was so good. On Sunday I dropped her off at the airport early.

Sunday was my first day of my new part-time job. I am a host at BJ's Brewhouse and I was pretty nervous. My first two days went pretty well. I learned how to seat and greet people. Today will be my last day of training and then I start really working next Monday. The thing I have noticed is seeing food all the time makes me hungry and everything always looks so good.

Yesterday was also my first day at the Houston Independent School District. This rotation is very different than my last one. I have been in the office both days so far and I am excited to get back into the schools. Tomorrow I will be in a elementary school all day helping with meal service and then a middle school on Thursday for the same thing. Friday is the best day because my mom is coming to visit and I arranged my day so I could get off early and pick her up from the airport.

Next week me and the three other interns get to go to one of the elementary schools and teach the preschool through fifth grade students in their PE classes about nutrition. I am excited to get out in to the schools and interact directly with the students.

This rotation is my last food service rotation and I will be there for four weeks. Halloween will be my first day in my clinical rotations. There are three of these and they are all at the same place for me. Thinking about everything is making me realize this internship will be over before I know it. It has so far been a great experience and I am learning so many things from both the internship and everyone I have met.
