There are only 6 more days until Eric gets here for Spring Break and I am SO excited. I just finished my first community rotation on Friday and I learned a lot. I have to go back on April 22 to the gym I was at and work at the health fair I helped plan. I am pretty excited for this because I did 4 weeks of work on it. This weekend I am trying to get the apartment cleaned and as much class work as I can before Friday.
I have been making a list of all of the things that Eric and I have to do while he visits. Next week on Saturday we get to go to the Rodeo and see Brad Paisley which I am so excited for. On Monday I start at the health department with WIC. I am hoping to learn a lot there and get good experiences. I already have my schedule for the whole 4 weeks I am there so it should be good.
Nothing else is new down here. It is warm one day and colder the next. Since Thursday it has been raining and it is supposed to rain the rest of the weekend. I have started studying for my big exam and I think the flash cards really are helping. Well back to work and studying. Miss and love everyone!

I love March
So the weather has been amazing lately. I say this and know that it could go back to rainy and 50 tomorrow. I know I have been slacking in the posting but since my last post a lot has been happening. My parents came two weeks ago to spend the weekend. We had so much fun. Obviously we did a lot of shopping and sightseeing. I got my first pair of cowboy boots and they are amazing. We went to some good places to eat and just spent time together. It was a great weekend.
Last weekend I was working all weekend and I ended up getting sick. That was miserable and I am hoping it is gone for good now. This weather going up and down kicked my butt. I am now at my first community rotation which is with a private consulting firm. I am working with a gymnastics center and helping them prepare a health and fitness fair in April. I also worked on another fair for an HR firm and that was pretty exciting. This is not my favorite rotation. I feel like I don't do as much and there isn't a lot of one on one work which I actually like because it is easy for me to learn from. One more week here and I get to move on. In April I will come back and volunteer at the fair the whole day which should be fun. This is great because it is an extra 10 hours I can claim.
March 12 I get to start at the Houston Department of Health and Human Services with WIC. I am actually looking forward to this. I think it will be a lot of fun and I will hopefully learn a lot about the community side of dietetics. There is another reason I am ready to start there...that is the week Eric comes to visit.
He will be here in 2 weeks for Spring Break and I am so excited. We already have a million things we want to do but the biggest one is the Rodeo. It is on St. Patrick's Day and we are seeing Brad Paisley. I am so excited. I am working extra hard these next two weeks to get all of my class work done so that when he gets here we can just spend time together and do all the fun things we have planned.
I also got my review flash cards for the big exam. There are over 600 and I am slowly starting to study. Hopefully by May I will know them all and can take the exit exam and be ready for the big exam when I am eligible.
I miss everyone back home but I'm in the home stretch. In 9 weeks I will be packing up to move back to Illinois. Miss and love everyone!
