Beginning

Hello all-

I had every intention of creating a video blog aka vlog on youtube to post all the happenings of my life while in Oklahoma City, but alas, I have yet to choose a camcorder I like, one with a reasonable price for a budget I do not have.

I'm hoping to get something on here once a week once I get in the swing of things, however I am not making promises. I always seem to start out things so well only to find them crashing and burning. That would explain why when I want to do things I want to complete them then and there; something I am sure my mother finds completely aggravating.

Anyway, as most of you know [and why wouldn't you if you are reading this] I am heading to Oklahoma for my internship/masters during 2010. It was one of my higher choices [out of the 8 locations I applied for with the America Dietetic Association] being that it was inexpensive, a masters in a year, and a completely different adventure than any I'd undergone on my own.

At the moment I am researching apartments, getting my FAFSA and graduate loans in order, buying everything I didn't need to get while living in dorms all four years at college, and freaking out over the mass amount of stuff I will be doing without a single family member in a 14 hour radius, and praying that I'll be heading in the right direction with my life.

As of December 5th, Dad and I will be heading to OKC to get things started and return on December 8th [hopefully with everything on my list done].

My orientation is on January 8th and my first day of rotations starts on January 11th. [FREAK OUT the night before]. Since my lovely family will be out of town for some time during the month of January I will begin this adventure very scared and very alone. In the meantime I keep telling myself this is an awfully big adventure, one that I will be proud to have taken come January of 2011. Where I'll be then, no ones knows. One step at a time is all I can think to keep myself calm.

More later...
