My most recent week long class that ended was my Nutrition Assessment. This included a test that reviewed all of my MNT [Medical Nutrition Therapy]. Medical Nutrition Therapy, in my opinion, is the heart of clinical nutrition. It is also not my strong suit. This adds to my anxiety on performing well during my clinical rotation. Thankfully, I passed the test and can continue on with my academia and start clinicals [not passing the test would have required I stay an additional semester and push back my clinical experience].
I've also completed my Sports Nutrition course and Pediatric/Prenatal Nutrition. Unfortunately, I would have enjoyed those classes as semester long experiences but you can't be choosy when you finish your masters in a year.
The Diabetes camp was a great experience. Unlike most of the rotation sites we do we were all together. 8 girls that have spent the past six months getting to know each other really well and you've got a recipe for? Laughter. And laughing really is the best.
On the way back from the Diabetes after I napped and as I was lounging in the "mom van" I felt an overwhelming sense of the present moment. This is what movie makers strive to evoke in people as they watch movies. Life, living. Let me paint you the picture.
The air doesn't work so the windows are rolled down and the breeze is whipping through your hair. Sweat is rolling down your back but you've become accustomed to far worse heat in the past week so the breeze ruffling through your shirt sleeve is like heaven. The moon is half full and shining in the window and not a cloud is in sight. People are talking in the front seat but their words are indistinguishable between the whipping wind and the music on the radio. The country music is playing and all you can think is "summertime." Your skin is tanned from playing at the pool and running around outside. You're exhausted but in the best way possible. This my friend is perfection...pure perfection. A lazy drive in the summertime.
Enjoy your summertime. No, really, enjoy it. Don't just live in it, love it. Embrace the moment. I'm thinking this may be one of my last lazy sort of summers. So please, enjoy every minute you've got.
