Oh hey, heat.

Goodness gracious it's super hot outside.


And, it doesn't help that I don't have air conditioning in my car. 


But, it does help that I'm back at the hospital this week and they have air conditioning there. This week I'm in the Nutrition Counseling Center working with two different RD's in two different areas. One of them works mainly with initiating and following-up with kids who are on the ketogenic diet. The other RD works mainly with patients who have ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. 


Today I worked with the RD who works with kids on the ketogenic diet. Unfortunately she pretty much has no patients this week which makes me kind of frustrated. So I'm just working with some of their nutrition programs and reading up on the ketogenic diet. If you don't remember, I also worked with a ketogenic patient my first week ever of the clinical rotation. So, luckily I've at least had some background experience with what goes on and what the diet is like. But...I'm afraid no patient interaction this week. Boo.


Tomorrow I'm working with the woman who has ALS patients. I've never worked with this patient population so I'm very excited. I'm hoping to at least have some experience with working with the patients this week, or be able to sit in on a counseling session.


Otherwise, it was SO NICE to have a three day weekend. It reminded me of the summers I used to have when I was in school. No more of those now, though! It's into the working world for me.


Speaking of working world, remember the job interview that I went on? Well, they contacted me for a second interview, but I actually turned it down. The job would be for a federal health program and making house calls to people who are using the program. While it would be a job, it's not what I want to do. I really enjoy the clinical realm and I believe that there is another job out there that will lead me to my professional goals. And anywho, I have my temporary position at U of M for the summer...yipee! It's crazy where the last 9 months have put me, I'm excited to see where the next month goes and then after that, the next 3.


30 days left...yayy!!
