So yeah

Another rotation down… A bunch more to go! I completed my Rehabilitation rotation last week. Although it wasn’t my first rotation, it was the first time I’d done clinical-type work in years. I forgot how much paperwork is involved!
 But I’m relieved that I remembered most of what I learned in class. My preceptor was an RD that I’ve known since my days as a diet tech student, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. To the RDs who have the patience to teach little interns like me: THANK YOU.

 I’ve been waiting for what’s going to happen in the next 5 months (my final round of rotations) for almost a decade. Yes, a decade. Better late than never, right? (More on my never-ending journey to RD-ism in a later post.) I don’t know if this happens to any of you, but when I’m stressed out or trying to concentrate on something, I hold my breath without realizing I’m doing it.

 As you can imagine, a lack of oxygen to the brain isn’t a good thing when you’re treating patients, so I’m trying to remind myself to breathe. Juuuuust breeeaaaathe. In other news, I took a very important, big, huge trip last weekend! I visited the place where Steeler dreams come true: Heinz Field. the view from our hotel room It was my first time in Pittsburgh and my first visit to Heinz Field.

 It was everything I imagined it would be. the view from my seat at the very top of Heinz Field The best part of the trip was seeing how excited everyone was about the Steelers. They wore Steelers gear even when it wasn’t game day (you do not see this in Miami). I guess that’s what happens when your team wins a bunch of Super Bowls. The only disappointment of the trip was our visit to Primanti Bros. I got the “cheesesteak”, which consisted of some sort of patty, fries, and too much coleslaw.

 The cheese was nowhere to be seen and the sandwich tasted like water. Maybe I’m just not a sandwich person? mehh Pittsburgh was definitely the breather (breeeaather) I needed to get back into internship prep mode. I have a break in-between rotations, so I’m using this time to work on pre-assignments, blog, and to freak out about my final rotations. keeping cool and not freaking outAlmost done!
