planning
So today I went to the dean's office to get the transfer sheet so I can take chemistry in the summer and to officially switch my major to dietetics. I have to go back tomorrow to get the approved form (if they approve it) and to ask if they will allow me to register for organic chemistry. If things go the right way and I don't fuck up fall semester I will be on track for my major and can take biochemistry in the spring of 2013. I'm trying not to spend a whole extra year here, I know for sure I'll spend an extra semester and that doesn't bother me. I probably will have to spend an extra year, most likely to boost my GPA to get a good dietetic internship.
Also I really need to start getting experience in the field. The more I have the more likely I can get an internship especially if my GPA is average. So I'm planning to work internationally as well as clinically. International work seems to be something very positive for internships, so I was told and I really do want to travel out of the country. We have this Nutrition Advocates club, but I think I'm going to put off applying for it until next year because I want to take more nutrition related courses. I'm not joining RHA even though it's been really fun and I love the people I had the pleasure of working with as well as planing and executing events but I really need to join nutrition related clubs. For networking purposes as well as getting to know the faculty and staff better. I think not getting the Res.Assistant job was one of the best things that happened to me because now I can focus full-time on my major. That being said if I'm taking orgo and biochem I really need to buckle down and focus and worry more about myself now. I haven't decided if I want to join the Healthy Dining Team yet....food service doesn't seem all that interesting to me but I definitively will finally start going to the Nutrition Club meetings.
I really hope things turn out for the best and that my plans don't totally fail this time. I really need to stop half-assing stuff and get my shit together.
Maternal and child nutrition seems to be what I'm interested in right now, so I should research more on that. Also eating disorders and therapy related to that seems interesting.
On one hand I am focus and have set goals and on the other hand I have no idea what the hell I am doing and am kinda lost. Lets just take this day by day and look to the future from time to time.
