Beef..... it's what's for dinner.
I had my interview Wednesday. It went so-so. So I thought. 10 people applied and were interviewed, and only 2 slots were available. My heart sank when I found that last part out. YOu know, I'm not exactly a physically strong person.
BUT! apparently I was a match for the position! So I got the job! I got the job! I got the job! It's actually a 2-year paid internship with full government benefits! I start after I get my Bachelors of Science this summer. Afterward it will eventually be an "off-the charts" career with them!!
I just got the email today saying I was selected. My eyes filled with tears when I read it, then I jumped out of my seat and called my parents.
For the first part of the interview they made me watch a 5 minute video on what goes on inside a slaughter plant. It was so gruesome. But when it comes to blood and gore, I have a tough stomach.
Yesterday in my repro lab, we went out to a beef field to palpate cattle. It was my first time ever sticking my entire arm inside the rectum of anything! But it was fun. I got to feel a pregnant cow's fetus, the reproductive tract, the rumen (one of 4 "stomachs" that cattle have), and it was fun stuff. Such a wonderful hands-on learning experience Cal Poly has had to offer me.
