Jobs, TV's, etc...

Thank you all for your sweet comments after my big disappointment! I truly do feel better about it all. I've already applied for two different research jobs for the summer and maybe next semester. One of my professors has just been SO sweet and supportive. She REALLY doesn't want me to give up. She's the one recommending all of the jobs for me, and putting in a good word.

Emerson's been a sweetheart too. I don't think he knows quite what to do with me and my glum-ness, haha. But he handles me well, and can usually cheer me up. I told him that I was just going to be a shut-in and never leave the house until I can regain some confidence. And he said, "Sweeite (yes I know...long story on the nickname), you can do whatever you want. I just want you to be happy. Go make more purses!". LOL...

And what cheers a girl up better than shopping? NOTHING... Em and I received part of our tax refund and immediately went out and spent all of it on two brand new flatscreen TV's, one for our living room and one for our bedroom. They are awesome, and we got a smokin' good deal! Most of you haven't been to our house and seen the TV's we had before, so you might not know how exciting this is for us! Our other TV that was lent down to us from E's parents (which we were more than grateful for), was about 15 years old and took up most of our living room! It's amazing what a new flatscreen can do for a soul...

Sorry I don't have any pictures of them, maybe I'll take some and post later.

Negative Nancy is making a comeback...

Hi All,

I just thought I'd inform you that I didn't get into an internship. I logged on last night to find the comment..."We regret to inform you that you were not matched into an internship...blah blah blah". So as of now, my negative nancy-ness is back. I'm giving myself a couple of days to 'grieve', if you will, then hopefully positive polly can make a comeback.

I'm trying to tell myself that the last two years were not a waste, but at this point, I feel like that is the case. Where do I go from here? Good question...I have no idea. Do I wait and reapply next year. Doubt it. So my dreams of becoming a Registered Dietitian (RD) seem to be gone with the wind. Also, most of my classmates didn't get an internship either...Really good candidates too! I think the RD world is a worse-off place without us. It's also very hard finishing out the semester knowing that all the hard work didn't pay off.

Sorry for the gloomy post. Check back in a week when Miss Positivity is back...

The latest...

My sister-in-law, Lindsey, sent me this pic on Monday of baby Otto...It was too cute not to post.


In other news...I find out on April 19th at 11:01pm if I got a dietetic internship or not. I have to log on to this website, where it tells me if I've been placed in an internship. I don't think they could make it anymore nerve-racking, right?! I think my finger will be shaking to much to press enter. Since everyone in all of my classes has applied to internships, and everyone finds out at the same time, April 20th at school is going to be SO AWKWARD...


So in life, I've decided that from now on, I'm going to try to be more positive. I've been such a negative Nancy lately, that I'm really starting to bother even myself. I'm posting this mostly as a reminder to myself. I have so much to be greatful for, I have no reason to be glum. God always has a plan...
