Best Month Ever.

Man, what a whirlwind the past 3 weeks has been! You know that VH1 “Best Week Ever” show? Well, this has basically been my best month ever. I have been on SO many fun trips! If you’re new to the blog (and wondering if I ever do anything besides travel and play), I’ve been on vacation the past 3 weeks after a busy summer of class and my first dietetic internship. I’m in school at UNC-Chapel Hill to get my Masters of Public Health in Nutrition; I finish up December of 2012 and will hopefully become a Registered Dietitian shortly after! My second year of grad school classes start TODAY — eek! To learn more — check out my about me page!

Just for fun, let’s do a little reminiscing 🙂

    Just thinking about my internship is giving me a headache right now. Hopefully someone is leaving milk and cookies out for when you get home from school.

    Smith Mt Lake is SO much fun. I havent been this summer which sucks because I went constantly last year. The last 30 days has been crazy for me. I visited friends in WV, went to Pittsburgh to see U2, came home, went to DC to see Britney Spears, came home, went to WV to visit my parents, came home, and went to Tampa to see my new "home". Its been crazy!
