Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, friends!

Matt and I had a wonderful time celebrating the new year with friends, dancing, and champagne up on the Maryland shore at a friend’s house.

I was too busy with said dancing, friends, and champagne to get any photos of our night, but I did get this shot of the early sunset during our drive over the Bay Bridge on New Years Eve. So pretty!

I’ll be back with a real post tomorrow — enjoying one more day of freedom before reality sets back in. On the agenda for today: a run with my dad, lunch with old friends, working on some wedding stuff, and dinner with high school friends!

Tomorrow: get life together before our big masters program policy trip here in D.C. on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

I’m excited that it’s 2012 — it’s going to be a (very) busy and exciting year for both me and Matt. Here’s what’s on the docket so far for 2012:

  • Last semester of grad school classes (Jan — April)
  • Take comprehensive exam for MPH program — gah (April)
  • Move back to D.C. (early May) (!)
  • Hospital internship in DC (Summer)
  • Final dietetic internship in DC (Fall)
  • GET MARRIED! (October 13, 2012)
  • Write and present my masters paper and graduate from my MPH program! (late November)
  • HONEYMOON! (December)

So by this time next year, I’ll be married, living back in DC, and will have an MPH after my (new) name! I’ll hopefully take the R.D. exam to officially become a Registered Dietitian in February 2013 — it takes about a month or so after we graduate from the masters program for the paperwork to go through for us to take the national test.

Whew. Let the whirlwind begin — here’s to 2012! 🙂

    You can do it! You will be a great dietician! Go kick booty on graduate school! I start graduate school next week and my new full time job as a special education teacher. I have not decided on a masters program yet so I am just taking Introduction to Graduate Research while I feel out the school environment to see what direction to take. Thanks for being so inspiring with your go get em attitude towards graduate school and staying healthy!

    Yea to everything on your list. After your married you will continue to use your maiden name and cross it out and put your married name down for at least a month or two. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

    Have you already done part of your internship or do you have to do all of it still for the dietetics? Sounds like a fun, crazy, productive year though!
