Can you believe that now when you write the date you will be using the number 7, that’s crazy.  But what that means is we still have one more month of summer to make the best of.  I have had a lot of fun this summer already and am excited for what the next month will bring.  That also means my summer nutrition class is over, I took the final today.  It wasn’t difficult in the sense that I needed to memorize or figure out some concept.  Instead it was like a race to the finish, 50 questions, 60 minutes, open book, and open notes. 

Simple right…well the questions were sneaky.  She would ask a very specific question that you had to get the answer off the caption of a random picture in one of the speaker presentations.  It wasn’t like this was stuff we had actually talked about in class, for example there was a question about what percent of Missouri’s WIC program was spent on administrative costs.  Who cares?  If you were wondering I found the answer is some financial report handout one of the speakers gave us, I don’t remember the answer. I did fine on the test but there was a lot of rapid page flipping and usage of the index.  And by the way I think nutritionists use way too many acronyms…WIC, SNAP, FNP, EFNP, CFAP, OHAH…the list goes on.

Anyway, I finally got everything packed today which was kind of odd trying to pack two bags.  My bag to London is small with not much in it because most of my stuff is in the Rwanda bag.  I had to fight the urge to fill up the London bag with more stuff since there was extra room.  That doesn’t happen much when I pack…I admit, I’m an overpacker, please don’t judge.  Packing was actually easier that I thought it would be.  I have been putting it off as if it would get easier as I got closer to departure.  Really it was easy because I basically have just t-shirts and a couple pairs of pants.

There is one problem though, I have this feeling lurking in the back of my mind that I forgot something.  Of course if I really did forget something I probably won’t figure it out until I am in Africa and need it.  I am not sure if I will be able to go down to the corner store and get what I need.  However, if they don’t have it that means I really don’t need it anyway.

    My name is Meg and I am currently a Geriatrics and Palliative Care Fellow at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.  I started this blog several years ago as a way to remember and talk about what I experienced while studying abroad in Rwanda during the summer of 2009.

    The blog has now continued and still serves as a way to let my friends and family know what I have been up to and a way for me to open up.
