Today I wanted to cry while working on biostatistics with a
TA. I’m pretty sure she wanted to cry
too. I just wasn’t getting it. However, I didn’t cry and still haven’t. My plan is to step away from it for a
day. So tomorrow I won’t waste her time
at the TA session because we both will probably just end up frustrated.
As I sit here I am wondering why I haven’t cried. I think it is because I am enjoying this new
experience with all its ups and downs. Yesterday
my advisor said that I need to aim for a higher
level for my practicum. Meaning I should aim for internships with national
organizations and not just local opportunities.
I think I am up for the challenge. : /
The dilemma is that I know I want to work with communities.
I don’t want to be in an office setting 9-5. I want to be building
relationships and collaborating with people to make our communities healthier.
However, it would be beneficial to get other experience especially if I can get
paid something while doing it.
Glad to hear that you didn't cry. I definitely did my first year of grad school. Exciting to think about internships already! Two years goes by so quickly :)
