Have you ever been so frustrated that you wanted to cry?

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. 

Taking advantage of opportunities...

Are you?

There is so much to write about but Revenge is on, the Good Wife is coming on, and I need to study for an exam.  This entry will be short and sweet but I plan to start writing at least once a week.  I just couldn’t wait to share about today’s adventure. 

 I went zip lining for the first time. 

It was a cool trip organized by the recreation center outdoor division at school.  I hope to take advantage of many more experiences like this because you may as well enjoy life.  Check out the video below.  I took it as I zip through some trees.  I had to wear a different helmet than everyone else because my hair was too big. I had to un snap the chin snap after each line because it was so tight.  I’m not sure if it was really because of my hair or big head! :)
