Boston: Day 5

Hello!

It's Saturday morning and this is the latest I've slept in all week! It's swell to sleep in and it's another lovely day outside, but I'm not here to talk about today...
Yesterday began with the usual shower, breakfast, and so on. I arrived at Massachusetts General Hospital about a half an hour early, so I took a seat in the lobby and called my parents on the telephono. Finally, my time came and I headed to the Food and Nutrition Services office in the basement (it's always in the basement). I met Kathleen Creedon there and we did the interview in her office. This one, by the way, was much more like an interview than the one at Beth Israel. I was actually a bit intimidated by the no-nonsense attitude I got and I also got to feeling that maybe this one is a little out of my reach. After the interview I went on a mini-tour of the hospital with one of the current interns (the lovely Jenny Westerkamp from Chicago, IL) and that was the end of things. Overall it seemed like an awesome program! I'm just not sure if I'm going to be able to get into it... Let's be honest, I'm not exactly the strongest student and I don't have a terribly impressive resume. That being said, I plan on kicking it into high gear this fall and doing whatever the heck I need to bolster my appearance on paper. Also, a common trend seems to show that the essay part of the the application to any internship seems to be the most important part, so I'll start on that sooner rather than later. After all the interviewing and stuff, I'm not sure where I'll be this time next year, but a strong fall semester is definitely in order no matter what.
So after MGH, I "finagled a bagel" at "Finagle a Bagel" to kill some time before I met my brother for lunch. There, I stewed over the internship and read some Harry Potter. Feeling slightly refreshed, I went to meet my brother and we grabbed some sandwiches to go and took them to the river. We ate lunch there and then took a stroll around Beacon Hill. That's right. The real Beacon Hill. After that we were both kinda tired so we came back here and did a 700 piece puzzle and then a sad lot of nothing until about 9:30 when we went to J.P. Licks for some ice cream.
'Twas a good Friday. Today is my last day in Beantown. It's sad, for sure. I've almost forgotten what normal life is like but I'll surely remember tomorrow! I'm planning on being back in Muncie by mid-week next week, so watch out!
