A long waited day finally arrived - Notification day, the day where computer matches you up with one program or.... none. AND I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED to start a new chapter in my life - Grad school and Dietetics Internship - another step closer to the real world experience and my aspiration in becoming a Registered Dietitian. This week has been so nerve wrecking and stressful. I've been prepping myself (心理建設) with what if I don't get in, what's my plan, what will my future will be...

It's no longer just internships and short term plans. We are talking about the real world here. Not getting into summer internships, you still have school to work for. But not getting into a grad program or launching a job, you just had to keep trying and trying till you get something. And I am so thankful that my hard work in these four years in deed paid off. My plan worked out... and hopefully will continue to work out.

No one other than the people in the field of Dietetics understands our application process. To the people in HK, Rush University Medical Center might not be a famous school that everyone knows. To me, it's an achievement and I can't care less what people are talking behind my back.

I really want to thank my friends and family who've been so supportive in my studies and cheered me up when I'm down. THANK YOUS!!!!!!
