Hujambo!

After nine long months in Santa Barbara, I finally graduated from the dietetic internship. A dietetic internship is a postgraduate internship for future dietitians to get real life, hands-on experience in the field. The next and FINAL step towards becoming a Registered Dietitian is to sit for the RD exam.

As you can see, I really like my cake, as do Alan and my sister, Claudia. To see more pictures from my graduation weekend, click the image. OK, time to study… wish me luck!

In preparation for moving to Kenya I’ve started brainstorming a list of books to bring with me. Great idea, Alan, but ever since graduating and quitting both of my jobs last month I’ve had nothing to do but read! I’ve already plowed through a few books and I’m starting to endanger the book surplus I had created for Kenya.Check out a list of books I picked up in preparation for the big move:

• Siddhartha
• A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
• Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit
• The Story of B
• My Ishmael
• Beyond Civilization: Humanity’s Next Greatest Adventure
• Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
• Unbowed
• The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
• The Prophet
• The Selfish Gene
• Dark Star Safari
• The Sex Lives of Cannibals
• Into the Wild
• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
• The Satanic Verses

And as you can see I’ve slashed a bunch of them already! Read more
