As many of you know, I had been studying to take the Registered Dietitian exam. Well, no more! I am officially a dietitian and I couldn’t be happier. What’s important to know about dietitians is that we are legally bound to provide scientific-based nutrition information to the public. What that means is that we are the experts on food. Foodies, as I like to say.

Alan and Sara Aren’t Leaving For Kenya… Yet
We previously thought we were leaving for Kenya on September 3rd, but the date has been pushed back. Oh well, we’ll get there eventually.
We were recently in Canada where we were taking some VSO training courses and eating awesome shawarmas. For whatever reasons, Ottawa has a large Lebanese population, so there are Shawarma King restaurants on every corner!
I’ve been reading a lot (see my post asking for suggested readings), and Sara’s been studying. Yuck, right? “School’s out forever!” right? Wrong. Sara’s got a very important test coming up in a few weeks in order to become a Registered Dietitian (RD). She’s taking the test next week… wish her luck!
Sara’s Graduation
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!
