Internship

Well, I got one. I have been offered an internship position at Children's in Dallas.

I had a phone interview with Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children on Thursday, I felt like it went really really well. Now I am waiting to see if they want an in person interview sometime in February.

I am still waiting to hear back from Nebraska after my phone interview with them last Thursday. I though it went pretty well.

So far I've heard "we're not going to offer you an interview" from two hospitals, Greenville SC and Memorial in Chicago. I have yet to hear one way or the other from Yale (I know they have and are reviewing my application, I got an email telling me that, but no communication since then), Children's National in DC, Rush Children's in Chicago, and Denver Children's.

I know that the opportunities and training that I would recieve at Dallas would be excellent, it would be top-notch, and I would really be luck to be there. Yet, I am still apprehensive about accepting the position. Children's is a HUGE hospital and it is only getting bigger. There are between 35 and 40 Child Life Specialists on staff there. Though I know that it would be a great place to learn, it intimidates me. I don't know if I could flourish in that environment, all those 

people constantly trying to tell me things and show me stuff, I feel like it might be overwhelming. I would prefer to work at a smaller hospital where the program is small but excellent. But then again, it doesn't matter what I prefer, it matters what God wants for me. Oiy Vey.

On a lighter note, I got to see President Bush at his first public outing since leaving office!! He and Laura came to the Lady Bears game vs. Oklahoma. Sadly we lost the game in the final seconds, but hey, I was in the same place as President Bush!!

Layout

I know, I just had a post about my new layout and I've changed it yet again...
I was tired of the Valentine's day-ness of the other one. I like this one better :)

Interviews

So far I've got three interviews:
2:00 Tuesday in Dallas
1:00 Thursday phone interview with Nebraska
2:30 the next Thursday phone interview with Inova Fairfax

Pray that I do well.

Still waiting to hear from six.
Pray that I know where God wants me.

Beginning of the end

This week marks the beginning of the end of my undergraduate career. I am at Baylor for my last semester, in May I will have earned my bachelors degree and I will walk across the stage to begin a new chapter in my life. It's a pretty scary and exciting thought for me; I know what I hope to be doing after graduation, but it's ultimately up to God in deciding where I will actually be and what I really will be doing. I have applied to nine children's hospitals for Child Life internships--Yale New Haven CT, Children's National DC, Inova Fairfax VA, Greenville SC, Nebraska, Denver, Chicago Memorial, Rush IL, and Dallas Children's. I have no idea where God wants me, but I'm willing to go just about anywhere.

If you've noticed my new template, no there is no boyfriend or relationship to speak of, I choose this layout because it has my favorite flower. Though it does anger me that the only layout I though was cute on that particular website had that phrase on it. I know that Valentines is next week, but are all of us who are single just supposed to hide out and act like we don't exist so that those who are in relationships can be all lovey-dovey? Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to begrudge anyone of their lovey-doveyness, but I also don't think that everything valentines should be about love between two people. Can't it celebrate goodness in all people? I am content in my singleness, I want to be able to do things before I meet and marry the man God has choosen for me. Why can't I have a cute valentines layout that has nothing to do with being in love?
I'll just take that saying as He, God, Loves me :)
