I am sure most of you think the same thing every time you read any of my posts here on my blog, and that is....
"Will this girl ever grow up and get some responsibility? It seems like she is always traveling or playing around."
I can't deny it... For the last 6 months my life has been nothing but pure slackerness, and I have loved it all. But I am sad (and slightly happy) to say that those days of waking up whenever I want, working out any time I feel, watching morning talk shows while I work out, staying up as late as I want, reading book after book for pleasure, and really doing nothing have come to an end. Yes folks, Marci Wittwer has a real full-time job as a dietitian. I know you are all shocked. As much as I tried to make this day never arrive, it has come anyway.
There are some positives to this situation..
1. I get to do what I love doing. I did go to 7 years of school, I might as well use all that information that I crammed into my brain.
2. I get a real paycheck. $$ Okay this is a huge positive. I have lived as a poor college student long enough.
3. When people ask me what I am doing with my life, I won't feel like quite as big as a loser. I can actually answer them with an adult answer.
4. It seems like a great job, I will get great experience, and I love the atmosphere of the place. The hospital is small and only 3-4 years old.
Although it is a job... these are some of the negatives.
1. It is located in Mesquite, NV. All you have been here no how utterly Fantastic (haha) this place is. Too bad I am not into slot machine playing, BINGO with the old ladies, or golf cause there is plenty of that to do. I am hoping the commute isn't too bad. I think spending 2 years in Boston and having to commute to work and school (30-60 min) each way has made this 45 minute drive seem doable every day. I will def become a professional 'Gorge' driver.
2. I am a bit nervous... so I am working in a clinical setting. Not my best area of expertise. Luckily I will be doing outpatient counseling, teaching classes, giving presentations etc... so I won't strictly be doing patient rounds and nutrition care plans on the patients. I am going to learn a lot!

Welcome to the real world!!! It's great and not so great at the same time...
Pretty soon you'll realize that your grown up answer now sucks and you wish you were back saying... "I'm just taking life easy"

That sounds like a new adventure. That will be awesome. Good luck with it. :)
So sad to leave that carefree life behind...but it is fun to work as well. Congrats on the job and the commute won't be that bad. I did 45 min to school growing up from 5th grade through 12th.
That is great you found something that you will like. I will admit I was very envious of your old life. But excited that you will be able to make money so you can travel more. (:
Congrats!! so happy you are doing what you love!
