Good morning! Good morning!
So, I meant to post about my day yesterday after finishing up with my work, but the whole evening blogging thing is tough! I’m much more of a morning person – and that is true for working out, too. I may be able to keep my whole blog/exercise/drink coffee routine depending on what my schedule is like for my first rotation. Some of the other girls don’t have to arrive on site until 9:00am, so that would be perfect! But I’m still waiting on that dang background check. Fortunately, that hasn’t kept me stagnant. My preceptor has assigned me some really cool projects. Which I am now going to tell you about. Okay? Okay! {Pardon my over-enthusiasm this morning – I’m running on about 3 hours of sleep – slap-happy-Stephanie! Woo!}

Project #1
October 1st through the 5th is Food Service Week! My preceptor is currently collecting donations from various vendors for giveaway prizes. My task is to create a trivia game based on different foods. Each day there will be a new winner! Fun, right?
Project #2
French Hospital makes at least two homemade salads for their salad bar everyday. I am to find recipes and create a two week menu rotation for Monday through Friday (20 salads).
Project #3
My preceptor asked me to design an Employee Incentive Program based upon patient satisfaction. Employees are graded in the following areas: Flavor of Food, Courtesy of Server, Temperature of Food, and Overall Service. French is looking to increase their scores. I get to come up with a way to do that through this program AND plan the party/reward for after!
Project #4
In the French Cafeteria, they have a Grab n Go section with sandwiches, salads, parfaits, pudding, and jello. My job is to create a three week cycle menu with simple, healthy, recipes.

How fun are these assignments?!
Yesterday, I spent 8.5 hours working on things – I’ve completed the Trivia Game and Salad Bar Rotation, made a dent in the Grab n Go menu cycle, and brainstormed for the Employee Incentive Program. A substantial chunk, I’d say.
I’m trying to keep my hours in line, so I don’t fall too far behind; we are required to log 32 hours Tuesdays through Thursday at each of our sites.

The plan for today:
- Run 6 miles
- Check out Arroyo Grande’s Farmer’s Market, if I have time {not that I need anything, my fridge is stocked to the brim!}
- Yoga at Harmony House Yoga in Pismo Beach at noon (Hello, $8 community classes! What a deal!)
- Work on Intern shtuff
Today is all about taking care of myself. Yesterday, I did a poor job of that. I sat at my desk working on all of the above, and then browsed the internets {I like calling it “the internets.” …such a weirdo.} and watched hulu for the rest of the day. Yuck. Lazy, lazy, lazy bones.
And that’s enough. Time to get crackin’!
Later, dudes.
