August 25, 2016 | My last week in Orlando came and went far too quickly. Even after almost three months here, I found myself not ready to leave. Every moment of this week’s camp seemed much more special and enhanced, because I knew it was the last time I might experience it. For this last week of camp, I was placed […]

August 25, 2016 | Just as I started my first blog post, it only seems fitting that I title my last one with another Evita lyric. On August 12th, my time at the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires drew to a close. The end of this experience was bittersweet, and while it’s hard to come to grips with the fact […]

August 22, 2016 | This week has been the final week of my fellowship with Project Rousseau. The week started off a bit hectic and stressful, but ended on a positive note, and I am proud of all the work I have accomplished. As I mentioned in my previous blog, last week ended with me needing to find a new […]

August 21, 2016 | Hi all! I’m logging in one last time to share my experience in my last two weeks at the AAMI. “The Museum Squad” as we dubbed ourselves had a lot of fun and made a huge amount of progress in the construction of the temporary exhibit. Week 9 The second week of August involved a […]

August 16, 2016 | This morning, I drove away from Creede, Colorado.  I wasn’t driving to Alamosa to get Taco Bell or to Pagosa for an adventurous day off.  I was driving the full 9 hours, all the way back to my driveway in Ogden, Utah. It’s hard to believe that after making a home out of Creede, my […]

August 16, 2016 | I continued my work on the functional and T1 imaging in Bipolar disorder study this week. I am making better progress than I thought I was going to. I have kind of got a groove going when going through the data.   I would have to say that academically; this week was one of my […]

August 16, 2016 | Last week started off a little bit stressful. I had successfully scheduled the community service activity for the Hyde Park Academy students at the Lakeview Food Pantry. After talking with many people at Project Rousseau, finalizing the details and making sure everything was okay to move forward, I received an email from Beth informing me that the […]

August 16, 2016 | This week I began working on the functional and T1 imaging in Bipolar disorder study (T1 rho). For this study, I am responsible for data clean-up. This entails me going through about 90 subjects’ files. While looking at each subject’s file, I have to simultaneously look at REDcap. REDcap is an online database where the […]

August 15, 2016 | This is my last week here at the hospital and I have to say it’s bittersweet. While I’m happy to be able to go home and see my family, I am going to miss the people I’ve met here. I will especially miss my mentor, and I can honestly say Jess is one of the nicest people […]

August 13, 2016 | This week I was placed again with 2nd-3rd graders in Animal Addresses. Despite disliking this camp the first time I did it, it ended up being one of my favorite weeks! This was due almost entirely to the way my primary counselor, Leigh Ann, worked with both the interns and the campers She was so […]
