At Last

The results are in:

Melissa L Udall Matching Results

I am pleased to inform you that you have been appointed (computer matched) to Maricopa County Department of Public Health - #219.

The Program Director will provide you with information necessary to confirm your appointment

Congratulations and best wishes in your career.

I can't believe it! I was accepted to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health!! I just started crying when I found out because I was not planning on getting into this one because it is so competitive - there are only 4 spots and it is the internship that everyone wants it because it offers such a great experience in all areas of dietetics and located in Phoenix. I am just feeling so surprised, extremely excited and so blessed. How wonderful to know the Lord answers prayers and is directing my life. I am going to defer the ASU Grad program one year, so I will still have the opportunity to get my master's afterwards if I want to. Last night, I just kept asking Craig to make sure it really had my name on it. ha
Wow - what a relief!


(Just to explain: To become a dietitian, you have to do an accredited internship before you can take the exam, so this is my final step!)

Ok- Cycling class was a really good work out, but my rear is killing me right now- I swear if i could see down there it would be black & blue.
I asked them how long it would take for me to get use to the bike seat & they said it only takes a few classes.

P.S. i go to the gym every night usually between the hours of 5:30 & 7:30. So i'll prob run into you again.

P.S.S. you looked really good!
