Texas Tech: Week 7-8 and Travel Back to Ohio!

Hey y'all! This is my last blog post pertaining to the NACUFS Internship.  This has been such a great experience as we finished the last two weeks as TTU.  As I said in the last blog post, the interns and myself were giving our Capstone Project Presentation.  Our audience were quiet impressed with what we delivered to them.  With all of our brains working together, we developed a great presentation.  I was involved with producing a poster for our event that we produced for the Gluten-Friendly Facility.  Carolyn developed table tents, Megan made the training manual, and Emily produced the TV ads.  We all came together for our recipes and brainstorm of different activities in the opening event.

Throughout Week 7 & 8, all of us were at a dining hall on campus called The Market.  We served over 1200 campers at TTU.  During these weeks, the interns and I started to pack our things for our travels back at home as well as making our mark on campus which ranges from running in the rain and decoration Alan and Dee's offices.

It was very tough to say goodbye to everyone at the office and other people we worked with.  Although more importantly, it was tough to say goodbye to my fellow interns/roommates.  We already agreed that a reunion is in place in the upcoming years.

It was time to head back home to the Buckeye State.  However, my parents and I decided to stop at a few places: Tulsa and St. Louis.  We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel and visited Toby Keith's I Love This Bar Restaurant.  In St. Louis, we toured The Arch, Riverside Cruise, and Anheuser-Busch Brewery.  I actually went inside The Arch and took some pictures of St. Louis and toured the brewery.  Yes I did see and touched the horses.

 After we toured around St. Louis, it was time to finish the travel to Ohio.  I got back home at midnight on Tuesday morning.  I can't wait until school starts to tell the younger dietetics students in my department about this experience at Texas Tech.  It was great sharing my experiences and time at Texas Tech.  Now there is only a month left until I go back to my senior year in college.
Goodbye TTU & West Village!
 Safe Travels Back Home Everyone!
