As I had expected, my first month back in Whitehorse has been crazy hectic, leaving little room for anything non-work related. Since we returned to Whitehorse at the end of July, I have been working pretty much non-stop. Since I still had 4 weeks to complete of my internship, I have been doing that during the week, and working at my new job at the hospital on weekends. In between all of that, I am racing to complete assignments and evaluations that are required to officially end this internship. With only 2 weeks left of internship (8 days to be exact), I can hardly believe that I am going to be done. It is a huge milestone in my life, which comes with alot of excitement, but also some uncertainty. I have been going to school for 20 years now and I definitely don't know what it is like to be finished work and not have assignments to go home to. What am I going to do with myself? I have also not yet secured a job as a dietitian which is a source of stress for me. There are so many opportunities here, and everyday I hear of areas in which Dietitians are needed in Whitehorse and the Yukon, but there are just no positions! My biggest concern is that I will stay here for a year, or even longer, and still not have a dietitian job. In that case I would have to move to where there are jobs and just hope that somebody will hire me with no experience!
But besides all that, this last month has been super busy, but I was lucky to have this past week off to spend with my parents and grandparents who travelled all the way from Manitoba to visit. They were also able to be here for my (early) graduation ceremony. It is bedtime though, so I will blog about all of that another time. Just wanted to write something as it has been so long!
