Nutrition Wisdom

“If we give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.” Hippocrates

"In these days, a man who says a thing cannot be done is quite
apt to be interrupted by some idiot doing it."

-- Elbert Hubbard

I have to admit that I have amazing and interesting instructors. They always try to inspire their students, by posting "wise" quotes on our courses' home pages. Below is a quote for William Shakespeare that one of my favorite instructors posted on our course website. Wanted to share it with you (I haven't heard of this one before):

“We know what we are,
but know not what we may be.”

                            ~William Shakespeare

True....Very true...

Good morning - Just woke up...Its a very nice day today here in Taif - Warm and sunny. Pity, I can't go out. I already lost 4 hours in shopping yesterday, when I wasn't planning to go, since I have a case study in Clinical I that needs to be submitted before Sunday. Today, I have to finish my last two application packets, which I'll be sending out to two internship programs - my last chance of getting into one of the programs with openings for Fall 2011. Yes, I did apply to 5 Dietetic Internship Programs for Fall 2011 - 2012, and was not matched to any one of them (i.e. did not get a match), so I'm doing the second round now (or at least, my parents are making me do it - grin)...One of my classmates didn't get matched either, and didn't get into the program she applied to for second round. We'll see what happens, and what I can get out of this. Its overwhelming, since I had to do the process all over again for those programs not participating in DICAS Clearing House. Sooo overwhelming. I'll find out what happens by early/mid May...I'm not losing hope, and not going to cry if I didn't get placed....Good luck to all second round applicants!!!
