So it just occured to me that I will leave Denver, my awesome husband Chris, and our lives together to go to Oregon for a three month internship. I will live on campus in a campus apartment but sometimes it feels like I am away to college all over again. I actually have to purchase extra long sheets and pack up everything I might need for three months and somehow get it all to Forest Grove, OR.
What the heck am I doing? I know it will be amazing and I understand what an amazing opportunity this is for me, but I do get to experience a little time away from my everyday crazy life. I plan to use this blog to reflect on my experiences, I will also use it to post photos of my life in Oregon, and I will also use the blog to write my paper on the internship which will be due fall quarter.
I will miss Chris, I will miss my friends, and I will miss the Colorado summer but I am counting on my friends keeping in touch and hopefully coming to visit me in Forest Grove, OR. It will be super fun showing friends and family where I am living and working.
Hi everyone! I am pursuing my master's degree in Higher Education and Student Development at the University of Denver. As part of my coursework I am required to participate in an internship. I applied for an internship with the National Orientation Directors Association (NODA) and accepted the position at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. I start my internship on June 8th and will finish the internship on September 10th. This experience is truly a gift.
