Nut. Assessment Lab!
We have begun working in the Nutrition Assessment Lab. Today we taught about taking height and weights for infants, toddlers, kids, and adults. It was Halloween so we got to have a little fun trying to manipulate costumes. Just continued learning/doing/extrapolating. That's what we do.

Miss FNCE Pageant 2009
We had a 2009 Miss FNCE Pageant on the way home from Denver. I am sure that our bus driver LOVED every second of it! Natalie was our hostess and she ran the show. Each girl had to introduce herself and model a hairnet (a little more BYU appropriate than a swimming suit right?), answer a question from the audience, perform a talent, and finally they had to respond to the intern judge panel's questions about how they could make FNCE a better place or what they would do if they had one day with the ADA president. Some of the talents were HILARIOUS. We discovered some crazy and awesome things about BYU dietetics students!
This clearly was a successful pageant year.

A few more FNCE picts:
Some additional picts from open mic. Priceless... for everything else, there's mastercard.
FNCE, FNCE, We All Love FNCE!!!
We had an amazing trip to Denver, Colorado thanks to our bus driver, LeGrande and Le Bus Company. A day by day highlight:
Saturday: We met at 5:15 at the Law Library and finally left at 5:45. We had a Sandra Bullock theme on the bus and watched, "While You Were Sleeping," "Miss Congeniality," and "The Proposal." That was broken up by having our open mic sessions with predetermined conversation topics (i.e. worst dates, most embarrassing moments, etc). We finally arrived in Denver after 9 hours on the bus and suited up to head over to the opening ceremony at FNCE. We were excited to hear from the new ADA President, Jessie Pavlinac and watch her dance a little to Black Eyed Peas. Suze Orman instructed us for awhile on how we should be saving our money. Then... the night life started - we went to the Cheesecake Factory and we had already made some reservations for 50 people... well, someone HORRIBLY messed that one up and we ended up having to wait for awhile. It was fun because the Sisters Duncan and Mitchell came and we met up with some BYU alumni.
Sunday: We went to our first classes and it was many of the students first exposures to "THE EXPO" which is the professional description of adult trick-or-treating (ok... this probably isn't the purpose but we all found the silver lining). We ate at Woody's Pizza and then we went to an AMAZING and PERFECT fireside that Sisters Duncan and Mitchell presented to us.
Monday: We had more FNCE business to attend to. There was a fun speaker that helped us capture the vision of remarkable communication leading to remarkable results... Pamela somthing... More Expo time... more classes. We went back to the hotel and everyone went all over for dinner but most of us went to Dave and Buster's and either went to "Whip It" or played in the arcade. The big event was synchronized swimming... there is a video out there somewhere (hopefully not on youtube :)
Tuesday: Our final day at FNCE... more classes, more Expo... more networking... We had an awesome closing ceremony with Soledad O'Brien. We determined she is best described as classy and sassy. Some people headed back for an afternoon nap at the hotel before going to Wicked, others explored the streets of Denver and had dinner. Wicked was a hit and everyone made it home alive after using public transportation!
Wednesday: We woke up to find a faint snow on the ground and were on the road with LeGrande at the wheel by 6:30. We watched Bride Wars and Dan in Real Life and then... WE HAD Miss FNCE 2009. It was AWESOME!!! We had no idea how talented everyone was :) Special congratulations to Miss Senior FNCE: Michelle Christenson, Miss Junior FNCE: Bree Kidd, Miss Senior FNCE Runner-up: Gayle Larsen, and Miss Junior FNCE Runner-up: Morgan Garlock.
Then we were exhausted... and then we were home. We are all trying to figure out how we can make it to Boston next year!!!!!

champions of the (byu dietetics) world.
This was our last week in our respective rotations. Now, we switch spots with the other groups... clinical and management here we come (respectively). We attended (or presented) at the clinical seminar yesterday and each of them did FABULOUSLY. Today we had the management presentation about our Pen Court experience. Now... we are feverishly prepping for FNCE! Let the games begin!

Tailgate and Celebrate 2
For some reason blogger was funky and wouldn't show me the pictures so that I could put captions on them...
1) Theme day was a SUCCESS. We feel like it went fabulously.
2) We broke Pen Court's dessert selling record... we ran out of all 85 that we had! Molten Lava Y Mountain Cake was AWESOME!
3) Special thanks to Sister Duncan because took care of all of the balloons for us... that was a lot of time and we appreciate it.
4) The Rational oven started going crazy and smoking that we thought theme day would end with a real bang when the smoke alarms went off... conveniently it relaxed itself.
5) The students did great in Preprep and day of service... things went smoothly.
6) Thanks to all of our friends and family that came to support... special thanks to Ann's UTE husband and brother-in-law...
7) One more day and we are done with our production time in Pendulum Court... goodbye, farewell, and amen.
