My wisdom tooth is slowly yet vigorously killing me second by second. I will probably have it taken out tomorrow after my Emerging Infectious Disease class. I have a presentation for this class tomorrow morning, with my status right now, I don’t think I can really talk. For those of us who have to deal with wisdom teeth, too too bad for us! Well that’s my highlight so far!

I went to the Upper Midwest Food Show at the Minneapolis Convention center today; I have never seen and ate so much food in my life. There were hundreds of food vendors that show case their products. I was there with the Minnesota Environmental Health Association (MEHA); our booth was full of public health promotional products from the old days, some signs were from the 1920s. There were so much food, but because of my tooth, I was not able to eat as much as I wish I would have. This is a four day show, so if you are interested to attend, I can tell you that it is worth it.

I am very excited now that I figured out what I want to work on for my master project and a clear possible research track for my PhD studies. I was totally stressed and quite depressed these past several weeks because of this lost direction. Now that I have figured out what I am passionate about I will be able to speed up my process.

My internship at the City of St. Louis Park is going very well so far. I am so fortunate to have my mentor continuously supporting me; he is such a wise and kind person. The people at my internship are very nice and friendly. I am learning so much already; I will be shadowing some of the food inspectors this coming week. Last week was my first time help in with an inspection at a motel in St. Louis Park. It was a unique experience; we looked at every corners of the motel. This first time experience will never be forgotten~ One other thing I feel like I have to share with you about St. Louis Park, this has nothing to do with what I do for my internship, however if you like to shop brand name clothing then this is good information. There are two outlet shops on in this city that you can find brand names clothing for super good price. I have been spending quite amount of money these days from these two shops. They have random merchandises such as clothing, purses, shoes, house appliances…etc.

Well, have a beautiful and loving week!
