What I ate yesterday

Breakfast- An apple and a glass of milk
The milk was 1% so there was some measure of fat in there. There is also lactose which is milk sugar. The apple also had fructose in it but I'm not sure exactly what other nutrients are in an apple

Lunch- Chicken leg, diced potatoes and carrots with rice
The chicken leg had the layer of fat peeled off so I would assume that the fat content would be very low and the white meat on it served as a source of protein. The carrots and potatoes were source of vitamin C and have similar health benefits with the exception of carrots having a lot of their calories come from sugar.
I'm not sure as the benefits of rice except for the fact that its very soluble and easy to digest.

Dinner- Another bowl of the same soup from lunch
There was the chicken fat in the soup and mixed in with the broth and the meat from the chicken also serves as a source of protein.

Enderssion post #6

3 endressions I'd like to put on my resume.

1.) Working at a medical research lab

I've brought up this up multiple times, but I think having this multiple times on my resume would look good because it shows that im dedicated to something that is challenging and useful to the world. I was thinking of doing this at Scripps Green Hospital since I have connections there.

2.) SPAWAR

Doing research for my internship could be nice because the name SPAWAR alone is pretty big. I would either want to do chemical based research on the water, or do some kind of engineering based project. My brother has a contact to there so he might be able to set someone up if they were really up for this.

3.) Translational Science

The last internship I could think of is another research internship at Scripps Translational Science Institute. It would look good if someone wanted to get into a science or research field. There are different types of research opportunities here ranging from mental diseases to cancer, it just depends on what you feel like learning. I also have contacts here if anyone is interested.

Endersession post # 5

Different internships offer different things but I"m not entirely concerned with the skills I come away with, more about learning things about a field I'm concerned with.

However if I did have to pick a few skills I'd like to improve on my graphic design skills, because I've been in the high tech system for going on 6 years now and Photoshop and illustrator design has been a big part and I've never gotten good at it. As for this one I'm not sure we'd do this, many places require graphic design for advertising so the possibilities are pretty wide.

I'd also like to get better with power tools, as far as making precise cuts. I suppose an internship in engineering class might work just fine depending on what the project was.

As far as my career, I'd like to improve my research skills. It will be a useful tool in college and medical school. Not necessarily for the purpose of researching something new, but for writing well-informed papers when the time comes. A good place might be Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla were I previously did an internship.

Myers Briggers test

Result Notes

According to this I don't have any extreme personality qualities. To be honest I have had my choices narrowed down to two places being the Scripps Transnational Science Institute or the San Diego Zoo. Both of which I have contacts and connections to.

slightly expressed extravert

slightly expressed sensing personality

slightly expressed feeling personality

moderately expressed judging personality

Endersession ideas

Idea 1 - STSI

I recently did an internship there over the summer. I made some connections and its a very interesting place to go if you're interested in biomedical research.

Idea 2 - Scripps Green Hospital

During my summer intership I also got connections to physicians who might take interns. Its interesting to see the inside and get a feel for what its like to have a medical profession.

Idea 3 - San Diego Zoo

Its where I did my last internship and the people there were very nice. I worked in the horticultural department but people from other departments were open to taking interns when I mentioned and explained intersession.
