Internship Adventures: North Dakota

To complete my doctorate, I have to do an internship. To get an internship I had to apply for and then interview with various places. I had two phone interviews (which I won't talk about because I don't want to jinx anything) and three in-person interviews. I applied to only college counseling sites, but I looked at my internship year as a chance to live anywhere in the country. So I chose places where I probably wouldn't normally get a chance to live.

First stop: North Dakota!

We flew into Bismarck to attend the temple. Our luggage somehow disappeared between Portland and the Twin Cities, which caused stress (it was found again before we left for Grand Forks, but we didn't know this yet), but this did not stop us from seeing the sights of Bismarck, which includes:

The airport!

Dinosaur bones in the airport!

The biggest draw in Bismarck is the capitol, which is (by far) the tallest building. 

North Dakota is unique in that there are these guys:

And apparently elevator technology has not yet reached their hotels. (Thankfully their hotels aren't very tall, but my luggage was heavy!)

Here I am right before my interview:

Overhead lighting is not great, but take my word that I was looking very hirable that day

It only snowed for the last hour or so that we were in Grand Forks, but it was pretty cold. I loved the counseling center and I wouldn't mind it at all if I matched there.

After my interview we drove to Fargo to fly out the next day for Texas.
