I've been out of school for about a month now. I finally graduated in December!! Now on Tuesday I start all over with my Master's program. I'm excited and nervous. It's a new internship, new experiences, new chances to prove what an idiot I am. hehe just kidding
This internship will be with a non-profit agency that provides services to AIDS patients as well as provides free testing for ANYONE in the county. I will be working very closely with a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and be learning group counseling as well as some individual. I will even have my own clients!! *gasp* That really scares me. LOL I'm sure I will enjoy it and it will take time for me to get into the gist of things. But all in all I'm SUPER REALLY SUPER excited about the opportunity.
School will be Tues/Wed nights from about 5pm until 10pm. Not so super excited about THAT! The school is an hour's drive, so that means I won't be getting home until about 11pm on those nights. But my my internship is only 16 hours a week, so I will still be able to have somewhat of a life.
Other than all that, there's not a lot going on. Carl's grandfather is gravely ill and is not expected to make it. He just turned 89 in November and has lived a truly AMAZING life. We're going to go down to Austin this weekend to see him in the nursing home. Convincing Carl that we needed to go was like pulling teeth. Fortunately, none of us have work or school on Monday, so we're going down Saturday night and coming back on Monday. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. Carl is very close to his grandparents. He traveled all over the US with them as a child and spent many summers in their company. I know that losing Pop is going to be tough on him.
Hope everyone is having a good 2009!
