You And Me

Love this song by Dave Matthews Band! :)

Wanna pack your bags, Something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
and then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes (x2)

You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes

We can always look back at what we did
All these memories of you and me baby
But right now it's you and me forever girl
And you know we could do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we could do anything

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby

Weekend...

This weekend has been fun-filled and beautiful! Thought I would share some of it with you before I have to get started on doing homework.

Friday: Great day at internship. Got a lot done and hand some fun with my supervisor just being silly and de-stressing. It was great. I came home and got a chance to veg on the couch and catch up on the TV I didn't have time to watch during the week (Gilmore Girls, Grey's, Private Practice) and took a nap. Woke up around 6 and headed out to Cheri's house to watch some Friends and eat some yummy pizza. It was great to just sit and laugh at one of my favorite comedies. Came home and slept gloriously till 9 AM on Saturday.

Saturday: Woke up to a really sweet text from my favorite Maryland man. :) Made an excellent cup of coffee. Went outside to enjoy the 60 degree weather. I walked for about an hour and had some good time with Mother Nature. Always soul soothing for me. I got to work on a little bit of homework, but I mostly just farted around and relaxed. That's what Saturday is for. ha! Then I went to Puerta Villarta with some of my favorite classmates. We had a grand time drinking margaritas and catching up on life. Then I went to see MJ's "This Is It" and it was fantastic. I was dancing and singing in my seat the whole time! It was a great way to end the evening.

Sunday: Another gorgeous day outside. It feels more like spring than November, but I'll take it! Unfortunately, I need to get down to business today and get some work done. I have a lot of things on my To Do list. But, the sun is out and later I have plans to catch up with the Kruczek/Spodek household for dinner before heading to work at study tables.

An amazing weekend, indeed! It's exactly what I need to recharge my batteries! Bring it on, Monday! (I say this now, not tomorrow morning when my alarm is screaming at me at 6AM)

Words Of Wisdom...

"There is a thin line between what has been and what is to come. It is in that sliver of time and space that you will find every bit of who you are at this exact moment. Nothing matters more than the breath you just took and the beautiful image that just flashed in your mind. For that brief second, you just are. That is the present. It is called the present because it is a gift. Be grateful for the gift you give yourself of being alive and recognizing your place in the world at this exact moment. Love that line you are walking right now that is the present. That line is your life. Walk it. Love it. " - Alan Rosenwinkel

In my head... :)

Smile - Uncle Kracker

You´re better then the best
I´m lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow that´s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it´s ok yeah it´s ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Even when you´re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Don´t know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Summer Days...

How it is August 5th is beyond me!!! Summer has absolutely flown by!

Yesterday was my last day working at camp. I'm sad to stop working there, but am also in much need of some R&R. This has been my busiest summer by far. Taking summer classes and working at camp was quite a challenging endeavor. It was certainly far from the overall relaxing summers I'm used to. It pushed my limits physically, mentally, and emotionally, But that's what being an adult in graduate school is all about. :) It was a great experience no matter how tough, maybe because of it.

I am currently sitting on a porch swing while babysitting for a couple of really amazing girls while their parents are in Toronto for a conference. I feel more at peace than I have in a while. I can hear cars passing on the road in the distance and the birds are chirping quietly. I can hear the breeze in the trees, and the rhythmic clicking of my computer keys. All is right in the world in this moment. :)

In other news, I found out Monday that Craig lost his job. His firm let him go due to lack of revenue during this tough economic time. It's a very big blow, but I have every confidence that he and Emily will make it through this. They are tough, and they have a lot of love and support. So, send them thoughts if you get a chance. They can use all the help they can get right now.

I also found out yesterday that I will have a publication in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (one of the biggest journals in the field!!!) coming out soon! I got word that a project that I was involved with at IU was finally accepted! I have to give a heartfelt thanks to Ed, Josh, and Lile for including me on the project. :) It's killer!

My apologies for not updating more throughout the summer, but it can be summarized mainly by working, studying, going to class, seeing clients, and sleeping/eating. It was not very exciting. However, something very exciting happened about a little over a month ago. let's just say that in 8 days (but who's counting)I'll be flying to Maryland to visit a very special person I like to call my boyfriend. :)More on that later...

Ok, I'm gonna put this laptop away and pick up the book I've been trying desperately to read all summer. :)

Isa-Isanogel!!

Two words. Camp Isanogel! :)

For those of you who don't know, I'm working at a residential camp this summer for individuals with disabilities. It is an amazing camp that touches so many lives every year! I have just spent the last week in training; bonding with my fellow staffers and learning all the ins and outs of camp. Session 1 starts Sunday afternoon! My position is officially that of a day counselor. I can't live at camp this summer because I have classes and such, but I'll be out there as much as possible. It's been an amazing adventure so far. There are about 25 residential staff that I've had the privilege to meet and become friends with this past week. They are amazing, and I'm building friendships that will last for a long time. Camp is always something I've wanted to be a part of. I've done the whole Girl Scout Camp thing, but that's a little different.

So, it's been one crazy week, but camp is going to be amazing. I'll try and keep you updated on it as I go along. I'll try and post some pics as well so you can see what I'm up to. Below is a link to the camp website too. Enjoy!

Wednesday.

I can't believe it's already Wednesday! Summer is going to fly by! Part of me is excited about that, but part of me wants to savor every summer moment! It's my favorite time of year.

Classes are going well. I had my first 4 hour class Monday night (Counseling Trauma Survivors) and I saw a new client yesterday and got to catch up with some of my pals who I haven't seen much of since finals week. I have my trauma class again this afternoon and practicum starts tomorrow. I'm excited to have a new prac and new faces. It'll be good. It's going to be a good semester. I can feel it! I'm officially a member of the Indiana Psychological Association, which is cool.

Today is absolutely gorgeous! High of 81! Yeah baby! So, what am I doing sitting inside typing on my computer? Beats me! :)

Off to enjoy the sunshine!

5.18.2009

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...

Spring semester is officially over. I survived finals week once again, and have actually been able to enjoy a week off. I spent my week at home with the fam, and it was great.

The end of the semester wrapped up quite nicely. I finished my first practicum at the Indiana State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency, and had a great experience. I landed an internship at the St. John's Anderson Center for next fall. I earned some pretty awesome grades while I was at it! :) As great as it was, I'm glad it's over. I'm ready for it to be summer. Summer holds the promise of a new adventure, and I can't wait to get started.

Oh right... that happened today. Today was the first week of classes for Summer Session I. I am enrolled in a class that teaches us how to work with trauma survivors. It's going to be great. Intense, but great. I have an advanced prac where I'll continue to see my two clients in the Practicum Clinic at BSU. I'm also working at Camp Isanogel part time. That won't start for a few weeks yet, but I begin staff training on June 1. I'm starting a research project of my own that will look at quality of life in long term cancer survivors and their interpsersonal coping styles. So, my schedule is still pretty busy, but it's summer and that makes everything easier to digest! Sunshine and luscious leaves and beautiful flower of all colors! :) I can't help but smile.

As for my week off, well it was pretty great. The first weekend I took a trip with Mom, Dad, Ann, and Craig to Rockville, IN, to spread my grandparents' ashes in a place they loved. It was an emotional trip, but it was a beautiful day. One that I will not soon forget. I take comfort in the fact that my grandparents are at one with nature in a very beautiful spot that they would love. I miss them dearly, but I know they are still watching over me. They would be very proud.

The rest of the week was spent hanging out and relaxing. It was great to be at home with the family and the doggie. I've learned so much and grown so much in the past school year. It seems like just yesterday I was graduating from IU. It's incredible how fast time goes. Kind of scary. Won't be long before I have a M.A. in Counseling! Holy cow! Look out! :)

Well, it's off to bed for me. I'm fighting an ear infection and a cold, and I need my beauty sleep. :)

Easter, etc.

Fortunately I have had some time to relax and breathe since April started. I was able to have an entire weekend off for Easter. No Caring Arts. No study tables. So, I went home and spent some time with the fam and the Tobster! It was great to just relax and do nothin. It was a brief glimpse of what summer is normally like for me. Not this summer. I'll be taking an advanced practicum and 3 other classes. I'm also working as a day counselor at Camp Isanogel here in Muncie. This will be the first summer that I haven't been home working at Salamonie. I'm gonna miss that for sure, but it's time to move on to something bigger and different. I'm excited about spending a summer in Muncie. My friends will all be here taking classes, and I think it will be a blast. I have a mini vacation planned with Amy (my roommate) to Chicago (her hometown). She's going to show me around like only a true Chicagoian can! I have three weddings to attend/be in as well. So, there is a lot planned. I can hardly believe that it's April. Only a few more weeks and I'll be half way through my Masters! Aims and I just renewed our apartment lease today also. Exciting stuff!

That's all for now -- I'm ready for warmer weather to be here and stick around. I'm tired of these 50 degree, dreary, rainy, April days! Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful!!!

April Showers...

So, I didn't exactly keep my word about updating every day during spring break.... Ooops! What can I say? Even though I was home, I was still pretty darn busy trying to squeeze everything in in one week. But, everything went well. I got to spend a lot of time with Linds and help her do wedding stuff. Always a fun time. I also celebrated my 23rd bday with the fam. That was fun also. So, spring break was a great relaxing break from school.

I wish I could say I got to ease back into school when it started again, but that was not the case. I was thrown in head first pretty much, and for most of the past 3 weeks felt like I was on the verge of drowning in the deep end of the pool. Classes were in the midst of that crazy time the the semester that is filled with projects, presentations, and exams. It was just nuts! But, that's how it works. You'll have weeks where you have nothing to do and weeks where you don't have enough time in the day or sanity to get all of the things done. And yet, miraculously they all get done.

I've also been on the hunt for an internship for next year. We are required to do a 600 hour internship for our degree. There is a list of sites we can pick from, but it's pretty darn competitive. It reminded me of applying to graduate school except now you know and are good friends with your competition. That adds a whole new level to it. I tend to think I can handle stress with the best of them. I've had enough practice over the past several years. But, graduate school continues to push me to my limits. I was at a breaking point at the beginning of last week. I had just been turned down for my number 1 choice for internship, and the stress had finally just culminated. I broke down, and wondered if I was in the right place or if I had the abilities to be a counselor. I hate questioning myself, but I think that it's important to do every now and again.

I turned to a good friend of mine from IU. He is finishing up his PhD in social psych, and knows all of the ups and downs that grad school can bring. He shared some very valuable information and gave me some amazing support. I was also fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with my family and extended family at a birthday party. I am lucky enough to have a family - extended included - that is very supportive and proud of me no matter what. So, between friends, family, and my own inner strength, I made it through! So, thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of those people who support me and love me. :) I wouldn't be who I am today without you all.

The end of last week answered all of my questions and my doubt cleared. I had an internship interview at St. John's Anderson Center on Thursday morning. It was sort of my last option before consulting the list again and starting back at square one. Thursday was just one of those days where I woke up and everything felt right. I had a client scheduled at 9, and the intake went amazingly well. So, I started off with a great deal of confidence. The night before I had facilitated a group for individuals who were HIV+ in my group class as a demonstration, and that went really well. I also took the opportunity to ask my instructor, who also happens to be in charge of internships at Lucina (the one I was turned down for), for some feedback on my interview just to make sure I didn't throw myself under the bus and wasn't aware of it. She said absolutely not and that it was just a fit thing. So, Thursday's interview rolled around, and it went spectacularly! She offered me the position about half way through the interview. Everything felt right, and I knew that I was supposed to end up at the Anderson Center. It was a beautiful moment. I have a very strong connection to St. John's Hospital and Anderson Center. I had three grandparents who worked at St. John's and Aunt Ann worked at the Anderson Center when it was first established. I knew that my grandparents were there with me and looking down with all the love and pride they could muster. It was one of the best moments I've had in a long time.

So, the end of last week ended all the exams and projects and presentations for a while. I have a couple of weeks to breathe before it's time to think about finals. I'm a lucky lucky girl. :)

Spring Break: Weekend 1

I'm officially on spring break! I decided to try a daily post while I'm home and have some extra time on my hands. So, stay tuned for more updates about my week "vacation."

Weekend 1:
Mission: Lindsay's Bridal shower, relaxation, spending time with Ann's crew and mom and dad.

Mission accomplished.

As Lindsay's maid of honor I took charge of throwing her bridal shower. We had an "around the clock" shower for her and both sides of the family. It went very well, and I think everyone had a great time. It was a blast to plan, and I'm glad I got to do that for her. It's insane to think that we've been friends since 7th grade and she's getting married. It seems like just yesterday we were fighting over who liked who better on our trip to Washington DC. How time flys! The wedding is June 13, and quickly coming up! :)

As for the rest of the weekend -- well it's mainly been catching up on some R&R. I took a nap today for the first time in probably 2 months, and it was amazing! It rained like crazy, but it was a slow and gentle rain that seemed to soothe my soul. Nothing like being home to release the stress and craziness of being a graudate student. :)

I do have some work to get done this week, but I'm not on any schedule. I also am making sure to enjoy my break while I have it. A good friend taught me the importance of that, and I'm following his advice. I know I'll be thankful when the semester pick back up in full force next week.

Mom is taking a few days off and I'm helping Linds with some other wedding stuff. Other than that I'm playing it by ear and going where the wind blows.

More to come tomorrow!

March Madness

No, I don't mean basketball. (Although I do LOVE me some college bball!)

I mean the insanity that comes with it being close to spring break and midterms are in full swing. I have my first midterm tonight in Research Methods. It will probably be the hardest one that I'll take this semester. Soon after I'll be being evaluated on my practicum skills, and then it's time for papers, projects, and presentations. Let's not forget internship applications, summer employment searching, and the assistantship hunt! Needless to say my state of mind most days is frazzled.

I just had a great weekend at home. I got to spend time with Aunt Cheri as she recovered from her surgery (quite wonderfully I might add). Then I went shopping with mom, dad, and Ann for Lindsay's bridal shower stuff. That's coming up this Saturday, and I'm really excited about the games and decorations and such! Should be a blast! So, needless to say, I needed a trip home more than I thought I did. Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.

Spring break is almost here. I have Lindsay's bridal shower Saturday. Mom is taking Monday and Tuesday off to just hang with me. Then the rest of the week will hopefully be devoted to finishing the book I'm reading and tackling some school work in prep for the craziness that will explode after I return to school. But, perhaps most importantly, I'll get to spend some quality time with the Tobster! Then I beleive we are doing the traditional birthday celebration the last weekend.

I love March! I think it's my favorite month! Birthday, spring break, first day of Spring, the promise of new leaves and flower blossoms and warmer temps!

SPSP 2009

I'm officially back from the conference in Tampa. What an adventure that was! All in all it was an amazing experience. I felt a bit overwhelmed and a little out of my league at first, but I had some great support while I was there. It's kind of funny that I've only ever flown to Tampa. I've been there twice for rowing training trips. Don't get me wrong -- I like Tampa, but hopefully my next plane ticket have a different destination printed on it.

A quick rundown of the trip -- I flew out Thursday morning. My roommate drove me to the airport in Indy (which is fabulous now that they have redone it!) and I met up with Ed, Sam, and Lile. For those who dont' know, Ed (Dr. Hirt) is my former adviser and chair of my honors thesis. More importantly he's a really good friend. Sam and Lile are second year PhD students in the social program at IU who work in Ed's lab. We had a blast flying down together and catching up. We met up with Abbey who also did an thesis with me last year under Ed. It was great to see her and catch up.


The HirtLab Gang. Sam, Ed, Me, and Lile

Thursday night was Abbey's poster session. I was glad she got to go first and I could see how it went. It was very casual and fun, but I was still nervous for mine on Saturday. In the meantime, I went to talks and heard all about the upcoming research that's being done in social psych. Very cool stuff. I got to hang out with some IU peeps and went to dinner. Had a great time.

Abbey at her awesome poster!

Trying on some awesome sunglasses at a vintage store in Ybor City before dinner.

Ed tryin on a hat! It's a good look for him.


Saturday afternoon was my poster session. I was nervous, but it went better than I could have imagined. I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Mark Muraven who did some of the early ego-depletion work which is what I based my research on. Very cool to meet him and discuss my work. I got a lot of very positive feedback and response to my stuff. I recently just sent my poster to about 10 earger researcher all around the country and one in Canada and one in the UK. :) That just made all the blood, sweat, and tears worth it.
Me and my poster!Like a proud papa. :)


It was a great trip, and I didn't want to leave, but it's also nice to be back home in Muncie. I appreciate the routine here, and it's good to be back.

Awesome!!!

Tampa Bound

I'm headed to the Society for Personality and Social Psychology Conference tomorrow morning. I'm presenting the work I did for my undergraduate honors thesis there. I'm pretty excited about heading to some warmer weather and being able to catch up with my IU pals. Should be a great 4 days of social gatherings and social psychology! More updates to come after I return!

Here is the abstract from my poster submission to give you an idea of what it's about...
ILLUSORY FATIGUE IN THE MARKETPLACE: THE EFFECTS OF
PERCEIVED RESOURCE DEPLETION ON CONSUMER CHOICE
Marla B. Alexander, Edward R. Hirt, Joshua J. Clarkson; Indiana University-
Bloomington—Recent research within the domain of self-regulation
has demonstrated the importance of perceived resource depletion in
overcoming actual resource depletion (Hirt & Clarkson, 2008). The
purpose of the current research was to investigate the impact of
perceived mental resources on the quality of consumer decision-making.
Participants first performed a modestly or highly depleting task before
receiving feedback regarding the supposedly replenishing or fatiguing
effects of an aromatherapy candle in the experimental room. Under
modest depletion, participants took the aromatherapy feedback at facevalue,
such that individuals given the replenishing (versus fatiguing)
feedback perceived less resource depletion. Under high depletion,
participants misattributed their depleted state to the aromatherapy
candle, such that individuals given the fatiguing (versus replenishing)
feedback perceived less resource depletion. After manipulating people’s
perceptions of their mental resources, individuals were presented with a
series of product choices as well as the Smith/Brown department store
task (cf. Sanbonmatsu & Fazio, 1990). Individuals who perceived
themselves as more (versus less) depleted made more errors in choosing
objectively better products and performed more poorly on the Smith/
Brown department store task, irrespective of individuals’ actual level of
depletion. Furthermore, this pattern of effects on choice behavior was
observed only for individuals who enjoy and engage in effortful thought
(i.e., high in Need for Cognition: Cacioppo & Petty, 1982), suggesting
aspects of this perceptual process may be metacognitive in nature.
Implications for the role of metacognition in perceived resource
availability, as well as future directions regarding illusory fatigue in
other phenomenon, are discussed.

Finding my groove...

Well a new semester is here again. It seems like just yesterday that I was starting my very first semester at Ball State. Now I'm 1/4 the way done with my Masters. Crazy. The word that comes to mind that best describes the first 2 days is overwhelming. It is taking every ounce of my soul not to just flip out. But, alas, I have retained my composure. I am very thankful to have such great friends to lean on in the program and outside of the program. We're all going through similar things this semester, and we'll all get through it together.

As for my three week break -- well, it was wonderful. Although the first two weeks were a complete blur, I had an amazing time with my family and catching up with friends. I was able to spend a great deal of time with Craig, Em, and the twins this break, which I am so thankful for. Those boys are growing up so fast, and they are wonderful. It was also nice to just spend some time with Craig and Em who I get to see often, but usually only for a day or so and in the midst of the rest of the family and chaos. Fortunately, the last week of break I finally got some down time. I spent it reading, catching up on TV, and hanging with my favorite furry guy, Toby. It was great. As usual, I was ready to head back to Muncie to get things set up and started there.

This semester is a big deal. I will see my first client, work on continuing research, present research at a national conference, and perhaps even see my first publication come through. I'm set up to do my practicum at the Vocational Rehabilitation Center here in Muncie. I will be doing more VR types of tasks such as assessment and employment placement for my clients with less of a focus on the mental health counseling, but it will be a good experience. I will be taking an advanced practicum in the summer to catch up on the mental health counseling aspect. I am also working through the academic center as a supervisor for the student athletes here at Ball State. It's only part time (about 7 hours a week), but it's right up my ally and will hopefully lead to an assistantship for next year. I'm still babysitting a couple days a week for the Spodek girls, and I'm helping a doctoral student collect data for her dissertation. That involves approaching patients at the family practice clinic to see if they are willing to participate and walk them through the necessary procedures for the study.

So, I'm faced with a very full load, but that's what grad school is all about. I will love it once I recover from the initial shock of this week. I'm excited to see where the wind will blow me. Thanks for keeping up with the journey.

Below are a few pics of some very dear BSU pals of mine at a dinner party before break.

Song of the Day...

I've been listening to this song on repeat all day.... Here are the lyrics and the video...

More updates on life soon to come! Can't believe a new semester starts TOMORROW!!!!


"Let It Be Me"

There may come a time, a time in everyones life
Where nothin seems to go your way
Where nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time, you just cant seem to find your place
For every door you walk on to, seems like they get slammed in your face
Thats when you need someone, someone that you can call.
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If its a friend that you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
Feels like your always commin on home
Pockets full of nothin and you got no cash
No matter where you turn you aint got no place to stand
Reach out for something and they slap your hand
Now i remember all to well
Just how it feels to be all alone
You feel like youd give anything
For just a little place you can call your own
Thats when you need someone, someone that you can call
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If its a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
