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. :)
