Fall is magical. To me, it’s not about endings, it's a time of new beginnings…

After a bout of stomach flu—or food poisoning, I’m not sure which—I am giving myself a day to relax, read, and work in the yard. After today, I'm going to be on a serious schedule. STUDY. STUDY. STUDY. All work and no play can be a little dangerous for me, so I will make adjustments to have fun. For the most part, though, the month of October will be a serious one for me, especially with having two modules: a mini-module for systems counseling and then Module 7, which will end the first year of the program. It will also be the last time we meet before starting our internships and a goodbye celebration for the second-year students.

I have an interview next week, which I’m really excited about. I have a good feeling that the place I’m interviewing is where I’ll end up. I’m crossing my fingers, anyway.
