last month

I just had my last spring break of my life...a whole 3 days off of classes! I got to go back to mn for a few days and saw amazing friends. I don't think I had an hour when I wasn't seeing someone. I love it. Also, went to Iowa to meet my roomie and ry-roomie while I was back...got an awesome "kum and go" gas station mug present! yes, I guess that is a chain of gas stations in Iowa, who would EVER have thought to name it that! Love it. In between hanging out with long time friends, I tried to fit in family bonding time too. Now I'm back in Oregon and getting ready to have a long day at work tomorrow.
The crappy thing about actually taking a "spring break" is that I fell behind in homework. I'm in the LAST month of classes, which means I'm working by ass off to visit AA meetings, write my dissertation/reports for class/practicum reports, and watch video tapes from my TA position. Pretty sure the anxiety is in high swing, so I'm hoping to make it through this month with all my hair on my head!

if you're bored

I came across a pretty funny site today, maybe it's the psychology nerdiness coming out! But if you have a spare moment and looking for a fun website...check this out.
iamneurotic.com

I like it alot!

Enjoy

relief at last

i'm moving to IDAHO for internship! and...I get to go with one of my roommates, Jen and her new future husband! not that'll we will be moving in together just living in the same town and at the same internship site :) yay!!! i'm so glad this terrible process is over

phew!

i matched today!!! i got my email at 5:21 am that said "Congratulations You have been matched to an internship position." I was very relieved..at least half way. Now there is the stress of WHERE i matched. I get another email Monday morning that will let me know what part of the country and when I will need to move. so anxiety will be hiked up again sunday night.

match day

tomorrow is the infamous "match day" for all psychology doctoral students in the country. it's the day that we find out if any of our interview sites liked us and we liked them enough to match and have an internship next year. i'm expecting an email by 8am tomorrow that tells me IF i matched...a yes or no if any of the internship sites I visited in January will be where I go. Needless to say, this is one of the most stressed i've been about anything ever. i feel that i've been good at ignoring the whole thing until this morning when my anxiety started to step into high gear. in an effort to not stress out i started looking for stress relievers online. the best so far is:

I particularly enjoy the creepy voice when you start a new sheet and the "manic" mode which is like rapid fire! next best thing to have a room completely padded in bubble wrap!

certified

i certified my rank order for internship last night. nothing like the avoidance strategy of waiting til the last 24 hours...
