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!
