Update City!

It's finals week.... so I thought I'd procrastinate with you, my adoring public. But seriously, these last few weeks have been pretty intense. I've been winding down my time at Hawaii State Hospital, and I know I will miss it immensely. I have had so many life-changing clinical experiences that it is impossible to go into them all. One of them sticks out though: Ku'aloa beach with my clients, paddling and repeating in a steady mantra "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...switch!" We all went out in a canoe, nearly all the way to Hat Island! It was a gorgeous moment and one that I will remember forever.

This summer brings new challenges, and also some leisure time to look forward to. In June I will go to Toronto for my birthday to visit Porn (Poornima), who I haven't seen for nearly two years. Toronto Island Fest is the ultimate destination: to bask in the glow of Pavement and Beach House!When I come back I will have 1. A new practicum 2. A GA-ship 3. A Teaching Job. This summer is going to be INSANELY busy. But I know I can handle it.

In other good news, I was elected KTUH's Rock Director! Yay! This is my first radio staff position, and I know it is going to be a lot of fun.

See you all after finals,

Rachael
