The End and The Beginning....
Summer's end nearing....it feels like change is on the horizon. I truly hope the next school year brings challenges, joy, and a dissertation proposal success. I am coming to the end of my classes and the beginning of research. I am frightened, and worry that I will not be able to make it as a scientist-practitioner. However, I know that if I truly push myself to do good work, and do not allow myself to get overcomitted and careless, then I will certainly succeed.
Change is hard and I have dealt with it in maladaptive ways for most of my life. These strategies worked at the time but they no longer suffice. I need to be OK with the anxiety of science and allow myself to master it without aid or distraction.
Wish me luck.

Teaching....
I feel incredibly grateful to be teaching Abnormal Psychology again this summer. I really connect to students and I get such positive feedback. I'm feeling especially lucky to have a fun group this year, consisting of actors, musicians, and physical therapy students. One of them even said I was an inspiration to them for studying Serious Mental Illness.
SMI til I die, yo.

...Fear Gone!
Played our last show last night. So many people came out to support our music and it was beautiful. Felt like an appropriate end. I know I will succeed in both making a quality record and getting my PhD...feels like a productive time in my life is about to begin. I feel ready for the future to arrive.

Growing Older....
Feeling quite reflective today: almost 28. Feeling good about what the future holds. Proud of my past accomplishments. Time moves forward and us with it, until the end. I want to move forward this year, and get out of school forever. Bring it.
