A personal journal during the last year of my art therapy master's program.

Graduation is over and I have been resting up! On Sunday after graduation I slept 12 hours and took a 2 hour nap on Monday. I fell asleep at 8 or 9pm on Monday night and slept 14 hours! Two years of graduate school can do that to a body. I was really energetic and productive on Tuesday though :) I talked to one of our neighbors and he said he remembered when his spouse finished graduate school. She was so tired that she fell asleep while sitting on the toilet! That could easily have been me.

I have been invited to do a career day presentation for 8th graders in June. It's odd already participating in career day and I don't have a job lined up yet.

Speaking of jobs, my plans are to recuperate after two intense years. I'll start seriously looking for a job by fall. I'm just working my three part-time jobs for now... I want to work on the house and yard, paint, and take it easy. I cannot believe how much time has been freed up now that I don't have to commute 1.5 hours each way to school! Of course, I will still jump if I hear of a full time art therapy job with benefits :)

The George Washington Art Therapy program student newsletter, Drawn From Building L is now online! I'm still adding some stuff to it but all the articles are available.

I have to decorate my cap! (Did you know the fancy term for it is mortarboard?)




I am finally finished with all my papers, classes, and internship! I turned in my practicum paper today for review and I picked up my cap and gown for graduation- FREEDOM!

I have a lot to wrap up here but for now....
