To my fellow graduate students:

Today I thought about running away ....but then I realized if I ran, the books would most certainly come chasing after me. 
We're halfway through folks, think happy thoughts!!!

A Good Place

Man, do I love my cohort-all 115ish of us.  I even love the ones I have yet to meet.  I finally feel like I'm in a place where I'm surrounded by kindred spirits, all aspiring social workers, all believing there remains some goodness in this world that can be harnessed to bring about change.  Their genuineness is striking, their willingness to lend a hand is inspiring.  I've come to a good place and I'm happy I've found it.

Now if only I could make it through midterms...

As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of The Office.  So naturally, I was quite pleased to walk into my Human Behavior class and discover that I'm being taught by the spitting image of this man:

Ed Helms who plays Andy Bernard on The Office

Even his mannerisms and voice are spot on!  Crazy!

Breathe

No time for a pithy blog post, my wakeup time is set for 6:30 am tomorrow morning, significantly earlier than I'm used to.   I was planning to gradually adjust to this new time by waking up a bit earlier each day leading up to tomorrow.  This plan did not go accordingly.

I end this rather short post letting everyone know that I might be having a mini freak out session (is that an oxymoron?!?) (haha, I originally wrote oxymormon) but I'm going to be okay.  We're all going to be okay.

I start graduate school/internship tomorrow!

AHHHHHH!  Breathe.  AHHHHHH!  Breathe.  AHHHHHH!  Breathe.    

I lived through an earthquake today (welcome to California), so graduate school should be a piece of cake, right?
