Blog Death?

Well, I've been wondering since I have graduated (see how I so subtly tied that in?), I'm wondering what else I will use this blog for. I guess anecdotes about work, therapy, and other random things that come to mind.

Well, in light of those things . . . I travelled back to Utah yesterday. According to all weather reports, it was going to be impossible to get over Snoqualmie Pass from Saturday morning through Monday night. So, I took off Saturday at midnight (or Friday, whichever way you want to think of it).

In short, I arrived safely and extremely tired. After briefly attending a foodfest in celebration of my youngest niece's birthday, I came back to my sisters place and slept from around 7:30PM through 8:00AM. I was briefly awoken by the couple living above my sister who were screaming and swearing at each other around 3AM, but I went back to bed quickly. Although personally, I wanted to knock on their door and tell them to shut up otherwise I'd call the cops.

So I am here to spend the holidays with my family and (some of) my friends. Thanks to all those who showed their concern about my travelling here.

Gone and Done It

So, I graduated today. It didn't hit until I was walking toward the entry of the auditorium and many of the professors and university staff were applauding for the graduates. Then it finally sunk in.

Honestly, it's a great feeling to be done. To not worry about assignments, papers, or due dates. But then again, I didn't worry about those anyway. For me this program was more of personal growth, understanding, and learning how to better interact and communicate with humankind. Obviously I still have a long way to go, but it was a great start. I have many friendships that I gained and many experiences I could not have had otherwise. It was a great experience.

Now some of you would ask, "So what are you going to do now?"

The answer is, "I've applied to work part time at the psych unit instead of currently working as on call. Also, I'm currently volunteering at my internship site so I can continue to do counseling until I get another part time job doing therapy. I need to stay in Washington for at least two more years to get my license. After that, who knows?" So there's the routine answer, now lets have a glorious holiday season, eh?

Oh . . . and on top of today being a glorious day, guess what happened to make it the best day ever. It snowed.

Well, It's Official

And you're all invited.



And if you can't come in person, watch it online. After the long and (most likely, boring) speakers, I will be one of the first 15 people to walk on stage. I'm done guys, I'm finally done.

As for what will be happening after that, let's chat and figure it out.
