Diary of a Grad Student pt. 2

A year ago, I started this journey called "Getting my Master's Degree." I'm now entering my second year as a grad student and I'm pretty much more than half-way finished with the program.  All I have left is to complete my 700 hours of practicum/internship, 9 hours of elective courses, and take my comps....and then I GRADUATE!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Now, don't get me wrong.  I'm REALLY excited about graduating and being done with my degree (well...at least for now).  What absolutely FREAKS me out is what happens afterwards, when i'm actually in the field, working towards becoming an LPC, and helping people in the process. 

Real World living, right?

*Sigh* I guess this all boils down to being a full-fledged adult.  Scary, right?  I have so many thoughts running through my head at the moment...

So, as I sit here in the UTSA DT Library, I reminisce the last year of my life.

In all honesty, it's not what I expected.  And that's a good thing.  This whole grad school business was "easier" than I thought.  I mean, I studied by butt off most of the time, which probably made things A LOT easier.  I keep telling my friends and family that I study more as a graduate student than I did as an undergrad.

All in all, this past year was rewarding.  I met many great people in the program who have challenged me and I truly felt that I grew up as a person and discovered that this profession is something that I want to do.  I know it'll be difficult, but I never expected this to be easy.  I just hope I have the inner strength to keep going.

Being accepted into this program has been a blessing. 

Look out for a couple of new vlogs coming soon.  I'm finishing up a book at the moment (Cuckoos Calling by Robert Galbraith a.k.a. JK Rowling) and my September birchbox should be coming in soon in the mail. Once I figure out how to work the camera on my new laptop (which shouldn't be too difficult) i'll be posting my review of both the book and birchbox.

See you next time!

When you're on a holiday...you can't find the words to say

Well, I did promise that i'll be making another vlog, didn't I?

I filmed this a couple of days ago, but didn't upload it because youtube was acting funky that day.

However, i'm uploading it now...on my brand new laptop!  Woohoo!

In today's vlog, i'm reviewing a new chocolate bar and J.K. Rowling's A Casual Vacancy.

Enjoy!

There's 104 days of summer vacation....

and school comes along just to end it....

Sorry about that, Phineas and Ferb was playing in the background when I was recording this vlog.

Enjoy as I go over my August Birchbox!
