Here we go!

After a few months of reading, babysitting and relaxing I'm ready for my second year as a graduate student to begin.  I'm excited to see all of the second year students and to meet the new students in a few days at their orientation.  I can't believe that one year is already done, it went by so fast!  This year is also very exciting because I will be taking the classes that I am most interested in and I am really excited about my field placement.  Only a few more days and I will not be able to complain about not having anything to do, I will have plenty to do!  Tonight I am going to volunteer at SHAC, the health clinic run by students.  Although I never thought I would want to work in a hospital setting I have really enjoyed working at SHAC.  I feel like I have learned a lot about direct practice and have gotten real hands on experience there.  I would urge anyone who has not volunteered at least once to try it out.  Tomorrow is the first day the ambassadors get to meet the new students and I am really excited.  Just thinking about all the stuff I have to do in the next few days makes me think I better get started!  I'll be back with updates and a much busier schedule in a few days.
