Where does the time go?

Wow. The last month has flown by. I can't believe it is almost the end of September! I started working at an intensive outpatient substance abuse facility for my field placement and I really like it. I am getting a lot of hands on experience with individual and group work. Classes started a few weeks ago and I am just getting back into the swing of things and getting used to reading ALOT again! I am really enjoying all of my classes this semester. My favorite class at this point is my adolescent mental health class. I think it is going to be really interactive and interesting. I am realizing how busy I am going to be this year in trying to get my Substance Abuse certificate and school social work licensure done. I am also helping out as assistant for the Clinical Lecture Series that takes place at the school one Monday a month. It is a really great opportunity for students and practitioners to hear about different interesting topics. If you want to know more let me know!
Chapel Hill is really beautiful right now and the weather is just getting better and better. It also seems that our football team is going to be good this year, GO HEELS! Since my field placement is in Raleigh I am learning more about that area as well. There are a lot of really interesting things to do in the triangle that I had never done before as an undergrad.

It is crazy how fast this year seems to be going already, I know its going to be over before I know it. I'll be keeping in touch! Erin B :)
