Three Semesters Down...

Two to go.

Holy...

SHIT!!!

Time is flyin by folks, I cant hardly believe I've been in Chicago for a year now. Its very surreal to think that I only have 9 months left of grad school.

When you apply for schools and wait patiently for acceptance, it seems like 2 or 3 years will take forever and ever. I really started to wonder if I wanted to take these two years and accumulate an ass-load of debt just for a few more letters behind my name. But then the time arrives and it just zooms past.

And then I realized that those few more letters behind my name will actually mean something. A very real accomplishment. Something that will pay off.

I think I'm one of the only persons in my family that will have a degree beyond college. I have a few cousins that are doing med school or more training in that area. But my immediate family, I'm the only one as of right now. I was also the first to graduate college from my mothers side. Crazy shit man.

I can't wait to get there next April with my M.A.

The summer semester went really quick. My group counseling class was great, probably one of the best classes I've taken. The other two were a bit of a waste of time. I'll have to take time to learn and re-learn some of the material on my own. I expect high grades for all the classes though.

In other news, the visit is on Tuesday!! I'm super excited about it. His mom also mentioned coming back with them for a few days before coming back to Chicago. I might do that if it works out. It would be nice to have a little vacation before I start internship and moving at the end of the month.

And I want to wish a Happy 1st Birthday to Miss Emily! I can't believe what a big girl she is these days!!

Plans for the weekend include some cleanup, and trying to stay busy so I dont go crazy. Not really sure what is on the agenda but I hope its fun!!
