Hey, remember me? It's only been about three months since I last promised to start updating on a regular basis.
I've been running around like a nut pretty consistently since the last post- or, at least, it's felt that way. The second half of the semester was pretty rough and I have to admit that, as had been the trend up til then, I didn't cope with it as well as I could have. It all worked out, though. I finished the semester with a 4.0 and I am reasonably certain that my advisor still thinks I am a worthwhile human being.
Right now I'm home in Jersey finishing out an internship with the Morris County Office of Health Management. It's not exactly what I'd had in mind going into this whole internship deal, but then I really couldn't tell you what I *did* have in mind. Regardless, I have learned quite a lot and I'm sure my experience here will color my decision making in terms of career prospects from here on out.
I'll be heading back to Bing August 22nd to meet the incoming crew at orientation. I'm actually really looking forward to seeing everyone again and being back in my apartment. The pressure should let up significantly this year now that I won't be working as a graduate assistant. I'm looking forward to focusing on my studies and on professional development, and having the mental and physical energy left over to take care of myself.
Hope everyone's summer is going well. Let me know what's new in the comments.

Hey, Celia! I remember you with great joy! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been as nutty busy as you seem to be and trying to get all manner of projects completed. I've decided to incorporate contemplative elements in my Guitar I and II classes (which requires adjusting the syllabi a lot), I'm preparing a proposal for an online music therapy conference (which requires obsessing a lot), and I'm working on putting together a five-hour class I'll be presenting at a live and in-person conference in November (did I mention the obsessing part?).
Meanwhile, I'm registered (and need to pay for) the Folk Project Fall Festival. Will you be going too? Or is that during school season and therefore somewhat of a challenge? Oh, I do hope you can come!
Sounds like a lot of interesting and worthwhile stuff, Roia! Keep me posted on how it all turns out. I will not be able to make it in the fall, as that weekend is sandwiched between a wedding in Tennessee and a family vacation to Florida, and I will likely need that time to work on stuff for school. Enjoy it, though, and let me know how it is!
