It's official! I am a grad student. -sigh- Thank goodness!
After the completion of my first week I have to say I am so thankful the pall of the unknown is broken. Of course none of my fears came true but the truth was beyond my happiest expectations.
This week began with orientation on Monday, where I met my "Cohort". If you aren't in on the social science lingo a cohort is simply a group of people who share a specific time period and experiences. My cohort totals twelve grad students and since we take 90% of the same courses I'm sure we're going to grow quite close. This week alone I have already begun to befriend many of them.
This semester I will be taking 5 classes: Adult Neuropsychology, Advanced Psychopathology, Foundations of Psychotherapy, Diversity and Therapy, and Research Topics. This including a TA job, and my preexisting job at Spokane Psych and Neuro, is quite a handful. But I am confident that I can make time for all those things as long as I keep on top of everything.
I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone in my program better and will try and provide updates here on my blog once a week if possible. I'll make sure to include interesting things that I learn in my classes and updates about life in general.
