Excitements and Anticipations

I am excited! Yesterday I was at school -UofM-Flint and went on down to the Psych dept. to see if they had a list of places for me to check out for an internship. I am taking an interneship in the fall for my degree. Well they didn't have a list but a box of large index cards with previous students experiences with their internships, dating back into the 1980's. At first I was slightly overwhelmed but I decided to look over the most recent years. I compiled a 6 page list of places to look for an internship! Just reading over the other students experiences made me excited to start mine. I just have to decide what kind of experience I want to have and hope that they will take me on as an intern. I am torn between trying to work at a personal counseling clinic or look into trying to intern at a school with a school psychologist. I was actually thinking about asking the counseling center at Mott but I will have to think about that. I almost want to do at least 2 internships.  I can't wait though.

 

Right now I am on campus - I had a little picnic of pasta salad. It is such a beautiful day out. I love UM-Flint and I love Flint Michigan. I went downtown today to check out the new grocery store that recently opened. It was a cute place. I bought an apron - such a wifey thing to do. I hope it does well but I worry that maybe they won't get enough business although new condos are going in accross the way in the Durant Hotel and I believe a bunch of new apartments and student housing is being built all over. It is exciting to see stuff happening downtown. My husband and I went to Blackstones in Flint for our anniversary dinner (3 years married but 11 together, woohoo!) - they have awesome food there and the atmosphere is wonderful.  Anybody in the Genesee County area or passing through should check out Flint.

 

I have been working for the U.S. Census. It has been quite the learning experience - fun but challenging. It seems to be winding down now which is sad but we'll see. I have put away a little bit of money so I am excited about that. It would be nice to have a little more but c'est la vie. My husband and I haven't really planned any trips this summer because of my job but if it winds down soon we may be able to. I am so in the mood for a road trip. I really want to go back to the Upper Peninsula (Michigan). We do have a trip planned for Labor Day, we are going to Mackinac Island and are also going to walk the Mackinac Bridge. I have always wanted to do that so I can't freakin' wait!
