Year 2 begins

Thus concludes my first and only summer off from my Psy.D. program. I'd like to say it was school work free, but alas. In actuality it was a time for me to research any client issues that I didn't have time to read up on during the school year, and time for me to start my Grad Assistant position without feeling like "I don't actually have a summer off."

Now I'm back. What that actually means is that I am getting back into the pace of school and work, which is more like a distance run or marathon than like a sprint. I'm really putting forth effort to not burn myself out, set a good stride and pace, and establish an organized system. 2 days in, and I am mostly succeeding. We'll see what the rest of the weekend holds.

Part of this transition for me is getting back into semi-regular blogging, ideally about professional growth-related issues. I want this to be a means of reflecting on ethical and methodological issues, developing as a psychology professional, etc. I want to renew my passion for people and the pursuit of health.
