Take a break.

And the train conductor says
Take a break, driver eight

Aaaaaah, sweet relief. The first rough draft of my thesis is complete. I have some revisions here and there that I"ll work on this week, and then it's off to the committee so that I can give my prospectus on October 1st!

Driver eight, take a break
We can reach our destination
But we're still a ways away


Last week was eventful. I did five intakes at work and then on Thursday I traveled to Osage City for a look at rural mental health with the cohort. We also attended an ethics workshop at Emporia State University, which was... well, at least there was free pop and a certificate with my name printed on it at the end. The trip involved a large chunk of time trying to figure out which direction we were headed in Emporia, almost running out of gas, and a curious series of power outages in various battery-powered accessories.

I thought I'd let you meet Liz, as it was her internship site that we got to tour (Mental Health Center of East Central Kansas).

We've moved into the teens with the wedding countdown. I think I'm still remaining relatively calm... We'll see how long this lasts.
