More updates...

So along with moving out here in the last two or so weeks, I also started my internship!!! It was really weird going from having the whole summer to do whatever I wanted to jumping right into a 40 hours/week job!!! Let's just say I have been VERY tired and miss my afternoon naps :)

Nonetheless, I love my internship so far! It is located in Rutland, MA which is a very small town (smaller than Cambridge if you can believe that!) and the site itself is located on hundreds of acres in the country! It is so great to get to still have the peace of the country at work, especially since the nature of residential treatment is very chaotic! The other intern that is there with me is great! She is originally from the east coast, and then moved to the west coast for grad school and now is back! We have had fun getting to know each other, going through orientation, and being anxious about internship together! We also decorated our offices...which are located in an area of campus that is commonly referred to as "the bat cave"....still deciding on how I feel about that :) Our offices are not exactly luxury, but hey...we have our OWN offices!!!! No more sharing or signing out offices or carrying around a huge tote of therapy games, etc.!!!! I'm soooo excited about that!!!

Here are a few pictures of my office so far....not completely done...need to find one more thing to put on the back wall!!! Ideas are welcome!!! PS - that white board that is hanging up was passed down from the intern before me and you can hook up your ipod to it and it plays music!!! Best invention EVER!!!!!







About time...

So here I had this great idea to start a blog so that I could keep people updated on everything and then I never really posted anything for the first two weeks or so that I have been out here...oops! Well here is the first one!

So the drive and move went really well! It was a LONG drive, but upstate New York is SOOOO pretty and that kept me occupied for several hours!!! Chris flew in on Saturday and I drove straight from New York to Boston to pick him up and then the two of us made it out to Worcester where my apartment is! Everything got unpacked, but nothing was decorated until Emily got here the following Tuesday! After several trips to Target, Ikea, etc....this place FINALLY feels much more like an actual home!!!

Here are some pics of my new place:
