It's over, it's done...

Yes, graduation is over. I am awarded the Educational Specialist degree, now I can put some letters after my name-Ed.S., in case you were wondering. I have three more days at my practicum site-and may work also on Thursday and Friday if they have anything for me to do. In that little town I'm working in, school is out Tuesday the 16th, so Wednesday will probably be my last day.

I told someone that now that I've graduated, and had a wonderful day with family and friends on Saturday, I've got to come down off that high sooner or later, and I'll probably be cranky and depressed this week. I don't think it's really hit me yet that it's over. And really, for me, it's not really over. Not only am I working in the office at WSU all summer, but, I will be on a year long internship in the fall. This will require me going to classes at WSU every other week, and preparing a case study to present at the end of next spring. So I'm not done yet. Some School Psych programs have the internship before graduation. WSU has you do it afterwards. I don't know the wisdom behind that, but it works for me.

I hope to blog more this week. Thanks for hanging in there with me. I didn't do really well at writing last week. BTW, my son took some pics of me at graduation. I'll try to figure out how to post one on here. I'll see if I can find one I'm not embarrassed to post. And, more words of advice, if you want something important videotaped, find somebody who knows how to do it well. Don't ask, say, oh, I don't know, for example, don't ask your spouse to do it. Even though you love your spouse, and are so grateful for your spouse's love and support, and your spouse means the world to you, don't ask them to videotape something if they really can't do it very well. There. That's all I'm going to say about THAT.
