survived my first week

So far so good. All of my professors so far seem great, the classes...I think will get better with time. Next semester will be better because it I get to take a class about doing interventions/therapy with individuals, families, and groups in the same semester. My internship also seems great so far. They're really flexible and are open to me doing anything really which is great. I'm starting off co-leading a group and doing a bit of case management, or at least shadowing with case management, so I like that so far. My advisor suggested since they are in the process of becoming a non-profit I should try and do grant writing if possible so I think I will try to get in on that too.

I'm also looking forward to finding out about BU's MFA program for poetry. It's only one year, so it's definitely a possibility and manageable I think. I also need to look into then, after getting my MSW if I should wait a year to take the licensure exam to become a LCSW because I think you need to be working afterwards. Or, I suppose, I could go to school part time. I need to find out all the possibilities-it may not even be possible or worth it, but the faculty at BU, such as Robert Pinsky, would be a dream to work with.
