oct 1

Can't believe it's already October 1. Mom should be back in Arizona now. It was so nice having her here. It felt like we are on vacation together in Boston, not that I lived here at all. It was fun though. We went to Harvard Square which neither of us had seen, did some shopping, explore Harvard, ate dinner at the North End. It was really great. I'm looking forward to my Thanksgiving break, and even longer winter break at home.

I started to look at my schedule for classes for next semester. We don't register until the 30th of October, but most of my classes are chosen for me. I will be taking Clinical Practice with Individuals, Families and Groups (all of which are their own separate class, conducted over about a month-5 weeks' time, so they are shorter 2 credit classes for each), research methods, my field placement, social welfare policy part 2, and then i can choose one of 3 electives- child psychopathology, adult psychopathology, and racial justice. I have to take racial justice at some point, but I think I will take child psychopathology, only because I am trying to load all of my classes on Monday and Tuesday (which will be terrible, but I need to do it because my internship has staff meetings Wednesdays and I need to be there that day and it makes the most sense to also be there thursday and for whatever reason racial justice is offered thursday). The class schedules are a mess and everyone agrees but I guess there's nothing I can do.

I have a paper due next week, and then two due in two weeks. It's starting to get stressful. Hopefully I will get a lot done this weekend.
