Well, I started back to school and so far things are great. This semester I am taking vocational counseling, psychopathology, and assessment of adults. Psychopath. is my favorite so far. I have an awesome teacher that uses musicals as a way to explain/describe different elements of psychological disorders. Works for me! I am also still caring for Lars around 20 hours a week and Maya around 15 hours a week.
This coming Monday I have an interview for my next internship. It is at a psych hospital with adults. I am very excited! Cross your fingers for me. This internship would start this coming fall during my FINAL YEAR OF GRAD SCHOOL!!!!! ahhh!!!! Can't believe that is coming up so soon. I feel so good about the fact that I decided to take the 3 year route. If I hadn't I would be graduating in a few months. No thanks!
So many pictures to share, so little time. They will come with time.

Go Vegetarians!
BE A MEAT REDUCER
shocking statistics from a 2006 UN report entitled Livestock's Long Shadow: Environmental Issues and Options."
The report found that 18 percent of global warming emissions come from raising cows, chickens, pigs, turkeys and other animals we eat. That's 40 percent more than all the world's cars, SUVs, airplanes, and other modes of fossil-based transportation, which combined account for 13 percent. For further comparison, every house, residential and office building in the world accounts for just 8 percent.
There's a trend in Europe called "Meat Reducers" where, along with recycling and not taking plastic bags, people are eating meat at least one day less a week. Become a "Meat Reducer." It is a simple thing everyone can do to lower their own carbon footprint.

Your Graduation Inscription
From the book Pronoia by Rob Brezsny:
May you eat an unfamiliar dessert in a strange land
at least once every three years.
May you wake up to salsa music one summer morning,
and start dancing while you're still half asleep.
May you spray paint Rilke poems as graffiti
on highway overpasses.
May you mix stripes with plaids, floral patterns with checks,
and yellowish-green with brownish-purple.
May you learn to identify by name 20 flowers, 15 trees,
10 clouds, and one extra solar planet.
May you put a bumper sticker on your car or bike that says,
"My god can kick your god's ass!"
If you bury your face in your tear-stained pillow and bed God
to please send in your soul mate may you not slur your words in such a way
that they sound like cell mate.
May you dream of taking a trip to the moon in a gondola
powered by firecrackers and wild swans.
May you actually kiss the earth now and then.
May you find many good excuses to say as physicist Neils Bohr
once did, "Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true."

Back Home!
As great as it was to see people in ohio I am so glad to be home! Tuesday night was the most amazing Lars/Michelle reunion. It was hard to tell who was happier! Now that I have a new camera (YEA!) there will be so many pictures up here very soon. Can't wait to share them and then take more, and share those!
