I always knew GA was a natural disaster waiting to happen

There'a a lot going on in my life right now, so I'm going to do my best to catch you guys up.

1. Apparently, GA's in a MAJOR drought and our esteemed governor has asked the President t declare the northern part of GA a natural disaster area. Why does this not surprise me? Drinking water may dry up in about 3 months. You can read all about it in this article. Seriously, send water if you can. Eh, I'll just drink sodas. And I am doing my part for the environment by refusing to wash my car. Haha.

2. I am soooooo done with school. I passed my comprehensive exam (that I needed to pass to graduate) and I have completed my last case presentation that was required for me to graduate (yes, I passed that as well). Saturday, I took my licensure exam. Provided I passed it (which I think I did), NO MORE EXAMS!!!! Graduation ceremony for grad school: November 30th. Let the graduation gifts begin please.

3. Good news: as of Wednesday, October 24th, I am no longer an intern. Great news: As of Thursday, October 25th, I will be an employee at the same location. Woo-hoo! I'm basically going to be a subcontractor. They will pay me by the client and they're going to pay for half of my health insurance, which I can live with. In a few weeks, I'll even have my own group to run. I'm terrified of running my own group therapy session, but excited at the same time.

4. Boy Wonder and I are doing wonderful. Yesterday, we did fight a little bit. But we actually seem to be on the right track and things are going great. I'm pretty damn happy. I just wish he didn't have to travel so much. In the last month, he's been gone for two of them. Just something I have to get used to. I love him, so I will.

5. I absolutely looooove the Atlanta Thrashers. For those of you who don't know, that's hockey. Also for those of you who don't know, they have won ONE game this entire season. I'm very bummed, but I'm NOT a fairweather fan so I'll stick by them. So far this season, they have fired their head coach and my favorite goalie is on the injured reserve list from yet another groin injury (that's what he gets for doing all those splits). The hockey all-stars are coming to Atlanta in January and Boy Wonder and I have our tickets. Everyone who doesn't can bite us. It's going to be a little difficult if you don't live in Georgia and if you don't have a season ticket package (which Boy Wonder and I do).

So that's my life right now. There may be something else I'm forgetting, but if it's important enough I'll let you know. I guess everything is coming together very nicely . . . you know, except for that whole pesky lack of water thing. Oh well, there's always something.
