Post-Masters Life...

Recently, many people have begun asking me what my life will look like once I graduate from Trinity with my Master's. Well, first of all, I still have another year left. I'm all done with classes after this semester, but next year I'll be doing my internship. I've got a great site lined up and am excited to get more involved in clinical practice. My internship is at an agency right down the street, OMNI Youth Services. They work primarily with adolescents, but do a lot of work with an adolescent's family as a part of treatment.

So then I should graduate in about a year, May 2008. And yes, I am planning on applying to schools to begin doctoral work. Frightening, huh? I really think I'd like to eventually work as a professor, and to do that, the Ph.D. seems necessary. So over this past year I've been investigating all sorts of programs, and have compiled a tentative list of schools I'll be applying to. Basically, I'm looking at schools that...

1) Have plenty of financial backing
2) Have professors who do research I'm interested in
3) Are in locations that both Joy and I agree to

It's a big commitment if I end up going on (another 5 or 6 years), but it's something that both Joy and I are very excited about and believe we are wise in pursuing at this poing in our lives. So right now I have narrowed my list of schools down to ten: 5 schools I definitely plan on applying to and 5 schools which I want to look at further before I decide either way.

That's just a little update from where I'm at these days. The application process is long and intimidating (it's quite common for a school to get 300 applicants and take about 5...), and it won't be until a year from now that I actually know anything, but I thought I'd just let you all in on just what might transpire in the next year. We'll see.

How can i carry away windows xp from my laptop and reinstall windows Me -the laptops native software?
I suffer with recently bought a acquainted with laptop that is old. The living soul I had bought it from had installed windows xp on it, regular though it instance came with windows Me. I be to oust the windows xp because it runs slows on the laptop because it takes up more honour than the windows Me would. Also I want to remove windows xp because it is an illegal copy. So when I tried to ass updates on it, windows would not initiate updates because the windows xp is not genuine. [URL=http://lihunho.angelfire.com]accu-chek aviva test strips[/URL]
