I'm leaving for the rural deep south soon. Start on Monday, will probably leave Friday and take a day or two vacation to go hiking before going to my beautiful motel room for the next seven weeks after that. I'm stressed but excited about the move. The internship needs paperwork signed and completed by my supervisor, who I believe has still not done that. I also have a good bit of training to do come Monday when I start, including CPR certification since my old certification has lapsed. It's going to be a busy few days and a big adjustment.

I didn't really get a break between my finals and this starting, and that's a shame. I need the income, but it's lead to further exhaustion. And my parents were in town which lasted for five days and again lead to less relaxation and lost income because part-time student employment. I'm incredibly fortunate that my job pays very well and is extremely flexible for me, but the lack of regular schedule from the real world is greatly missed. This is just pure chaos. I've got the internship, the thesis, and my job to juggle without taking into account self care and a social life. Grad school is dumb and I'm very excited for a year from now when I'll be done.
