Yesterday was my last day of being called "the speech lady" in the halls of my school. I've also heard "Mrs. Speech" and "That speech teacher" :) It has been a wonderful year. I learned a LOT and look forward to what God has in store for the future.
On Monday I start my first internship in a rehab hospital :) I'm excited! I can't believe it's already here. This time last year, I was in Denton for our "Kick-Off" week for this grad program. Imagine about 120 anxious, scared, excited grad students attending class all day and getting delusional from studying in the dorms for all hours of the night. At the end of that week, we had 3 final exams back to back on a Friday. It seems to have become a tradition for "Region 20" (the San Antonio group of girls) to take finals and go grab a margarita and Mexican food to celebrate being finished with another semester. For the summer and fall, there was a sense of excitement for all of us making it through. This past Spring semester.... we were all dead tired. Only 4 of us went and we were just plain exhausted. It's funny how the emotions have changed with the passing of each semester. While I'm excited about this summer, I don't know what to expect. I have thought "I can definitely work in a hospital," but I have loved my kiddos in the school. Every place is different though, and I welcome what this summer will bring.
In a year, I will be a "graduate" (we walk the stage in May, but finish classes in August). It is hard to believe how quickly this past year has flown by. God is good.
