How to Launch a Career Without Going Mad

I was recently encouraged to revisit my blog in an effort to chronicle the wild adventure I am about to embark on. 

Beginning January 4th, I will be traveling across the US and back several times in pursuit of a pre-doctoral internship in clinical psychology. I will be participating in 12 in-person interviews and one phone interview, in 8 different states over the course of 4 weeks

This is an incredibly exciting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am incredibly grateful for (and, admittedly, anxious about).  If all goes well, I will start a yearlong internship, the final step in my 5-year graduate school program, in one of these places beginning in June or July. I will be traveling to the following places, in this order:

White River Junction, Vermont 
Leeds, Massachusetts 
Hampton, Virginia
Mountain Home, Tennessee
Los Angeles, California
Bedford, Massachusetts
Los Angeles, California
Dallas, Texas
Northport, New York 
Montrose, New York
Honolulu, Hawaii

Along the way, I will be reconnecting with cherished friends, many of whom I haven't seen in quite some time, across the country. I will also be exploring new territory unfamiliar to me (I have never been to New England!)
