The fall 2012 semester just ended. This was a brutal semester for me. I actually had to talk to a professor and get an I because I took on more than I could handle. I am very grateful that I was able get an I this way I can still get an A in the class and not have my GPA ruined. I took physiological psychology, adolescent development, domestic violence and child abuse, applied research, modern legacies, intro biology, and honors colloquium. This combined with being an TA for two sections of abnormal psychology proved to be a bit much for me. In addition to taking too many classes this has the semester for graduate school applications. I applied to Duke, Yale, University of Kansas, University of North Carolina: Greensboro, University of Virginia, University of Michigan: Ann Arbor, Texas A&M, and Seattle Pacific. We'll see if I get accepted to any of them. Clinical psychology PhD programs are extremely competitive. Also, I was finally published. We submitted our manuscript in May and in December we were notified that it was published. That was a pretty awesome feeling.
I'm pretty excited for next semester. I am taking intro to psychotherapy, history and systems of psychology, adult development, family systems, honors thesis, and honors colloquium. I really hate colloquium. The class is pointless, but it is required for the honors program. I am also going to be the TA for a psych of gender class. After this semester I have 3 classes to take over the summer then I am done with my undergraduate degree. Hopefully this fall I will be going to grad school.
I'm also excited for Rory to be moving in after Christmas. It will be fun having him here.
