    Thanks! Haha, yeah, I know people going all over the world - Singapore, France, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden, and Germany. I don't think I would do very well in a country where the native language is not English, haha. So, for that, I am fortunate. The England exchanges at my university were extremely competitive this year - 300 applicants, and only 1.3% were selected.

    Congrats to you as well. It seems like you're doing quite well for yourself. I'm sure that every newbie in a professional field initially feels unprepared. I have a feeling that will go away with time, though. You're likely a lot more prepared than you think so, at this point, the key thing to do is have confidence in yourself and the rest will follow. Even if you feel like you're unqualified/don't have enough experience, do the best you can. I have an interview in a law firm on Thursday, actually. Typically, law firms only hire students in law school already. Given that I'm only in my second year of undergrad, I'm not holding my breath. At the end of the day, though, I'm going to be confident and give it my best shot.

    Wow, that sounds great. It seems like you had a great week - and have a fantastic guy on your hands. Don't let him get away My boyfriend picked me up from class on Tuesday with flowers, chocolate, and a super nice card. He took me to the fanciest restaurant in the city, which was really nice. We spent the rest of the night watching hockey - also, nice (but our team lost so, boo). Valentine's Day doesn't have to only be one day, though, and that's what's so special about it

    Congrats on your acceptance into the exchange program! I can imagine how exciting yet terrifying that must be... a whole year, in another country! At least you can speak the native language. =P

    Right now, I'm taking four classes (multicultural counseling, group therapy, clinical practicum, and marriage and family therapy I). I am also at a practicum site, which is a fancy way of saying I have an internship. It's one of the requirements for graduation (and the hours also count toward my total hours required for licensure, so that's cool). I'm going to learn about my first client tomorrow, and hopefully I'll start to see them next week! I, too, am excited yet terrified, because even though I've learned a lot through TeenHelp and my graduate classes, I don't *quite* feel prepared... which, I've been told, is how I will feel for the next 2-3 years. LOL!

    It was Valentine's Week because 1) he didn't want to place too much emphasis on a particular day (the whole "I love you every day" mentality), 2) he couldn't be with me on Valentine's Day (long-distance relationship, but I managed to see him for the weekend), and 3) he likes to spoil me rotten! He had a small bouquet of roses delivered to me on Monday, a poem sent to me on Tuesday, a romantic letter/sunset at the beach/dinner at a nice restaurant on Thursday, and a killer massage yesterday. =D I'm probably forgetting something, there was just sooo much that he planned out!

    Haha, why did Valentine's Day last a week for you? I'm glad to hear that things are going well with your boyfriend. What's new with your school stuff? What exactly are you doing now?

    Things have been well with me. Like you, though, I've been busy. I'm on Reading Week (Spring Break) right now until the 27th, but I have three exams during the week I return to school - ugh. My boyfriend and I have been doing really well; he's great. Oh, I've been accepted to go on an exchange to England for the 2012-2013 academic year. Ahh, I'm excited/scared/everything.

    I'm doing well, but I'm suuuper busy! Generally one large project due each week, on top of class/work/practicum/TeenHelp. I've been getting about 6 hours of sleep per night, sometimes less... but I'm hanging in there! Things will ease up a bit in two months. =) At least I was able to have a WONDERFUL Valentine's Week (yes, week, not day) with my boyfriend. <3 How about yourself? How's school going? Life? Love life? xD

    Hey there! Sorry for the delay in responding, I was on staff leave at the time. D= Anyway, it seems you've already received some sound advice. <3 As a first year, I would suggest you put most of your time and effort into developing closer relationships with faculty members, ones who have similar research interests and/or you get along with and would like to have as mentors in the future. Also spend some time looking through research databases for any articles pertaining to love, relationships, etc. Perhaps you can expand upon research that has already been conducted by a professor at another university, so you won't have to start completely from scratch. You could even try to get in touch with that professor and discuss your interest in the subject material!
