Hey hey Happy Spring time to all! I'm proud to announce I'll be finishing my program in less than two weeks and graduating with an MSW on the 20th of May. I'm a snowball of feeling about what this means, but trying to focus on the next two weeks. Lots of tough goodbyes with clients I've been working with at my placement and two presentations left to wrap up the semester. I'll be starting the joyous job interviewing process over the next couple weeks - I've been offered a position where I am currently working, but I've decided the hour commute is too much to add to the work day; and I can't grapple with the fact that they would need me to start essentially now. One of my upcoming research papers is actually about the epidemic of perscription drug abuse and addiction over the last ten years...which has already shown a steady demand for addiction treatment clinicians, so no worries as far as the job goes - just a matter of when and where :)
Other random news - Kc and I build a vegetable garden bed over easter weekend and started our little seedlings out there - and made a lil strawberry patch on the side, although some lil birdie told me the strawberry plants should last from last year to this year, but there lookin' a little shabby, so we'll see.
Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Look forward to seeing you all soon! ...and by soon I mean save the date of May 21st for a CT celebration of my graduation...announcements are on their way...
Bye for now,
Jess

We are very proud of you and your perseverance. Do you plan on staying in the Boston area? Good luck with your interviews. I know you'll do well because you know that you know your stuff (if you know what I mean).
Congratulations Jess, Good Luck on finding the job that suits you.
May 21st?! Why not save the celebration for the holiday weekend (and a much needed extra travel day)... though don't plan around my schedule... according to Aunt Nancy, I may have to work some Saturdays to make up for the 9 snow/ice/flood days this year!
