Long time, loyal reader.

So I can’t talk about my practicum because confidentiality is a thing. I can, however, talk about my plans for next year as vaguely as possible. I am applying for a practicum placement next year at a national establishment where I would be working with people who have a lot of substance use issues, which works out nicely with my chosen Substance Use concentration for year 2. Now, anyone who has read Harry Potter knows that the second year sucks; although it is very important to the overall story arc, but don’t worry about me, I am happy to be embarking on the final 17 months of my studies. I am also considering a practicum at an establishment where substance use would definitely be an issue but more significantly, I would be working with people who are considered sex offenders. I have pretty mixed feelings about working with that population but the people who gave the presentation at the practicum fair were both interesting and engaging and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. It would certainly be a set of skills that is highly sought after and very uncommonly found.

I’m dying to know what you think of all this, loyal reader.
