...and another...

Got rejected by the counseling center at Utah State University today.....

Now, 3 interviews, 5 rejections, 7 sites that haven't notified me.

....and another rejection

The Portland VA hospital rejected me. They got 192 applications this year, so I'm not too surprised I got rejected.

Now...3 interviews, 4 rejections, 8 sites that haven't notified me.

Yay! Another interview!

I got offered an interview at the counseling center at Washington State University today. Yay! They don't do on-site interviews, just phone interviews. It will be sometime in the next couple weeks. I e-mailed them some preferences for times and they are supposed to get back to me once they get it all scheduled.

Current interview status: 3 interviews, 3 rejections, 9 sites yet to notify me.

Jessica's check-up at the dr

Jessica had her 4 month check-up with the dr today. She is actually almost 5 months old (she'll be 5 mo. on Dec 16th). We got behind because she was sick at 2 months old and had to wait to get her shots. Anyway...

She weighs 18 lbs, 11 oz. (above the 97th percentile) and is 26 1/2 inches long (the 97th percentile). She is still a really big baby and is so much bigger than Christopher was at this age. The dr said she looks great! She got her shots today, which she wasn't too pleased about. The dr said we could start her on solid food now, so that should be fun. She'll start with rice cereal.

She goes back for her 6 month check-up (and more shots) in 8 weeks (at the beginning of February).

Subject: Rejection

I got rejected by the counseling center at Central Washington University yesterday. I appreciate that the internship site was perhaps trying to save me from getting my hopes up when I saw an e-mail from them in my inbox, but there is really nothing at all pleasant about getting an e-mail where the subject line simply states "Rejection." They of course also sent the somewhat standard rejection e-mail...we had lots of qualified applicants, it was a difficult decision, we are unable to offer you an interview, good luck with the application process, etc, etc. Oh well. Another one bites the dust.

Current application status...2 interviews, 3 rejections, 10 sites yet to notify me.

More interview news....

Yesterday the Salt Lake City VA hospital rejected me. Then this morning I got a call from Warm Springs Counseling Center (the Boise site) and they offered me an interview. YAY!! I'm interviewing there on Dec. 19th. So, for those of you who have nothing better to do and are keeping track....that's 2 interviews, 2 rejections, and 11 sites that haven't contacted me yet about my interview status.

Interview update.....

I heard from two internship sites today...one offered me an interview and the other rejected me. Pacific University's Psychological Service Center (which is in Portland) rejected me, but Spokane Mental Health (in Spokane, WA) offered me an interview. Their interview day is on January 11th--it's basically an all day kind of thing (from 9:30am to 3:30pm).

I'm excited to have an interview at the Spokane site. I have heard really good things about their internship program. The training director is a graduate of my clinical program at Ole Miss and had the same advisor as me. One of the grad students from our program went on internship there a couple years ago and said it was a great site.

Anyway, now I wait to hear from the remaining 13 sites. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I get some more interviews.
