Hooding & Ivy Cutting

I didn't have high expectations for the hooding and ivy cutting on Friday but it ended up being very ritualistic and I enjoyed it greatly. My favorite part was walking into the tree-lined circle with the drums going and being with my friends. Of course I could do without all the speeches but it was fun regardless. Indulge while I give some highlights:

Getting hooded.
Claudia was my last practicum supervisor and is Dean of the MFT department.
I want to be her when I grow up.
She is an amazing, amazing teacher.

I love these shots that Chris, Scott's dad, took from far away.

I especially like how Kaylene is looking away in the first one and how Sarah is smiling at her.
She is just a social butterfly.

My good friends from the program (minus Kara).

I got lots of hugs over the weekend. I like how squished I look.
It is symbolic of how I felt with all the love over the weekend.
Squished in the best way possible, of course.

My loves.

This is my friend Gay. She worked with me at my internship. I love her so much.

We were taking a picture with her camera phone for mutual clients.

I thought this was a cute picture of Caley and I after the hooding.
