Getting My Master's

Once again I'll be a student.


I just got accepted to Hazelden's Graduate Program in Addiction Studies and will be a LADC-Professional Practice. (Licensed alcohol/drug counselor) aka psychotherapist.

http://www.hazelden.org/web/landing.view

The population which interests me are those with a dual-diagonosis (mental illness and addiction), so will be working along with a psychologist or may look at getting my PhD.

It'll be a busy next year or so, but well worth it!

Really? Where are you attending school and isn't it a little late in the semester to be jumping into class?

I can start winter semester.

It's an hour drive to Center City. I'll try and schedule so classes are every other day.

I want to get rid of the S600 -- and a "serious" buyer is coming from Wisconsin to look at the diesel wagon on Saturday.

You need to keep and drive the wagon instead.

I used to live up in Shafer (right next to Hazleden) with my brother. My brother and his family still live up there. IIRC you live in Edina?? That will be about an hour (should be closer to 45-50 mins) but at least you will be going against traffic. Or you could move up there. It is a very pretty area with all the lakes.

I hope you sell the wagon. If you keep dropping the price, eventually you'll get to my price range.


Congrats. I hope you enjoy the new endeavor.

I was about to say something similar. Does addiction to old Benz's count? I mean is that really and addiction or mental illness? My wife suspects so but I tend to think its a manifestation of sanity and level headedness.

Congratulations Ted!

Meanwhile, what are you going to do with the detailing business you purchased a year or two ago?
