MHGS, Halfway In

I've now completed half the credit requirements towards my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Mars Hill Grad School. Ow-ow! 3.97 GPA no less, suckafools.

I have really, really, really enjoyed my MH education so far. For me my time at Mars Hill has actually been denouement in my life. I've not been disappointed by the level of engagement I am called to here nor the substance of most everything that I have been asked to grapple with.

As an ode to being halfway through, I just want to roll out right quick my beloved list of everything I have taken so far:
