Dr. Flanagan?

Maybe in a few years. On Friday I hit "send" on the final piece of my application for a PhD program in Clinical Psychology at Fielding University. It is a distance/online program. Last time I was thinking about this I mentioned it to my dad who responded, "Dr. Yungblut....I like the sound of that". You would think he would remember after 14 years, that my name is now Flanagan. My brother, Scott thought that Flanagan-Yungblut was an awfully long hyphenation, but thought it could work for me.

If I am accepted, I would "orient" in March in Santa Barbara, CA. I would travel a few times a year for clinicals. There would also be a 9-month period where I would go to Dallas monthly to meet with my cohort.

I am ready!

There is a certain ring to Dr. Flanagan. Can't wait to hear if you are accepted. Good luck!

Dr. Flanagan. I hope that it does not go to your head. I know of some who make everyone address them as Dr. You are always going to be Cherisse to me, no matter how many letters follow your name. Good luck! You will do well.

What's the latest update, doc-to-be? (Aren't you proud that I actually signed into your blog? It shows how inspirational you can be!)
