The Shed
The moat is dug,
You've emptied everything you didn't want,
Plus a lot of stuff you couldn't stand,
Plus some stuff your kids left
when they got in the car with their new Dad.
You've painted it green,
to look more like Spring in your mind.
It doesn't help,
nothing matters,
nobody cares.
The box of swan
is in an
air-tight box
for when you
decide to
light the moat
with you
in the shed.

Intern opportunity for psych/social work/nursing undergrads
FBPDA—a 501(c)(3) organization—is looking for 1 or 2 interns for the fall '08/spring '09 semesters.
Potential interns will have a strong desire to learn more about BPD, self-injury, and related co-morbidities and have an aspiration for helping others through psychoeducational programs.
FBPDA requires that interns have excellent writing and research skills while possessing an ability to think critically and creatively.
If you can give approximately 3 hours a week during the fall/spring semesters, we'd love to hear from you. College credit can usually be arranged. Contact your student adviser for additional information.
