Anyone here starting a Psy.D. program this fall?

[quick1]

Looking forward to starting in a Psy.D. program this fall with advanced standing at a university here. Anyone else gearing up for their doctorate in clinical and/or counseling psychology? How are you mentally, physically, socially, and financially planning for what is going to essentially be your life for the next 4-6 years?

I'm starting a Psy.D program this fall. My program is partially funded, and I don't have to worry about paying for living expenses, so I only need to take out loans for what my assistantship doesn't cover. I know it's going to be hard work, but I'm really excited for the next 5 years.

Congrats, it's exciting for sure. My program offers some assistantships which works out to little less than half  tuition if I get one. I'm also hoping to continue seeing some patients while I'm in school (already have a Master of Arts in Clinical Psych).
