so what does an unemployed graduate do?
fix stuff around the house.
case in point, we put in a new storm door in my house. problem was, the latch part of the door (where the storm door latches to the door frame) was pushing and cutting into the door handle.
so I just installed a new door handle, different style. and since we also have...

What snow? I've got nothing but ice coming down ... another inch since I cleaned it all up over an hour ago 
soo, after discussion with my supervisor, here is what I have to do:
log the dates I did consultations (or fudge them)
log the dates I met with students
do a classroom observation (and write it up) of a student
write 2 essays (one is a review and feedback, the other is a "letter" to a student entering the program).
as for the hours....what did...

I don't know ... they are doing more tests to see if I have an infection of some sort. I'm doing 8 hours a night of dialysis, yet I'm urinating every 45 minutes or so .... and that's with 7% kidney function My nurse ambushed me with a dialysis catheter exchange set replacement ... I think there was a problem with a production run cause mine was recently replaced. Otherwise some of my numbers are looking better ... and I had a chance to sit around and bs with a pretty little doctor that I met a few times in the recovery area after surgery, she is one of two women that I've met that look hot without makeup.

I was in the mall until after 11pm ... searching all the stupid toy kiosks(SP?) , I found some mini r/c helicopters, motion activated light sabers, and I'm buying up any motion activated noise making toy or doll I can find. Toys that fly are great due to parents having to frequently get them off roofs and out of trees
I freaked, I admit it.
I met with my professor....we got more hours (conferences, additional hours not counted).
now I have 94.5 hours to complete.
with 15.5 hours done so far.
my site basically views as "whatever you need to do, you can do here"
so that's good!
and I'm graduating!
you know what that means!

Did you see that? 30 seconds after you commented in my journal ... the site went down again
panini:
excellent! do you know what kind of tat you will be getting?
fuck.
today I was told that I'm not even close to enough hours for my internship (I am required to have 600 hours).
here's what sucks about that:
I did 14 weeks at 8 hours a day for a Practicum (112 hours) that are not counted.
I went to a conference (3 days, 8 hours each day) that are not counted.
and I'm short about...

Hmm ... I see they now have a regional group for the island of upstate newyork 
jermhawk:
8 hours/day * 14 days should equal 112 hours.
with 3 weeks its still possible!

The groups are all slow tonight ... I might go out to eat if the roads are not too bad .

Well there is a 1/4" sheet of ice on everything outside ... and a steady mix of rain and freezing rain is coming down so the roads are pretty bad . I saw a few people poking around outside their houses with flashlights ... so the power is out in some places too ... I'm glad I have plenty of fuel for my generator
well, the assignments are winding down, so far, here's what I have to do:
-write a plan for the group I ran (that didn't go too well...until we took out a bunch of kids who had no interest).
-write a lesson plan for the presentation/lesson I'm doing tomorrow (regarding an on-line program)
-interview the school administrators (School psychologist and principal) and write that up
-write...

Its good you have a final list to work with! Just that and your done? I know its a lot of work involved. Yu will get through it - you have come this far. *huggs*

She left me ... like I said in my private message to you , I've had a stroke and a couple of heart attacks over the past year and I now spend 8 hours a night on dialysis . I've had to make some major lifestyle changes ... no more drinking alchohol , no more going out to bars/dance clubs 4 or 5 nights a week . My new lifestyle is not acceptable to my ex , with her being the party animal she is ... after a couple of months she found a real smooth talker and started a relationship after leeching off him in clubs for a stretch . She never did anything to help me during my recovery ... I had a visiting nurse , she never helped with anything around the house ... I have a maid come twice a week .
I stopped this before I went on a real rant

bleck....this overnight stuff is really starting to get to me.
problems at the internship, I don't have a window to the outside in my office. I see light, the light from the hallway.
now, on the weekends, I really don't see a whole lot of sunlight either. I get a little during the morning hours (maybe 3 or 4). but since I'm sleeping most of...

Awwww *huggs* seriously - focus on now. Plenty of time for the future.
thank you for the kind words everyone, it is really appreciated.
so things are starting to look up a bit for me. first off, I'm on "Vacation". you see, my mom and step-father are in North Caroline until Tuesday evening, visiting my younger sister who lives down there. she's having troubles as well. her job, well, she was kind of "given", and she hates it....

It is always a good thing when you can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, sort of like what happened to me recently. And yes, there are still quite a few things to do to get there, but at least you know you will and know the rewards of the struggle.
Glad you got a little time off to recover. Even a day can do so much. Best of luck to you.

The body needs a good rest every now and then. I am looking forward to getting away after Thanksgiving for a few...a few days, grateful though. Sounds like you have a full load. It also sounds like this is very interesting studies. What is the review about?
blah blah blah blah
seriously, that's how I feel right now, and I don't know why really.
Monday wasn't too bad. got things done. more importantly, I had 2 really good sessions with students. one I think was productive. the other one, well, she was telling me stuff that she said "I have never told anyone before." so that's good, right?
so why am I...
