ahh, sleep, what a wonderful feeling. I got home from my internship on Thursday (saw my client again) to fix my computer. my family managed to screw up the screen resolution big time. had to reboot in safe mode, stuff like that. also had to fix the power switch on my computer....it wasn't turning on consistently!
then called into work. more hours for me...whoo-hoo!
I'm doing fine. The funk I had from the end of last year seems to have dissipated which is good and I've decided to take a little more control of my life, so that should help keep things even. The kids and the kitten are still a pain in the butt, I'll have to work on them a bit harder.
Friday Night: work overnight (11:30 PM to 8:00 AM)
Saturday, I sleep and then work overnight again (again, 11:30 PM to 8:00 AM)
Sunday, I come home, eat my Nigiri that I just bought, sleep, wake up, broil some scallops and make some rice pilaf to eat, and then go to sleep around 11:00 PM or so (yes, before... Read More
well, another year has come and gone. its been interesting to look back upon, in many ways. here's some highlights:
1. started counseling. for real this time.
2. was told that I need to work on personal issues if I want to make it as a school counselor.
3. got into serious debt. didn't make nearly enough over the summer. almost had my car insurance... Read More
Busy year! Once your graduated and on the path for a full time stable job im sure a few things in life will shift. Well Im hoping a few thigns in mine do
....and done. finished commenting in all friend's journals that have posted since November 15th. figured that was a good cut-off date. why November 15th? felt like it? dunno. looked good? ehh, it fit?
so, please, friends o' mine here, write more journals so I can comment in them. I have about 2 weeks before classes start up again. although since they are suppose to be... Read More
The end of uni for me seemed so far away at the beguining of my last semester - but looking back on it now - it was slow - but it was only 3 months. I hope your last weeks at uni are hassle free and that everything for you gets finished and finilised nicely. Enjoy the last of your holidays!
well, tomorrow is Christmas, can't you see me jumping for you?
survived the family gathering...some interesting gifts. I ask you all who read my journal if I should panic or not:
My aunt (uncle's widow) is still kind of hard hit by his suicide. as she put it, he was her world. it took her some time, but she is doing things, going out with... Read More
glad you survived the family gathering! i have some get togethers tomorrow night. blah! as far as your auntys gifts, i think that it must mean a lot to her but maybe she thought that someone else could enjoy it and it'd still be in the family???
well, I'm done for the semester. with both Internship and classes. yesterday was my last day at my internship for the year, today is the last day the school is open for the year. I start up again January 3rd. so I get some time to relax! its nice.
I also have officially finished all my classes and have grades in now:
I still have to complete one transcription and a journal entry and evaluation for my consulation class. normally I would have to do three tapings, but the professor felt that I was on the right path and so only wanted a tape that showed the intervetion phase of things, moving towards disengagement!
last week, I turned in my evaluation so far. my internship has been different. I know the material. what's holding me back is the personal issues I've accumulated throughout the 30 years I've been here. the entire middle child stuff. if you look back a few entries, I... Read More
new layout....its all weird and such! I'm going to have to take some time to get used to it now!
let's see....work is progressing. did I ever mention that I hate writing Verbatims? and I have 45 minutes (or so) of verbatims to get typed up by, oh, Wednesday! add to that 2 2-page article reviews, a 6-8 page paper, and presentation to prepare for... Read More
well, today, while stretching, I was able to touch my toes!
whoo-hoo!
yes, that is an accomplishment for me. for years (well, pretty much my entire life), my hamstrings have always been very tight. no matter what I did (soccer, t-ball, football, or dance class....yes, I took dance classes. modern and jazz), I never could get my hamstrings loose enough to touch my toes.
I think one of the hardest parts of counseling that involves working with other people for your homework happens when there really isn't too many people (maybe 2) in the area that you trust enough to talk to about what you're doing and feel comfortable enough to talk to about your "homework"!
on happier notes, I'm almost done with the semester! one more to go!... Read More
Congrats on finishing all the big stuff! Its awesome to not have to do any more assesments - at least for a while! 
I'm doing fine. The funk I had from the end of last year seems to have dissipated which is good and I've decided to take a little more control of my life, so that should help keep things even. The kids and the kitten are still a pain in the butt, I'll have to work on them a bit harder.
Take care.
