well,the presentation I had last Wednesday, lets just say, the professor has e-mailed myself and my 2 group members to congratulate us on our presentation and ask our permission to use our lesson plan as an example of what to do for future classes. so that's good news I think!
as for my counseling session last week, not as good as I thought it was. its a tough client. I'm definitely being challenged here.
its just tough in some ways. I can't read the professor. I'm not sure how hard she is grading me. I simply can't tell. her evaluations of my sessions are rough. that's for sure. the only solace I take is that everyone else says they are getting evaluated roughly as well. so who knows. I have ideas for the next session. if only the fact that it might not be the last session I have with my client...
outside of that, I have a break next week. a sorely needed break. the family (IE, mother and step-father) are arguing about the same crap as always. its starting to get on my nerves as well. he's thick headed, she looks for things to bitch about (to the point of being illogical about her complaints). oh the joys of my life. no wonder the previous counselor I saw (4 weeks, EAP program) was worried about me moving back home for 2 years. oh the joys of my life.
probably another reason why I need a girlfriend. for no other reason than someone to talk with and vent to....and if things go well, someone to stay over night with when I need a break!
so any takers in the Rochester area? I don't drink, don't smoke, not abusive, listen good. not a lot of money. but that's not my concern. please!
(okay, so I'm desperate, I admit it!)
