as for my counseling session last week, not as good as I thought it was....

well, as I watched my video from the last counseling session I had with my client, and I think I did extremely well. I went in with the attitude "screw the techniques, be myself and make them work for me!" and I think it helped!

just keep in mind... just when you lose all hope and give up, is usually when things start to happen! when dating is concerned, it's usually either dry as a desert, or pouring buckets! hang in there!
and good luck with the rest of your week!
oh, and...
i do like fritz! just mis-directed my angst at writing the paper at him...
Gestalt is so interesting, and I do love the incorporation of body awareness! I'll have to keep an eye out for those tapes you told me about.

hey, dont get involved with girls at your work, but going for younger is better, you just have to learn to be confadent in yourself. I do know that most younger women do look up to older men, I am just now kind of starting to get to enjoy this.

well, its been a busy week, but I'm done.

I've met with people in the East Rochester school district for a project.

I've formatted a powerpoint for a group presentation.

I've gotten papers back.

well, I think I got some confidence back, thank you everyone for words of support (plus, hey, a Suicidegirl commented in my journal....a first for me! now if I can only get one to request friendship, I'll be really happy!)

had a good session on Friday with my client. I took the professor's advice and became directed and focused. it was a good feeling.

and...

good luck with your presentation, I'm going to devote the better part of my spring break next week on the gestalt project...
Confidence is a good thing to hold onto... it always makes men more attractive if they are confident (in a non-cocky kinda way)

so I'm sitting in Pizza Hut today, waiting for my mom and sister to show up, having ordered already, when I started thinking....

"Can I actually do the job as a school counselor?"

and its starting to wane now....not good!
