Random Thoughts

* I just finished my seventh class with a perfect 100%
* I start my next Class January 1st- Psychopathology (which means that you have a MH diagnosis not that you're a psychopath) & Marriage and Family therapy
* If my deadbeat clients don't start showing up consistently, I will never finish my Practicum/Intership!!!
* Related to the above, I just picked up five new clients so hopefully I will get more then a few hours a week!!!
*It doesn't feel like it's three days before Christmas. Maybe a day of present wrapping and cookie baking will change that!
* I have taken even more of a liking to the song "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses. I think it's because I wish that some of that "old christmas magic" they talk about would come my way!
* I feel ripe for a change and I'm really hoping that 2008 is the year everything starts working out for me. And everyone else too, but especially me (I'm putting this one in lavender because that seems to be my color.)
* My local supervisor, Dr. K, told me that he thinks that I should go in to a Psy.D (the non-scientific version of a Ph.D in psychology) after I finish my Master's. I said we will see how I feel after I finish the master's degree. At this point I would like to get my MRS degree followed by my MOM degree before I consider a Psy.D or Ph.d. But the huge compliment is noted!
* My school supervisor is annoying the crap out of me. He says that he believes in building a relationship (no mom not that kind of relationship), but during every individual supervision I have had with him there are always interuptions (people walking in to his office, phone calls) and this week and apparently my next "individual" supervision will be shared with another student, who seems to be more needy then me(so she talks more then I do and so I barely get to talk about my stuff). How do you expect to build a relationship if I never get to talk to you?! DUH!!!!! (yes I know I sound about 9, but it felt good!) Although, I feel I must add that the school just switched presidents and hired a Provost so he has had a lot of extra work, but still.....
* I'm sick of having to be on top of everyone and everything- I've had to do a alot of micromanging at work and at Pinebrook and really, with my school supervisor a little (with the scheduling of supervision times) I wish I could just stop at being on top of my things!
*Wow do I ever need this vacation!

Well Congratulations Laura, that is wonderful that you did that well on your grades this semester. I'm really proud of you. I too think you need a change, you are not happy and it shows. Well, you know what "they" always say hehe, "when the time is ripe, it'll happen"

Merry Christmas to you.

Congrats on scoring a 100%.
