Still alive!
Still breathing!
And yes...somewhat STRESSED!
Really, there's not much exciting news to report, unless you want to hear about the paper I am working on? Yes? Ok. And if you said no, then you can stop reading. Anyways, as a post assignment from the last intensive class I had, we can choose from a variety of topics, as long as it pertains to family and relationships.
So I chose to do my research paper on Interracial Couples, as I would like to find out more about the issues and theories revolving around them, and what sort of therapeutic interventions can be used. Obviously, I chose this topic because I am personally involved in an interracial relationship. Not that my relationship needs therapeutic intervention or anything!
Also, we started a new case study class on Monday, and it was amazing. I discovered that I am completely interested in both art and play therapy as a way of counselling clients, espcially children. I would like to explore these areas more, and try to find a practicum site in which I will be able to engage in these interventions.
Which is another reason I'm getting stressed...I'm freaking out about trying to find a practicum site. I'm having terrible thoughts and alot of "What if's"...like What if nobody calls me for an interview? or, What if I do get interviews, but nothing works out because someone else will get the position? , or What if it takes FOREVER to find something, because it's so darn competitive?! .
See people?! I'm freaking out! I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it. I worry too much, don't I?

hey Dana!
Glad to hear from you! Missed your comments there for awhile! ;)
Thanks for the vote of confidence, I am sure I'll find a job SOMEWHERE, but you know, I still freak out over the small possibility of not.
How are your studies going? what year of nursing are you in?

Hey Dana,
Yeah it must be INSANE with those hurricanes right now! You seem to deal with them very well though! Do you mind if I ask how old you are? Any children?
About the "paintbrush" thing beside the comments, I think that's actually a garbage can?? It's a way to delete the post if you don't like it, I guess? Or maybe it is a paintbrush, and that means "edit"? I'm not sure b/c this is blogger's own comment program, I use to use Haloscan, but I somehow can't figure out how to post it back up properly, so we'll have to settle for this. It works anyways!
