So this post will not be as serious as the title sounds. I'm basically coming to the realization that tomorrow is the beginning of my last semester; and with that comes the schedule from hell. While I'm very much looking forward to my internship, I'm not looking forward to waking up at 6 AM every morning. But that's life and I guess I should get used to it.
I'm also deathly afraid that I'm going to be a horrible counselor. I know that I won't be all that bad, but the thought still lies there bugging me like a fly buzzing around my head. I'm so nervous that I'm going to say the wrong thing, or just not know what to say at all. I keep going over scenarios that may pop up in my head and I guess I should stop doing that; you never know what will pop up on an adolescent psychiatric unit. I'll let you know tomorrow how the first day actually counseling went.
Next is a note on my shear stupidity. This should give everyone a good laugh. The other day I complained of the city spray painting the grass green. Well I was in the car today with my Mom and was complaining about this to her as we passed the guilty grass. She informed me that the green I was seeing was in fact "grass seed". Apparently there is a need for more grass on the neutral ground, so what I was seeing was in fact the seeds that will achieve that task. Wow I'm dumb.
Final observation...I notice that I often start of blogs with the word "so". I know others that do this too. Why is that? I think I may try to avoid that in the future. Kinda makes it sound like the continuation of a conversation...hmm...
And tonight I shall enjoy the Golden Globes though I haven't seen many movies at all this past year. I just hope that Heroes wins best TV show. That show is incredible...very refreshing. And for right now, I will go back to the daunting task of reading the very, very long Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
I think that I've been having too much fun with these labels.

So ... yeah I do it to. COnstantly. Oh well.
I understand about not wanting to be tied to a particular specialty and yet wanting to be a specialist. And I think we always worry about whether we're going to be good at something we've worked hard to achieve. Personally, I think I'm a crummy teacher sometimes--very disorganized & lazy. If it means anything, I think you'll be a great counselor. You're so caring & patient!
thanks Nicole! appreciate the confidence :)
