Curse you, Perry the Platypus!
So, I obviously didn't bring home a puppy. I did bring home a kitten. She was a half starved, flea ridden thing that needed a bath and a few good meals. By the time we found her a home, she was an adorable, spoiled calico fluff ball. I miss the cuteness, but I'm glad she found a home. I didn't need one more high maintenence animal.
It's the first week of school and I've been caught up in the various preparations for that (paperwork, financial aid, internship, car pooling, books). My stress level was a bit scary for a while. Now that I'm actually -doing- it and the prep is done, well, its wonderful. My classes (with the possible exception of ethics), are interesting. There's a focus on professional skills that will hopefully pay off and help me feel rather less clueless. My carpool buddy is nice and we get along well. There's possibly a third, we shall see how that goes and if she wants to join in.
Internship could be better, but that's on me. I chose another division of ADAPT (Corrections) and am shadowing a counselor. She's as nice as could be and it's a very pleasant enviroment, I just don't have the counseling background that enables me to be as helpful as I would hope to be somewhere else. I will be attending groups and doing my best though.
Things have worked out better than expected. I have a whole day off a week! As well as hopes of an internship at Child Welfare and then then a Christian based counseling program for Batterers.
