back at it
I've been posting a lot lately. At least a lot more than I have these past few months.
I hate that every year about this time it feels I need to start over again. At least in one aspect. Last year had a lot of changes as did the year before. At least this year I'm still in the same place (though it looks like I won't be at the same exact apartment in a few months, but I don't really know) and going to the same school, which is nice. However, the job thing. It's not working. Let's see.. As far as this one kid goes that I [used to] work with - his mom just sort of never returned my calls when trying to find a new time to work with him. She then went on vacation. I have not gotten paid for May yet. I will try to bug her this week since I think she's supposed to be home from vacation. Another kid is starting Kindergarten a week from tomorrow, so his mom wants to stop therapy. Next week is my last week. So, after that, I only work with one kid, for one session that last two hours. I drive all the way to Nashville for that one. (Which, it's not too bad b/c I go directly to Vandy afterward). However, the Vandy job.. Well, it does have a lot of perks, but I do drive a long way to do something I don't like and is not related to my degree. I like the people who work there, though. But.. It's just not right..
I've sent in my resume to two places. One is some sort of adoption agency or something in Shelbyville, who need someone to do behavioral interventions. Something of the sort. Shelbyville is about 40-45 minutes away.. Which isn't great, but I don't know.. The other one I just sent my resume to.. It's in Lebanon, which is apparently 35-40 minutes away. I mean, why can't I find something in Murfreesboro?
I was hoping to have an assistanceship for the fall. But, no. I don't.
So, I don't know what I'll do about the job situation. I will have to take on more hours at Vandy, though. Damnit.
I have been working (sort of) hard on my thesis. I did write four article summaries this week. I read three or four articles and ordered some articles on Interlibrary Loan as well as located three articles at the the library and copied them. I also sent my thesis advisor 5 articles. However, the sad thing is, I've been home a lot more often because I don't have classes right now and I know I could have done more than that. I watched TV while writing some of these reviews. Therefore, I could have done more. But I'm being hard on myself.
Last week I went to the Rec Center w/ Matt three times. We stayed at least an hour each time. (One time I think we stayed longer). We walked around a track, rode exercise bikes, lifted weights with various machines as well as free weights, and I did this crazy uphill ski thing that completely wore me out. I was proud of myself that I went, I went more than once, I went multiple times in a week, and I stayed for a whole hour or more each time.
Last Sunday I went to the Parthenon to get my culture. Haha.
I've been trying to read something, but the book I choose of my vast array of books I need to read, is sort of boring me. I also have a bunch of psychology related books given to me, but I just don't want to read those right now. I want something that's not related to psych for right now. I don't know what to read. I have been reading more of one of my Mental Floss books, though. But that's not a book you have to read continuously or anything because it's just a bunch of different topics with different facts.
Oh.. I've actually been taking my vitamins.. This is because I switched to chewable vitamins. One-A-Day are just too big and too hard to swallow. Viactive multivitamins are good, especially the chocoloate cherry flavor I have now. My paternal grandmother told me I should take calcium.. I'm not sure if I should now or not. My grandmother tends to be overprotective and freak out about a lot of stuff.. So I'm not sure if I would have to take them at this age or what. I'm sure it won't hurt, but vitamins are expensive and if I don't need to right now, I don't want to pay for it.
Well, I better go to bed now.
