Turned in my final paperwork today. Given that I'm fairly certain I dotted all my i's and crossed all my t's, I am officially set to graduate next Thursday ( Read more... )

Hello, I am alive and well.

There are things, but most of them would be wordy and overly explanatory about things that make sense in my head, but probably would sound like word mush if I tried to write them out.  I have had an interesting and amazing semester with loads of self-growth.  I learned a lot about myself as a person and counselor, but it ( Read more... )

Took a break from finals Saturday night to go see Thor.  Initially, I was excited to see it because Kenneth Branagh directed it, and I knew he would make it all Shakespearean and shit.  He didn't disappoint.  What he also did was make a superhero movie like I remember them from my childhood, big, operatic, flashy, colorful, melodramatic.  I fucking ( Read more... )

I haven't been around at. all. for the past few days.  Wrapping up Practicum stuff and sickness have put me into apathetic ennui-land.

But I will say I have a Practicum site (YAY!) and it is awesome.  I was actually offered two sites on the same day, but chose the one I was most excited about that I felt did the most good. (note for ffrmusicwench: [and others ( Read more... )

I haven't posted here in...how long has it been?  Not months, or anything, but for a semi-regular poster it feels like something close.

I'm reaching the countdown !!DAYS!! until my Practicum paperwork is due (NO EXCEPTIONS!) and I am still not firmly placed.  This is...something I can't even talk about still because if I think about it too hard, it ( Read more... )

2. I've been thinking some more about Patti Smith's Just Kids, and about how during that time in our cultural history, "art" meant something different, and to be an "artist" created a separate ( Read more... )

I just got one of my midterm papers back with an "excellently written" comment and an A+.  Not just an A, or some random number out of another number, but an actual A+.  Little overachieving sassy girl is dancing.

So .gif post party time!!!!

Celebrate with me.  I don't even care if you're on my flist.  Comment with a .gif, any.gif, as long as it ( Read more... )

So after weeks of arid conditions, during which I log onto LJ only to be greeted by crickets as I shout HELLOOOOO?  HELLLOOOOOOO?!? 
...and get nuthin...
I go away for two days.  Two measly frakkin days, one of which to deal with personal crap (aka, D-I-V-O-R-C-E), and the other spent in academic hell (presentation on reality therapy today, oh my ( Read more... )
