Oh, this is love
I'm currently at my internship. And I just realized that I might not have mentioned that I was starting one, so I'll start with that. It is mandatory (and necessary) to do an internship going into the second year in grad school. The director for the clinical program had taken forever last semester to tell me whether I'd be interning or not so I pretty much the up on the idea. Well a week before the summer sessions were supposed to start, i was taking care of the psych buildings main office on my last day of work where he comes up and tells me that he's 'arranged it so that Daniel (a...guy from my program who I hesitate calling a friend because he infuriates me sometimes) and I can start our internship at the University Counseling Center. I just started this past Tuesday and it's been okay so far. I haven't done much except read manuals. I did get to sit in on a triage session which is basically a introductory interview type session where the client gets to talk a bit about the problem. If the client is visibly upset, it's to be treated as an emrgency. I can't discuss the reason for the clients visit but I felt so bad for her. It made me realize some things.
I didn't think many students used this free service here but I am so glad they do. I'm a bit terrified for when I have to start doing triage, intakes and actual therapy. Once the ppl here heard that Daniel and I have had our courses in assessments and psychotherapy, you'd think we'd told them we can cure diseases or something. I'm worried but also excited about finally doing something to what want to do. Wish me luck!
As for everything else: Erick and I are great-he's enjoying his summer vacationwhile I slave away haha. I am still horribly obsessed with everything Doctor Who and Twilight. Erick got me Series 1 of DW for my birthday which I LOVE! I bought myself Series 2 which means I now own all of the new series! Yay me! I'm now starting from the original series with William Hartnell from 1963 which I am also loving and will probably own one day too LOL.
I'm sad though that after this years Christmas episodes, it'll mark the last of David Tennants run as the Doctor as well as Russell T Davies' at writing :( I'm sure I'll like matt smith but it's sad; I got really attached to his character. I get really attached to characters.
Oh oh well, off to read and I'll probably post more later.
Hope you're having a great day!
