So I'm sitting here trying to figure out what classes to take next semester and I'm stumped. I have finally gotten to the point where I have taken most of my required courses. This makes me feel very accomplished. I'm going to try to do my fieldwork next semester working in a clinic with families of abused children. Hopefully this won't be to emotionally gut wrenching for me because I have to also put massive amounts of energy into Quantitative Methods. I have been putting off this class for as long as I could but it has gotten to the point where I just have to take that class and a lab and then I will be done with my major....finally.
However, I am terrified that I won't be able to get into a graduate school. I decided to get my masters in art therapy which would require me to take 18 studio art credits. That means that after I graduate next year (I better) I will probably apply to middlesex and take those classes. I want to move in with Doug after I finish school but with my dad not helping me pay for school anymore I will probably live at home and wait tables longer then I would like to. But yea, I am terrified that no graduate school will take me because I have fucked up 3 years of my college career.
Oh but it doesn't end at getting my masters I also have to get various certificates and such in order to have my own patients. Not to mention the therapy I will have to go through so that I will have worked on the majority of my stuff. It took me four years to realize it but I really do want to become a therapist.
