LTNS again?
I know I know. I'm never around. I miss writing sooo freaking much. I really want to write fanfiction again. But I just get so freaking tired of looking at the computer these days that most of the time I just spend the time daydreaming the story instead of writing it. I think it is because on some level I get sick of writing classwork, and then when I go to write for pleasure I feel guilty that I'm not working on classwork.
I have about a year left of regular classwork, then after that I have to start interning somewhere. I passed my first Colloquium though! He said I'm on target for where a counselor in training would be at this stage in their professional and personal development.
XD amusingly though on the fanfic front, my 17 year old daughter is a fan of the pre-52 DC universe, particularly the Flash fandom. Specifically Wally West and the Rogues. (I can't stomach 52. I can't even pretend to be interested.) She's bugging me to finish my fics on the harddrive for the Rogues.
My new classes should be interesting at least. Assessment Tests and Measures and Principles of Psychopathology. The new textbook for the Principles of Psychopathology includes the new DSM-V, which I have access too through school, but I haven't bought a new copy of yet. /facepalms/ I'll have to get it eventually though!
In related news, I'm supposed to roleplay as a counselor more often with people I know. The problem is, no one I know is willing to take it seriously enough to not be idiotic. Or, on the other side of it, they want to be too "real" which gets into shady areas where I cannot give therapy yet, so getting into real life issues is a bad idea because I'm not authorized to give therapy as yet. /headdesk/ That was always a problem with roleplay games too, back in the day. Often people brought real life issues into the game and got offended or upset by other players reactions. I also did this. (Part of my training is being self-aware, and boy did I fuck up often in the past!) I mean, we knew OOC should not cross IC, but it still happened to our pain and frustration. To any and all I played with in the past that I might have done that to? I apologize wholeheartedly.
Anyway, that's me for now. I'm off for the summer from driving a school bus, but still doing the school thing. Still working on my Master's for Mental Health Counseling.
