Maybe I'm mentally drained... But I didn't do much! All I did was a 9 page research paper on a very interesting topic: Mental Health services access for Older Adults (65+). Maybe it's the heat and the mental work. I hate the way the new Galileo is set up. Thank goodness someone told me of scholar.google.com. My partner asked me if that was how I ( Read more... )

I knew I wouldn't have enough time to order and eat at one of my current favorite restaurants before class today since I'll barely get out of work on time. Plus the restaurant is so popular, waits are known to be 15 mins long. This particular restaurant has a webservice where people can order online and just pick up their food. Just completely ( Read more... )

It's amazing what I can comprehend.... IF I'D JUST SIT LONG ENOUGH TO READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH! I took a nice brisk 2 mile walk today which helped clear my head. It probably helped shake out those cobwebs too. When I got back, I sat still and read the syllabus all the way through.... If I read it right, it turns out I don't have as much reading as ( Read more... )

Or, Certified Patient Account Representative. I've decided that this is going to be alternate route in case things don't go the way I'm hoping they will. The exam seems easy enough. It kind of reminds me of the GRE. The GRE wasn't bad at all. Only thing is I have to wait until July before the new exams are scheduled. That's fine. I'll be back in ( Read more... )

So my dad asked me to rake up the remaining pine straws in out back yard and put them on the curb before the impending rain came in and killed the grass under the pile I made late last week. And clean our front porch railings. They were looking kinda dingy. So I made a deal with myself. I would do all these things if I sent an Email to my volunteer ( Read more... )

I think it’s safe to say I’m caught in that endless cycle

wake up, played Little Big Planet, eat, play some more Little Big Planet, fret about not making enough money for bills, play Little Big Planet to ignore reality, sleep.

To top it off, I got a disheartening email informing me that a position I’ve applied for in a medical setting has been filled ( Read more... )

I remember how a friend of mine who has since graduated decided to take bio statistics at GSU as a transient student because it was so hard at our own university. I don't know how I managed to pass. I never knew of the transient option. Then again, I never had to consider it as an option before. I have to take a communication course for my degree. ( Read more... )

So for my masters, I had to do a practicum. I attempted it once... possibly too early in my grad work because I didn't pass the 1st half. The practicum is divided into 2 semesters. I wasn't exactly clear on what I was supposed to do and I missed out on a lot of work. So I gained a "U", Unsatisfactory. The first semester I was supposed to gain 50 ( Read more... )

It's kinda hard to see the light when you are surrounded by dark. I've been out of school for the past 2 semesters and I know it's starting to weigh on me. After completing my practicum in the spring, I was absolutely burnt out and just couldn't deal with the "less than stellar results" I felt from it. I wanted it to be so successful that people ( Read more... )

I remember a time when my name was put into the newspaper for academic accomplishments. Being recognized by my community for my hard work was a good feeling. One of my peers just recently recieved recognition from our undergrad alma mater: Graduate of the Last Decade Award at Valdosta State University. I'm really happy, too, to see that he's an ( Read more... )
