I just arrived home from Eric and Ami's house and got my ass whipped while playing the pop culture edition of Trivial Pursuit. I love this game but I underestimated the difficulty of certain questions. I definitely plan to purchase this game soon. Afterward, we just talked for hours about all sorts of topics. Did I mention Eric's father worked as a roadie for the Blue's Magoos in the 60's? Anyway, they allowed me to borrow three DVDs of "Hullaballo" episodes. I am so happy that such nice and genuine people moved to the Bay Area. I hope they decide to stay in California indefinitely.
Other than that, I have been working a lot. I went to supervision today and accepted another new case involving a psychotic woman. I am completely overloaded but I need the money. Plus, none of peers volunteered to test the woman. I think a great deal of the interns fear assessing people with thought disorders but I rather work with this population than with individuals exhibiting depressive symptoms.
Yesterday I continued testing the mother who lost her children after experiencing a panic attack. I think she suffered a psychotic break but she adamantly disagrees. Regardless, it will take me over four sessions to complete the evaluation because she arrives so late to our sessions.
Unfortunately, I did not ride BART to work these past two days. Naturally, the heavy rain fall played a large role but I also failed to obtain a parking space. I enjoy the ease of public transportation and the fact I am somewhat contributing to a healthier environment. However, the cut-throat parking antics of other BART patrons frustrates me. Other drivers have almost crashed into my car while attempting to snag a space from me. Of course the lot fills up by 8:00 AM. If I arrive after 10:00 AM, it remains dubious whether I can park my car. I relinquished my search on Tuesday after circling the lot for 20 minutes.
Anyway, on Monday I started assessing an 11 year-old child. When I asked about her hobbies and favorite television shows, she told me that she loved Lifetime movies! Needless to say, we discussed some of our favorite episodes. Her knowledge about this area completely impressed me! She also recently saw one of my favorites - "Sweet Dreams" starring Tiffani Amber Thiessen. I am not sure why such a young girl would enjoy films geared for suburban housewives but that did not stop us from gushing over the world premiere of "Mom at 16" that evening. Yes, I am the epitome of professionalism. I suppose her affinity for adult programming corresponds to her overall mature demeanor and past behavior. Yet, I question why her foster parents expose to her to these adult themes at an elementary school age. At 11 years of age, I only wanted to watch "Silver Spoons", "Diff'rent Strokes", "Punky Brewster", and "Facts of Life". Sheesh, I had to sneak and watch "Trapper John M.D." in the early 80's. Kids today...
