Day dragging by....

Even tho I have been keeping busy today at work (*sighs* about missing out on more GHII time) the day has dragged by, especially this afternoon.    Plus I know that when I get home, the first thing I must do is write my paper that is due tomorrow night.  Graduate school is great but sometimes it does get in the way of goofing off. 

If I get my behind in gear as soon as I get home...I probably can get the paper written in a few hours.  It is only suppose to be 6 pages (double spaced).  So that isn't too bad.  My paper is on the diagnosis and treatment of Separation Anxiety in children.  The class is counseling children and adolescents.  The class is really good.  We watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape in class.  How often do you get to watch a mainstream type of movie in a class if it isn't a class on films?  We have gotten to try art therapy activities too.  Helps we do all this interactive stuff because it is my late class 7pm to 9:45pm on Thursdays. 

Taking 4 classes this summer.  Wish I didn't have to tho.  I could put one of them off but if I do that I won't be able to have an "easy" 2 class semester next spring....when I will be doing more field work in addition to the classes.  I can actually see the end of the tunnel now and I want desperately to be able to leave my current job but I need this job to pay bills and school expenses (no...my employer isn't paying for school...I am out of my paycheck).  No student loans for me.  I just have to gut it out for another 16 months or so...by that time I will have put in 20 years with my current employer.  I'd say that was long enough..Hopefully at that point I will have located a paid internship and begun earning the remainder of my hours needed to get my license.  I need to get 3000 hours and can only get about 1200 during grad school.  So that leaves 1800 or more (if I wasn't able to obtain the max allowable while still in school).  That sounds like a lot to me right now.
