This is the first week I’ve tried to really push the hours and I’m not sure I like it. I don’t like when things take over my mind and cause me to put main things on the back burner. Yes I would like to be finished by the end of summer if possible, but at the same time, this going into sites and showing a video when I need to is going to be so second nature I don’t think it’d be much of a deal at all to finish this up with other classes.

So as much as it drives me nuts, it’s just not worth it to me to do any more than I’m doing. At Contact I have access to a steady flow of direct hours and at Thrive I’m supposed to do my first assessment tomorrow. I really hope he shows up. Today I did a mock assessment and then sat in on a session. So often when I observe sessions I like the person instantly. It was the same way today. I come away excited about doing this.

I told the boss at Contact that I’m not doing the case work. That would’ve been too much pressure as it didn’t sound like something I could easily pick up. I did say I would still do simpler tasks like thank you notes and those sorts of things. So next week I’m supposed to do some of that. Basically I can get more hours here and there without needing to obsess. I really like the variety that I am getting with both experiences.
