It’s hardly seemed like Lent this year, mostly because I’ve not been going to church. Josh and the kids had evening service with supper beforehand while I left around 5 to pick something up and head to class. I’ve definitely been drinking more coffee these days but resisted the urge to buy another hot drink. I love the isolation and community of student life. Being independent and joining up for a time with fellow learners.

The girls in my class are completely done and all graduating. Everyone just kind of sits there with tired looks on their faces. I’m definitely ready for a break and am looking forward to the off month. The summer term is 8 weeks, then another month off in August, then 16 more weeks until the end of the fall term. I registered this past Monday for my three remaining classes and am actually really looking forward to taking them.

Research Methods, Foundations of Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Neurobiology of Trauma. Plus the internship video class with the professor I had over the summer. I’m hoping to redeem myself and have a little bit more to show him other than thrown together panel and C earning term paper that I wrote with a partner for our trauma class that was about chronic illness but had nothing in the paper about trauma.

Somehow we completely overlooked that part. I think we both still ended up with A’s so it didn’t really matter. I can’t decide yet if I still care about the grades. It’s going to depend how this present class goes. If I get my grid done, and my multicultural video done which I almost have done, then I will have completely all of my video requirements and will only have to present a regular video with the basic form. I like doing videos.

I’m schedule to do the assessment with the police officer this week. If he shows up, and we complete our two hours, I will be three-fourths of the way done with my individual hours thanks to the hours I readily gathered at Contact. My group hours were done months ago and I have about 60 direct hours left minus the 30 from the remaining individual ones. Going to group will count as direct and we will see with the others.
