School is old news. I’d much rather be at work doing things that are directly helping patients than taking classes or working on my dissertation. This week marked the start of my 4th year of graduate school. Needless to say, I have some major senioritis. Being there sorta feels like going through the motions. Being at my externship comes with a different set of feelings. Even if I have to go in to work early, sit at a computer all day, and type reports or score data or whatever, I know that I’m at least making palpable progress. It’s a quicker goal to attain than finishing school, that’s for sure. But alas, I will complete one more year of classes and hopefully put myself in a position to be working full time next year and finally getting some $$$ for my efforts. That day cannot come soon enough!
I recently started reading a book that is enjoyable so far. It’s one of those books where it changes character POV’s each chapter. I like books that do that because the story comes together from many different angles. The main plot is that a senator has an affair and his family has to deal with the aftermath. Shocker, right? Lol.
Oh, one more thing. Last week, I used this computer program to score a projective test that I gave to a patient I worked with, and this program rocks my world! Not only did it calculate all the variables and indices for me, but it also spouted out a whole essay worth of test interpretations in prose. Without this program, it would have taken me hours to score the test and even more hours to come up with interpretations based on every individual score. What an asset!
