sometimes I sit and realize I am in grad school. I am a grad student. I never thought I'd make it this far. And I think that's pretty cool.

I have two hours to write a 3-4 pg paper and film a 5-7 minute power point. So, instead I take cool pics for my tumblr.

I'm in grad school.

I was able to go to one of my favorite cafes and do some prep for teaching a MANDT class. MANDT is a de-escalation training that focuses on the protection of client and staff and really emphasizes the dignity of a person and is very trauma-focused.

When studying, have a good game plan.

In the first 10 minutes, write down a plan of what you want to do that session. Then, spend 30 minutes studying said material. 5 minute break. Then 30 more minutes. Do this 4-5 times a week and give yourself 1-2 days of a break to help absorb this.

Or you could speed run it and cram it all in two hours before the exam.

I hate feeling so stuck in my career. I want to be more confident in myself and my skills. I'm so focused graduating. The next logical step is working towards my LCSW, but I don't think I'm ready.

I still have so much to learn at my current position but it won't necessarily be clinical and it won't help me get my LCSW. But I can learn leadership skills, improve my knowledge of local resources, and my organizational skills.

I think I just don't feel ready to work with anyone on a clinical level.

spending sunday night doing a paper and i've re-read the same line over and over. the words are blurring and blending together. I got half the research done and it's due in 18 minutes. I think maybe I should just take the late grade. it's better than no grade.

Just got back from visiting my mother. It was her birthday today and I hadn't seen her in a while. Now, I am in my pajamas and in bed getting ready to do some homework. Today is the last day of my Skills Lab that I had to take before my internship starts in may. I am on week 6 of my other two classes. One has an A and one has a B. I just hope I can keep up the momentum. I am pretty optimistic that I will be able to, now that hypo is over. However, with the warmer weather, my mental health seems to have taken a turn.
