Potential Interview!!!

So I got a call from my advisor today tell me he would like me to call the Hospital and set up an interview in the Adult Unit at the Mental Health Unit for my internship next year.

Please let me tell you how excited I am right now!!!

I know it may sound kind of scary working in the mental health adult unit, but this is what I love to do.
Today I am going to go shopping for a new interview outfit, touch up my resume and start trying out some professional hairstyles!!

My hair is super long right now because I am growing it out to donate it, so I am thinking up somehow.
I will post some pictures for advice!!!

The women was not in so a left a message for her on her voicemail! Hopefully I will hear back soon!!!!

xoxo.


Add: She called me back! Interview on Thursday!!

Dear Friday May 8th: Come Quick!

My fabulous blog twin, Christy, told me to just breathe!! She is awesome, but I'm having a hard time even remembering that breathing is not an option because typing papers has become more of an unconscious function compared to anything else. I have been in the computer lab since around 4pm, taking a break to play volleyball for an hour and writing in my blog because if I don't do something my paper will turn in the mumble jumbles and that is no good!!

Positives of today:

We won our volleyball game.

My boyfriend finally came to do hw with me.

My boyfriends 6th month present & birthday presents came.

I began to think about double mastering.

Went out to eat with my boyfriend, his brother and aunt, uncle and cousings that I have never met this morning.

Negatives of today:

6 hours of sleep

Will be up until about 2am.

Did not get to go for my run this morning

I have 4 complete pages of my paper done and it needs to be 12. However, I am not worried about making my paper long enough, I am worried about my paper being too long. I bet some students would be like, "wow, must be nice" however, this has been a common theme in my graduate experience thus far! It is getting annoying. I'm sorry but summing up everything I have learned about being a multiculturally competent counselor through 10 interviews in 12 papers is not easy.

My day tomorrow:

Wake up between 6 or 6:30am

Get ready in less than one hour

Head straight to the computer lab

Work diligently until 3:45pm

Class from 4 to 9:45pm

Pass out asap.

Sweet day huh? Rinse, & Repeat until basically May 8th.

On Friday, I hope to run the 2.5 mile that I was suppose to run today, so I am really looking forward to that.

I also CAN NOT WAIT until my boyfriend and my 6th months. I think he is going to love his presents [see previous posts to see what it is]. I also need to buy some more think to make the present complete!!!

How is everyone's week? I can not believe it is Wednesday night already time flew this week for me because for once I craved the week not to fly by.

Just a little thought to leave you guys with:

xoxo.

Dear Friday: Come quick!!

With the end of the semester nearing, I am completely swamped with readings & papers and seriously can not wait for this semester to be over. Today I spend 6 hours in the computer lab perfecting my papers that are due tomorrow and Thursday.

2 down, 1 to go!
Ugh, my next paper is most likely going to be my most difficult paper to write as well. I intend on at least getting my introduction done tonight & then working on it all day and night tomorrow and completing the final touches and editing on Thursday before class at 4.


I honestly, did not even procrastinate.
There is just never ending amount of work!

Oh, well, I am complaining because of pure exhaustion, from lack of sleep last night and annoying responsibilities, but in reality I am so thankful for everything I am able to do in my life right now!


Tomorrow:

Run two is planned;
I am thinking of a 2.5 mile run at 7am!!
Meeting with a reference librarian at 9:30;
to look over my annotated bibliography
Computer lab;
to work on my paper & meet my group partner to plan the last part of our group.
Class 1 to 4;
we are leading a group where we break boards with our hands- it is to symbolize breaking through barriers to achieve our goals!! [I am so excited]
Then back to the library to finish up my paper.

Right now, I am popping in my contacts & heading over to my volleyball game! Hopefully we win =]

xoxo.

A major let down!!!

Dear readers of my blog,


Today an atrocity has occurred to me.

Jack Johnson will be performing at Madison Square Garden
on Wednesday July 14th 2010 and I can NOT go!!

Ugh! Perhaps this is not a big deal to you, but it is to me. Jack Johnson, while being amazingly rugged and good looking is my favorite singer and he NEVER comes to New York. So you can imagine my pure disappointment in finding out it is on the same day as orientation at my school, in which is work at!!!

Look he is even for the environment as well!!! What an amazing guy. I suppose my only hope is that he will stumble across this blog and come back to New York next year, when I will with out a doubt be able to go!!

I had a great counseling session today. I always get really nervous when I go to counsel my classmate because I know I am being graded but I think I did amazing today!!!

Currently I am now waiting for my cute boyfriend to pack and get ready for tomorrow! It is going to be a great day of presents and family =]

I love home!!

I will be back blogging Sunday night or Monday morning.

Have an amazing weekend everyone!!!

Guilty 9am Wakeup & Rain Ruined Runs

Sorry about no blog post yesterday. Thursdays I have class from 1pm to 10pm so when i got home, I was just ready to relax with my boyfriend & pass out!!

I don't know when I entered the stage in my life that I felt guilty to be waking up at 9am but today when I saw my phone saying 9am- I truly felt guilty like I needed to be up earlier!!

So what does it mean when you start feeling guilty about not being up earlier?
However, I was up at 6am, I was going to get ready for my usual Friday 6am run, but looking out the window and seeing the downpour of rain that was going on put a damper on some things. So I waited for my boyfriend to get up and get ready for his first day of work today at his new job!!! Then I fell back asleep from 7am to 9am! I will be going for a run later tonight around 7pm at the gym, but I feel so out of it now.

Tonight is also Trivia Night at my school- hopefully my boyfriend and I can go and kick some butt. Last time we won 50 bucks! That bought me some awesome new pairs of pants from Forever 21!

My day basically consists of::
Getting ready
Computer Lab or Library to work on my Paper
Lunch
Errands
Back to the computer lab
Gym at around 7pm-8pm
Wash Up
Trivia Night
Packing for home tomorrow!
My Niece's 4th Birthday party is tomorrow & I can not wait to come home and see my family!
My little hippie!
So there will probably be no blogging from me until Sunday night- I might be able to do one more tonight, but I will not bring my computer home- so I apologize a head of time!!
However, I will have tons of pictures to post when I get back!! =]

Exhaustion- Fiji Plans & What's in My Bag

So my new blog twin Christy, from 25 before 25, and I are seriously contemplating making the move to Fiji!! I mean come on now, we could live and train for marathons on the beach, and drink Fiji water!!

Just look at this amazing picture:

The only thing really keeping us is our love of the Mets and our intense dedication to school!! No biggie right?!

So today I have spent legit 5 hours in the computer lab reading through all of my articles on Group Counseling in Prisons- Pretty interesting subject in the context of group therapy-

Don't ya think!?,
well regardless that is my topic and I am pretty sure I will be able to get that paper started Friday, get it done by Friday evening. Then while I am home Saturday and Sunday I have time to work on my Multicultural Paper and then on all Monday I will be working on my Career Counseling on career counseling with Veterans. Then I have all Tuesday to edit the the group paper and wednesday to edit the multicultural and career paper and then I am done!!! Well at least with the ton of work that is kicking my butt!! Not to mention on top of all of this I have a ton of graduate assistantship work I need to do.

I am still ridiculously stressed. Blogging helps though thank goodness!!
So I decided after seeing some other blogs that I would do a What's in my Bag to perhaps lighten up my stressed mood!


So My Guess Bag Is My One Splurge.
I felt slightly guilty after I bought it and had to call my mother to have her justify that it was okay for me!! I am such a dork!

So from top left to right:
My Nine West Wallet bought new after my trip to PA!
My Camera Case in which my camera was obviously used to take this picture
My check book in which I remembered that I needed to write a check when i took it out!

Bottom left to right:
My manicure set (I bite my nails, and have broke the habit so I have to file when I break my nail)
Nyquil- I had the worst illness a couple weeks ago.
My key to my study room in the library.
My Paris Hilton Can Can perfume stick
My baby blue pen
Floss
Hand Sanitizer
My keys to my brand new Toyota Corolla
Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Trips thanks to my Key West trip and the sunscreen
& Of course my Blackberry!

That pretty much sums it up.
I am looking forward to Friday to get in at least a 2mile run if not 3.

Wish me luck =]
