Good Day

I'm very happy tonight. I've got so much work done, it's unbelievable. The bleak day or my soreness didn't stop me from working... :)

I hope everyday is like today... If that is the case, I'll be finished with my masters by the end of the semester. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best...

I frequently meet with undergraduates nowadays... I hope I'm helping them as much as they're helping me with my research. I really try hard to keep them occupied and to keep the gears in their heads turning... I know school and work can sometimes slow our brain more than they keep it active -- sad but true... speaking from experience.

I might be seeing a concert in Chicago this weekend. If all falls into place, I'd see one of my favorite singers in Chi-town. I don't like driving and parking there though... :T

Anyhow, time to say Hasta la vista...

Gloomy Day

I just woke up from sleeping 11 hours... nicest slumber I've had in a while. I'm still sore and I'm not sure if it will go away anytime soon.

I look out the window and all I see is the gloomy weather... not a good day for people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I'm glad I was able to do a lot of work yesterday; I'm planning to do more today.

Tomorrow I'll be in court to attend a hearing for a client. I hope all goes well.

President's day yesterday.. and we had classes! How ironic is it to not honor the dead presidents in the land of Lincoln!!! Yeah, I'm bitter that we didn't get a day off... work work work work work...

I might have another entry by tonight.. depending on how well this day goes.. :)

TATA

Pain...

I am so sore right now; I don't even get why. I feel like I'm about to have chills. I woke up, read a little, did some homework and worked out...then I ate dinner with friends... that's it. I'm not sure why my body's aching. Maybe I'm getting sick--I really hope not, though.

I'm feeling a little down. I think my mental abilities are declining... I can't even produce good thought papers anymore--not that others' are great either, but I think I can do better. I'm not sure what it will take... *pondering*

I have some work to do for tomorrow, but I think I'm going to bed early and get up early to do work. I can't take my muscle pain anymore.

Hookah Night @ Nargile

The day came and go, it seems... Had an excruciating 4-hour training, followed by an afternoon filled with running errands around town.

Today was nice and sunny, though the temperature was a bit cold for my taste. It was clear, nonetheless.

Tonight, after doing some work @ Aroma, a couple of friends and myself had some Hookah time @ Nargile. Mango is tonight's chosen flavor. Pretty good, I thought. The place was packed; we left early... around midnight... and called it a day.

Tomorrow I have some catching up to do with my workout. I haven't been to the gym in a while. My apartment's a mess and I have a month's worth of laundry to do. :T I'm not looking forward to that.

Day is done, gone the sun... nighty night.

The Clinician's Bible

Good news. After much research (flipping through the DSM-IV) and googling on the internet, and with a little help from my friend, I finally figured out what's wrong with my client. Now, I'm more confident of my assessment report :) On to the next client, shall we?

OK, back to the real world. The Flyin' Illini won today against Wisky... that's the second good news.

Geesh, I feel such a dork walking on campus to get to the parking lot tonight (and last night). So many undergrads partying. I can't believe there's a line outside Joe's. Such a party school. Don't these kids have midterms to study for?

Valentine's day is in a couple of days... guess what I'm doing! More work! :T

Speaking of work, I better get back to it... Until next time...

Saturday Morning Procrastination

It's officially Saturday (past midnight) and I'm spending my lonely hours at work. Report due tomorrow and I'm nowhere near the end. Hopeless...

I'm tired and wanting some sleep which, I'm embarrassed to admit, I got a lot of last night. "I should have been making progress," so says my diligent conscience. Too bad it's just my conscience--you're not the boss of me now! (lol). I'm not crazy--at least, not yet.

I need to be going back to work, doing more investigative stuff--whatever that means.

-good night/ good morning

Five O'clock

Five o'clock again. I dread this time the most because as most people are happily turning off their computers and getting ready to leave their offices, I still have a whole night of work ahead of me. I mean, I know I slacked off enough in the past few days to make me culpable, but still why can't I get one of those jobs?

My interview this morning went well. I thought I was running late, but then again so was the person interviewing me... so I guess she's correct in saying that we have a lot of things in common. I might be assigned to the health clinic on campus; that means I'll be seeing undergraduate and graduate students needing therapy--that'll be a different environment, I guess. At least no more long reports to write up.

The assessment training that I just got back from was quick and dirty. It was informative and helpful, nonetheless. Now I just have to pass the test. :|

Tomorrow I have a community (town-hall) meeting to go to in the morning... at 8am! As if going to class on Fridays are not torturous enough. I just hope it's entertaining... enough to keep me awake, at least.

Will be writing more later... Ciao~

The New Year

Happy New Year... Happy Chinese New Year! I just realized this will be my first post after the holidays. Life's back to normal; school, work--the usual. So, year of the Rooster. I sure hope that this year is prosperous; Year of the Rooster is said to bring lots of financial burden on people--I hope not.

Interview tomorrow for a practicum that I'm applying for for next year. I don't think it's a big deal. I just hope I get a good placement.

I am not very productive tonight. Wednesdays are my busy days and when I get home I just want to do nothing... that's exactly what I did tonight. But I really need to get moving on my second assessment report.

Anyhow, I just want to wish everyone a happy, peaceful, and prosperous New Year!

nighty night.
