I am officially a deliquent blogger :)

I believe that I have been doing more private jounaling this week than blogging. :) Well, i'm back. What a week? It has been exhausting, yet wonderful. I am feeling very sick (a cold, i believe). I think that is what happens when you push yourself the way that I did this week. I spent as much time with Michael this week as our schedules would allow. Between classes, after classes, before classes...it was all great. he even cooked me some soup yesterday after class since i was feeling sick. I am not talking canned soup, i am talking cut up potatoes and veggies and chicken. It was delicious. He even sent some home with me to eat tonight. What a sweetie. :) I wont share much about Michael and I (that is for us), but i will say the one thing (among many) I really appreciate about him is his openness and honesty.

classes were pretty interesting this week. In one of my classes, we had a guest speaker on homosexuality. It was a very well laid out presentation, i enjoyed it. It reminded me of my presentation days at the rape crisis center. good time reminiscing. In another of my classes, we met at Women's Haven (the battered women's shelter in Fort Worth). It was a very interesting experience. It hurt a lot to see all those women and children there and it hurt even more to imagine what they have had to go through to finally get to a shelter. I try not to be angry at this world, especially in my chosen field, but sometimes it is so hard because you seem so much heartache. These women and children have done nothing wrong, yet they are forced to live in a shelter because that is the only safe place for them to be. What a crazy world. It was a tough night.

My internship this week has been quite the up and down mess. Wednesday was great. I really felt like I had a break through with one of my clients. I finally felt like I knew what questions to ask. Then, today, I did not feel so good about meeting with another client. I feel like we are at a stand still. She wants to keep seeing me, but i cant seem to figure out what she needs me to help her with. i believe she is depressed and i cant seem to help her. I have been trying to remember what it felt like to me when i was depressed in high school. I just cant seem to get back to that feeling. anyway, i am going to sit on it for the weekend and hopefully come up with something great for next week.

tonight, I am just taking it easy, watching some friends, will & grace, and ER season premiers. YEAH!! I think i am going to hit the sack early so I can be fully ready for work tommorrow and maybe i can beat this cold.
