maybe i am not a bad therapist after all :)

So, today was a pretty good day. I worked with several clients today at my internship and we had some pretty damn good sessions. One of the young guys i work with on a regular basis had some really insightful things to say. We are working in his decision making skills and some anger management stuff. It was such a good session and it was the first one of the day, so it increased my self confidence in my skills as a therapist and the rest of the day just got better. one downer for the day was that one of the kids i am working with went to jail yesterday and got suspended from school again today, so i have not been able to work with him on a regular basis. But, overall i am beginning to feel much more comfortable in my skills as a therapist. I am not good yet, but i feel much more at ease with the whole process, which is a great feeling.

Also, during my internship today, i spent some time talking with miriam (you should all know this by now, but she is the woman i do my internship with) today and she has had a history with guys very similar to mine. She meets one, gets her hopes up because they seem really great and then they turn out to be selfish jerks (her words :) anyway, we talked a lot about how she is feeling about this last guy that treated her like crap. i told her that i really admire her for being able to keep coming back for more. A few months ago, i had become very very cynical about guys. things always seemed to go wrong, it was getting harder and harder to continue seeing people that turned out to be not so good. Anyway, i really do admire her for her persistence with the dating scene. I know that there are plenty of women in the world that treat good guys like crap, but i dont hear a lot about that in my circle of friends. It always seems to be that some guy is hurting some girl i care about. It definitley makes me a bit angry to see so many amazing women being screwed over by the guys in their life. I also see it a lot at my internship. sometimes i feel like we have failed the young women of our society. Anyway, i could ramble on about this forever, so i think i am going to hop off my little soap box now. :)

Anyway, when i got home today, i slept from about 5-7:30. it was some good sleep, i was pooped, to say the least. I missed Friends and that sucked, but leslie told me all about it, so it worked out fine. I watched some tv, which i dont get to do very often anymore and now i am getting ready for bed. What a nice evening. :)

I also cancelled my netlix subscirption today. i am just so busy that i am not able to keep up with the movies. It doesnt seem worth it right now. I guess i will have to support that big blue corporate man (blockbuster) for a while longer until i have more time in my life. oh well, what is one to do. Anyway, i am off to the land of dreams. good night.
