weeks 36 to 39

Yes, I am still here. I think I underestimated the amount of time my new job would take. The number of paid hours isn't that much, but as I reenter the world of counselling, I feel the need to spend a lot of time analyzing my sessions and formulating intervention plans for my different clients. I have felt confident in my role and have really enjoyed this age group and the variety of issues that arise in the college setting. There are so many new experiences for people - being away from home, the increased study demands, the shift in having more mature relationships with others. This has been such a good move for me.

Of course I am really missing my hobbies. I have pictures waiting to scrapbook and photos that need to be edited and developed. Let's not even talk about planning for Christmas. I am usually so much more organized at this point. I have been able to keep somewhat disciplined in getting my evening runs in. I try to read every night before bed (sometimes too late) and have gotten some journalling done on my photo a day album. So, here are a few pages to share. This brings me to the end of September. That doesn't seem too bad, does it?
