I recently read this book for class and it got me thinking a lot about myself. Ironically. Because the book is all about how those of us in this generation were raised to think we're super special and unique and, therefore, have really high self-esteem and can border on being narcissistic at times. It also talked about how we have very high expectations for our lives (in terms of making money, having a movie-like relationship, and generally feeling fulfilled in every realm of life), but don't necessarily put the work into meeting those expectations because we don't feel like we have to (because we're super special and unique). We then become depressed when life doesn't meet our expectations. It was just really good and gave me a lot to think about.
So the semester is completely over for me now and I am oh-so-happy about that. I got As in all three classes, which also makes me happy. Work is over for a solid two weeks, but I think I'm going to go into Heartland next week to attend some SOAR sessions and talk to Matthew about my practicum, because I feel like I don't fully know what I'll be doing next semester still. Thinking about practicum stresses me out because I know I'll be advising and I still don't feel competent enough to do that. I'm nervous because before I'm advising on my own, Matthew will be sort of supervising me while I'm meeting with students and that's just so nerve-racking. I just need to do a really good job because Cecilia has mentioned again to me that it might turn into something full-time, though I'm not getting my hopes up about it. That'd basically be ideal, though.
So the plan for the next few weeks is to watch a lot of The Tudors and a lot of other random movies that will be coming via Netflix. I love that that's all I have to do! Oh... and spend time with my family and my boyfriend. :)
