1 day till 2nd Semester starts

I'm so very excited. The break was nice but I am ready to get back to having a routine.

I started seein a counselor two weeks ago and I had to laugh when he said, "You don't know how to relax, do you"? Uh....no. Pretty much I don't. The only time I can unwind and not think about stuff is when I'm with my boyfriend and we're hanging out. I finally got to truly relax New Years Day playing Sorry Sliders and Rook most of the day. I had a great time with him and his parents playing games. The kids were playing and watching movies and the grown ups got to hang out. I stayed in my PJs until 6pm when we decided to go to the store to get something for dinner.

Now I'm trying to get geared up for the next semester. I'm hoping that Mental Health will be pretty straightforward and Family will be a lot like NC1.

I'm nervous about how clinicals will be for mental health since we're mixing classes. I really hope we don't end up mixed up with the other class. They don't seem very friendly. I've only talked to a few of them but the rest just stare at us like we're aliens!

I vow to not be like that with the next group. We all wear the same scrubs - we're on the same team. Just because I got in a semester sooner doesn't make me any better than they are!

I can't believe at the end of this semester we will be halfway done! That's AWESOME! I wish we had classes over the summer so we could graduate in December but oh well. I have to take Micro so I don't get a big break anyway. Just have to make my financial aid money last through the summer so I don't have to get a job.

I am SOOOOOOOOO ready to graduate and get out of my living situation. My anger and frustration is at an all time high here. The only place I have to have any sanctuary is a 10x10 bedroom and even that doesn't stifle the loud TV and the louder screaming in the house.

Oh well....it's only temporary right?
