psych history

school sucks but every now and then you fall upon some rad stuff, as follows:

"Do not just live, live with passion. Do not live a planned, orderly life; take chances. Even the failures that may result from taking chances [can] be used to enhance personal growth."

Nietzsche ruled pretty hard. He was a strong advocate of passion, courage, irrationality and insight. Go Nietzsche! 

STUDY BREAK = watching Juno for the bajillionth time, best movie!

Halloween

Brought the lil' bro trick'or'treatin, best times! He was so excited that he ran from house to house, did most houses twice, and fell on his face about 15 times (never cried once, only busted his flash-light). 

school forever

school has never been so invasive. annoying honours psych research and stats classes, along side other more manageable classes, and my stage, are overrrrload. ugh. oh well I guess I will just have to be in school forever, and thats ok, I'm learning some pretty rad stuff. 

oh, and stage rules. met with a client for the first time the other day (after being in training for over a month). administered some standardized tests. writing a report about them now. I'm part of an intervention team, and surprisingly have a lot more responsibility then I thought I would. I get to meet with people, conduct an assessment, write a report about them (some of which have been mandated by court and will be read by a judge), and then I get to discuss with the clinical psychologist whom I am assisting about recommendations for the client. again, learnin' more rad stuff.

  

Thanksgiving

pappy, my hero. 

Thanksgiving was pretty rad this year.  

fridays

the single life has been teaching me a lot about myself. last friday, I stayed in and dloaded all the get up kids albums, listened to them, and went to bed. tonight, I found a vegan recipe for banana oatmeal chocolate chip  cookies, bought all the proper vegan ingredients (including the right margarine and sugar), then made them, and now I am going to bed soon. 

getting to know myself has been interesting.

Iron Maiden, friends, fire works (all for FREE)... so life pretty much rules.

SUMMER KAMP FOR THE WIN!

let it be known that I love my life. summer kamp (yes, with a k, because it's kamp kinema at the westmoutn Y) has just begun this week, and I truly believe it is the best job in the world. I work with the most rad and nice people, my boss is amazing, I got the age group I wanted, my co-councilor is the best, and life rules as a whole when you are there. we play games, eat food, chill, and bond, all day, everyday. wooo AMAZING! LOVE LIFE!
