I just completed a really long blog...and I am frustrated because I lost it. So, this one may not be as in detail...less bull for you to read through if you will. School is back, stress is back. Seems like the break was not long enough. I have lighter course load but that is compensated by the fact that I am seeing individual clients, leading groups, supervising, etc. Between practicum and the Ridge..can you say mental fatigue??

Currently, I have been feeling sad and disappointed. Long, numerous stories. I am learning that I am human and I make mistakes..but I am incredibly hard on myself at times. I am trying to pull everything together and focus on work and school. i.e. no dating. I have went on a few dates and worked at meeting people..I have put my heart out with no return. Friends are welcomed, but unless "mr. right" falls out of the sky onto my path to work or school and screams stop..then i will probably not discover him. To be honest, this whole "mr. right" and "the one" thing is overrated (yes..hear it? the bitterness is returning). Yes, I am lonely..yes, I long for companionship..yes it seems like everyone I know has a significant other...but I suppose it's just not happening for me at this time and I can not force it that is for sure. For now, love life = no existent. Speaking of companionship, I think I will be waiting until the summer for a dog..perhaps I will have time for training then.

O.k. I am going to bed now. After assessing a suicidal patient at the ER and rewriting my blog twice..it is bed time.
