Anyone know a good THERAPIST?
so today was a really difficult day at work for me. . . i left after only an hour after having a short chat with my supervisor about how some of my interactions with my students may be counter-productive. I think its really difficult for me to swallow that allow the girls to bounce their feelings off of me, letting me comfort them and whatnot as being "bad" for them. What was even worse was being told that these girls were drudging up some of my own personal "issues" with their emotions making me so extremely emotional (thus the crying incident at work today). Sometimes I wonder whether working here was a good choice for me, I'm not sure. If it was possible to find another WS job this far into summer, I think I would try to quite and get another but with my involvement soo far with the girls, I wouldnt wanna change anything. Unfortunately though, for me to be beneficial to them, it means I have to: strengthen up and be less emotional, focus ONLY on the academics and not let my own personal things cloud my judgement. THe other not-so-hot part of it is that I'm gonna need some type of "therapy" while I'm going through this. . .CRAZY huh? sooo we'll see what happens. . .hopefully weekly talks with my supervisor about whats going on with the girls and me will help me out. . I doubt it though. I'm sure there's already a problem when I can relate to the girls better than with the staff. . .I just dont feel like I'm an adult. . .yet. Hopefully working here will be a worthwhile experience when looking back on it. I'm hoping so. If not, it might be a personal emotional challenge for me, testing my strength and other things. . .

oh yeah. . . in a complete separate topics, I made an A in my sociological research class. . YEAH ME!! i'm happy. . .I hope my prof didnt suffer TOO much trying to read my research proposal! And in other news, I can definitely say that when i take risk and whatnot, I have fun. I just think one thing I have to learn is to not take things WAY to seriously and let things progress one day at a time. PLUS, I can take the breathers. . .there's too much food on my plate anyways. . . .
