i've been thinking a lot about new years, and resolutions, and debating whether i wanted to bother with them at all. but i'm a sucker for the idea, and i'm sentimental enough to appreciate the beauty in the promise of renewal that the new calendar represents. however, anyone who knows me well knows that i must mull things over for ages before anything actually comes of it. but today, i've finally beat back procrastination and settled down to write something -- and so it is with wide eyes and an optimistic heart that i begin the new year -- nearly two months late -- with these goals in mind.

( here we go. )

school stuff:

-661 presentation - 25 april

-642 presentation - 27 april
-meeting with group: 22 april 5 pm young library

-661 theory paper, 12 pages - 2 may

-642 case report, 5-8 pages - 3 may
-meeting with meghan to administer assessments: soon, depending on work schedule

-642 reaction paper 3, 5-8 pages - 3 may

-600 research paper, 15 pages - 4 may

i'm telling myself it's not that bad. i have two whole weeks to do two presentations and three papers. only 40ish pages, total, for all the papers. the worst has passed, i'm trying to tell myself. i don't believe it, though.

i move this thursday/friday. i have some things packed. my parents are coming to help me on thursday.

i'm trying to sort out fall practicum. i called 8 places today; about 5 were potentially successful. i'm waiting to hear back more information.

i'm going to be conducting an outcome study for ulster project this summer, in addition to working as a time of discovery leader. i need to do my lit review research, as well as find the assessments i want to use. as well as decide if i just want to focus on the american kids, like chris wants me to, or if i want to include the northern irish kids too, even though there's already research on them.

aislinn wants to go camping and has a groupon zipline coupon thing that has to be used by june 9th.

i think once i get moved things will be easier. that will be a HUGE stress off of me. and once i figure out a practicum placement, there's practically nothing else to worry about. i'm sure other things will crop up by then, but for now? pssh. i'll be happy once those two things get sorted, i guess.
