Schrodinger, Siestas, Ship Sayings

You ever get that feeling, in the afternoon, after having eaten a bit too much, where you just want to nap, or play a game or watch/read something light and entertaining? I'm feeling that hard right now. Do I take a nap? Do I crank out some push-ups? (That seems bad for the already unhappy digestion). Do I just power through? Maybe I do some tidying. I love tidying. Putting things where they belong, or finding a place for it. A place for everything and everything in its place. I think someone said that was a nautical saying, for how you have to organize a ship. I find doing that very satisfying and soothing, and sometimes even energizing. Slightly physical, intrinsically motivating, high priority but not high enough to take up my prime energy & focus times. Sounds like a plan.

OH, you're here, listening to my thoughts. I guess I should give you an update. The practicum site is moving along nicely, everything has been approved, I just have to get my insurance (which I'm not supposed to get until December, so it lasts through the whole of my internship) and I'm all set. So looking forward to actually practicing. 

I love all the stuff (OK, not all of it. But most of it at least) that I'm learning, but it's so intellectual. I know I'm not going to be able to do much learning until I am actually working with clients. Which is unfortunate, because I would love to go into it knowing I'm adequately prepared, but I'll learn on the job like everyone else. I am also excited to hopefully confirm that I really enjoy this work and have found a good career for me. Perhaps a little bit nervous, because it is still possible I will find out I was dead wrong. That would be a quite unpleasant surprise. So looking forward to that schrodinger's cat being resolved as well.

OK, that's enough, off to my next thing, have a good week y'all!
