So I've been diligently practicing for my NCMHCE test, and seem to be getting on average a bit over 70%, which should mean a pass. That is fantastic news, and I'm looking forward to that weight being off my shoulders. The next looming deadline is really just getting all my hours in. If I don't, it's not the end of the world, but it is a whole other semester I'll have to take of school, which would be a big waste of time, since I'd likely only be short by a few hours. But at my current rate, I'm not gonna make it. Though I am ramping up to have more clients per week, so that will hopefully be enough. But I need about 12 per week, which is 4 per day, to make that work currently I'm at closer to 8. Or I might go up to 4 days a week so I can do 3 per day, if 4 ends up feeling too intense. (Seeing 4 clients a day is totally fine. also doing 4 hours of paperwork, not so much.)
Not to mention, I need 10 group hours, which is the hardest thing to get so far, because there are no already-in-action groups going on. I've created and advertised for two groups already, at considerable cost to my time, designing the group, designing the posters and facebook posts. Nobody signed up. Not a one. So I'm looking into other avenues. Seeing if someone else in town is already running a group, and would be willing to let me co-facilitate, or begging my friends to attend something I make for them so I can get my hours in.
We will see. Hopefully one of the avenues I'm pursuing will bear some fruit.
Wish me luck,
-Isaac
