Clearly I missed a week, since it's now 2 months exactly now before I graduate, Deo volente. Theoretically, I can extend for one extra week if I'm really close to December 18th. But, fingers crossed, it's looking like I will actually make it. Each week, I recalculate my total internship hours, and for the last two weeks, the ratio (how many hours per week I need) has been slowly going down. Last week, it was around 11, this week, it's around 10. We want that number to keep going down, because unexpected things might happen, such as a bunch of clients missing, or -and I really don't want this to happen- me getting sick. I'm kind of not allowed to do that, so I've got to keep taking all the things that keep me healthy. The main one being: getting enough sleep. Not being super stressed, and getting regular exercise, being the next one.
But, if I keep pushing, it looks like it will be ok. So I'll keep pushing. Important note: that means having a lot of clients, which means having a lot of notes. I have been getting faster, some notes only take me a half hour, which is great news, but some are still more like 45 minutes. But everything is getting faster, bit by bit. Again, great news. Still, with all the school work, plus the paperwork, plus the independent studying for things like the couples I'm seeing, it is quite a lot. I'm feeling stretched thing, but I'm hanging in there, not burning out, and definitely getting some great practice with efficient time management, due to being forced to be efficient with my time.
Speaking of which, I've got two of these to write, so I think I'll finish this one now.
Writing another, after this.
