Life as I know it

Has come to an end. This is my reading assignment to be done before class starts. Next week. Before I ever step foot inside a classroom or meet my professor.

And when I am done with that

Paper on professional positions for counselors
Prepare a two-to-three-page (350 words per page) paper discussing what
professional positions Master of Counseling graduates hold, and in what settings.

Write your paper according to APA format and include a minimum of two
references with both quotations and citations within the text of the paper.
Suggested sources for references are the Dictionary of Occupational Titles
(DOT) and the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), found at university,
community college, and public libraries and career centers; articles found on the
Internet; professional books and articles on careers in counseling found in the
public library and in university and community college libraries and career
centers.

And that is just the first assignment for next week. There are 3 more.

And I still need to edit and correct Jess' papers for her, help the other 3 with homework, chores, piano, referee, cook the food, go to work, run the errands, pay the bills, clean the house, do the laundry. Oh and sometime in there I think I should try and sleep. And I am willingly paying for this insanity. For 2 1/2 years.

It's been nice knowing you.
