Too funny. And honestly, Laura, I think my therapist would be willing to work with you over the phone. You'd just have to work out a payment plan. And maybe I could photograph the scene I described and e-mail it to you so you could look at it while on the phone. Oh, and Scuzzy, I TOTALLY understand what you're saying about the time thing. I had a similar experience when I was freelancing and looking for a full-time job. Yep, I'd work on my stuff for several hours, then try to chill out at home, all the while having A LOT OF ANXIETY ABOUT IT because when you don't have a defined workplace and schedule there's always something else you COULD BE DOING, as your inner critic is constantly reminding you. Then, you have to listen to annoying comments from nine-to-fivers about how great you have it. Ugh. Oh, and you made me wanna make tuna casserole, too.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130900344456653778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29676853.post-1157634047001560592006-09-07T07:00:00.000-06:002006-09-07T07:00:00.000-06:00Trish, can I fire my therapist and hire yours?Trish, can I fire my therapist and hire yours?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29676853.post-1157583705647717072006-09-06T17:01:00.000-06:002006-09-06T17:01:00.000-06:00See, if anyone has a problem, give it to Trish and...See, if anyone has a problem, give it to Trish and me, and somewhere in the middle you will find the answer!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352226815489110209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29676853.post-1157583300019651312006-09-06T16:55:00.000-06:002006-09-06T16:55:00.000-06:00After reading this post, I'm imagining my therapis...After reading this post, I'm imagining my therapist sitting across from me, in her cushy eggplant-colored chair, under a print of Georgia O'Keeffe's poppy, looking at me over her notebook saying, "don't you think you're being extremely self-criticial"? I mean, you got everything done, right? You met expectations, right? I mean, I hate to be crass, but college is largeley about meeting others' expectations, namely, those who give you grades. Be self-critical about your personal goals, I say--and maybe not even then. But your post was friggin' funny and I enjoyed reading it.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130900344456653778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29676853.post-1157514870307883732006-09-05T21:54:00.000-06:002006-09-05T21:54:00.000-06:00Listen up, scank. Here's your freakin' motivation...Listen up, scank. Here's your freakin' motivations: 1) Since this first meeting with the professor, his expectations of you have risen greatly, knowing that you read everything assigned, and were aware of your weaknesses 2) Since you were so quick to understand once he explained, he will expect you to be a quick learner, and you won't get a whole lot of slack, and 3) This is the beginning of a friggin' 5-YEAR committment of your life, which I might add was purely of your choosing, and as you plan to spend the rest of your life doing this, you sure as hell better get everything out of it that you can! With that said, I love you, and have a Great week! Take a few short crochet breaks every now and then, but remember why you are there. To learn and drink beer!!!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352226815489110209noreply@blogger.com
