Decisions

 I was looking at some of my posts from earlier this year.  One of them was titled "Not Good" where I talked about starting my practicum in a week and not doing well with the idea of doing that and working 30 hours a week.  I mentioned that I had 10 months of it and I didn't know how I'd survive.  Well, I have 2 months and 2 weeks left.  I have been doing it.  I am exhausted and can't wait to be done, but I'm doing it.  

I have some very big decisions to make. The paying job I have is expanding and they are talking about making a program manager for it. However, as of right now, there are no counseling positions available at my current job and that is my degree.  I will need 3000 hours of supervised counseling in order to get my license (Licensed Mental Health Counselor or LMHC), and unless things change I wouldn't be able to do that at my paying job.  The CEO there is very interested in keeping me and is going to work on including counseling in my new position so that I can get my hours, but there's no guarantee.  

On the other hand, my internship has basically told me that I have a position there if I want it when I graduate.  I like counseling kids . . . or actually I like kids.  I don't care for the counseling part very much.  But I am very invested in my current clients there.  

Anyway, all of this has my head reeling.  Hopefully in 6 months I can look back at this post and laugh, the same way I did the one titled "Not Good."

I don't have a picture, so here's a funny.
