Well, this week marked the end of week 6 at my internship.... only 1800 hours remaining until I'm done! :) Things have been going well at internship, but it is a huge adjustment and I'm not quite feeling settled in, but it's getting much better! I now have a full caseload (all of my individual clients are scheduled) so on top of group therapy, training seminars, and meetings my week is pretty full! The staff are reminding us that we aren't *supposed* to stay late (and most nights a week at least someone is there late) so they are encouraging us to manage things within the scheduled work week. I'm hoping that the next week or two will fall into a more predictable routine, and result in coming in early/staying late on less days. But, compared to some other internship sites (that expect up to 60 hr work weeks!) I know I really have nothing to complain/worry about!
This week also marked the return (once again) to dance classes. Because of my early schedule (and high requirements for sleep if I want to function!) I decided that I can't take my regular class, because it starts/finishes too late and would interfere with my schedule. But, another dance friend has been out for an injury, and so we both joined the beginning class. When I walked in the door, the teacher (also a friend at this point) looked at me and said "what are YOU doing here" (I'd been in the advanced class for years). The class is less challenging/ less intense exercise- but I figure it never hurts to practice the basics, and something has to be better than nothing!
