> i want to go further, maybe a masters.....but I dont think I was meant for psych, I do love it but I am not focussed enough or disiplined enough.
Hmm.
Í remember reading you saying something about getting an A for a course you were doing. And that you were worried about that course and saying how 'stupid' you were etc etc. (Sorry I didn't respond back then - I was going through a bit of a hard time and gg was doing a good job of saying stuff better than I could anyway...)
Don't underestimate yourself.
Do what you *want* to do.
If you don't want to do it because it sounds like too much hard work, or you are sick of it or whatever then that is fine.
But don't let it stop you if that is what you want to do.> I should be saying 'Im smart enough, Im good enough and gosh darnit I deserve it!!"
Absolutely!
> What I would LOVE to do is be a mediator or maybe an interventionist. Mediator sounds good. I should look into that, I imagine I dont need more school, but im sure there is a program out there.Hmm. Mediator. Is that something along the lines of 'dispute resolution' - preventing conflicts from going to court??? If so then that is a popular option for people who major in philosophy :-) Law runs a one year post-grad (over here meaning after you have your bachelors) program. I'm not sure what an 'interventionist' is. If it is going out into the community andworking with people (kids especially - though adults too) to prevent offending, dropping out of school, social problems etc etc. Then that sounds like community psych.
> Im doing an honors, I was thinking maybe you guys fast tracked it a bit. But it sounds pretty similar. i dont have the 3 year option not that I would have done it but I might have now if I had the option.
??? What does that mean for you guys?? I know the bachelors is 4 years in the US. I wasn't sure about Canada. Sounds like you guys do a 4 year bachelors. Is honours a year after that or do you just get awared bachelors with honours depending on your grades (ie no extra courses) or what????
> I think not getting into this specific program that I wanted was meant to be. I am trying not to be upset, I just kept telling myself that if I am meant to do it it will happen. So it may be a hidden blessing. And if I am organized enough maybe I can still pull off completing in time.

We do seem to be having a run of 'I didn't get it' on Babble.
:-(
I'm sorry.
> How are things going for you? Is your tutoring load still lighter than it was?Lighter meaning less 2 hours per week.
Yeah.
Three weeks to go
