Sorry to impose on your thread here, but I didn't really want to create a whole new thread just for this...
I saw my psychologist today. I told him about how I am failing half my classes and not turning stuff in, so that's what we talked about the whole time. For some reason, I am kind of frustrated that he is so calm about it. I think I sort of WANT him to make a big deal out of it, maybe even get mad at me. I guess it seems like he doesn't care, and it doesn’t really matter to him (ho hum, your life’s falling apart, whatever), or perhaps he doesn’t seem to grasp the gravity of the situation. I think I am going to bring that up next time! (Yeah, right -- I'll probably chicken out.)
He said at the end that he feels like I came in with a problem that I wanted to work on, and we didn't really get very far on it -- we sort of got stuck. I am going back on Tuesday, because he is going out of town on Friday and he didn't have any open appointments on Wednesday or Thursday. I almost asked him where he is going, and he probably would have told me, but I already know, through some (gonna toot my own horn here) GENIUS googling that he is going to be presenting at a conference in St. Louis. Anyway, it will be nice not to have to wait a whole week. I had to meet with a group right after my session, and now I’m in the computer lab waiting for my next class, so I haven’t had my post-session “crash” yet. But I think that it will help knowing that I get to see him again on Tuesday. That doesn’t seem like so long at all.
