Witti,
I'm really glad to hear that you feel excited by your coursework again. Having a goal can be so beneficial, and it really helps (obviously) if you enjoy the steps in achieving that goal.
It sounds as though 2009 will be a good year.For me, I had the usual therapy issues coming up and then down again. Of course there was also the word "bipolar" mentioned and the infamous (at least in my mind) locked door incident.
My most pleasant therapy session was one in which I laid down on the couch and just about went to sleep. My T asked me if I was sleepy and I said "yeah a little" It was one of those warm moments.
On the other hand, my best therapy session was also my worst. It's funny how a locked door can open up so many things.
I've had an up and down year at work, although science is very much like that. You run into amazing success, followed by abject failure all within a week sometimes. As long as the trend continues upward, no matter how small the slope of the line, it's worth it though.
I also celebrated the year anniversary of my head injury this past october. I think I've finally fully recovered from that. Since most of my problems after the injury were cognitive though, the good thing is - I'll never know if I'm still impaired! I certainly left a few IQ points in the dirt of that horse pasture, and that, coupled, well, with the billion or so brain cells I killed in college, it's a wonder I can still remember where I live!
Seldom.
