Today's quote--"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."--Marcus Aurelius
Well, I did it. I made the appointment with M to talk...thanks Pooh bear. Last night was a bit much. I'm still homesick, and I thought I might get the sobs at some point today, but I've been okay. Writing it out helped, but, well, egads. Still don't know how to open up, what to talk about, but I'm confident we'll find something, and I'm hoping she can help me find some answers...:) Free counseling...I wonder how many people would be better off if everyone had access to free counseling, or really cheap counseling. Hmmmm. Well, there is always a need for more counselors, I'm sure, so my whole idea to go into psychology is a good one...even if I want to teach, knowing this stuff will help me help my students...at least, that's what I'm hoping for.

Took two naps today...so exhausted! Actually I feel better and ready to do stuff now, after sleeping more. I went to be on time last night, but couldn't fall asleep...argh, that always bugs me! Seriously considered skipping both of my classes today, but managed to drag myself out of bed and get to them...barely. Hope I can stay awake tomorrow...got that math test and all...I wonder how psych went...not many happy campers on that test, from what I hear. I don't know how I did, I didn't sweat any of it too much...too tired to probably...;-)

Got a letter from Namie today with pictures. She just finished her kindergarten teacher training...the kids were soooo cute! Namie's only a little bit taller than them! LOL. I'm happy my parents got to meet with her brother when he came to Spokane. Speaking of Spokane...still homesick, oh, wait, I said that already. LOL, well, obviously, it's on my mind. I keep thinking of home and imagining what it's like...I already started thinking about what I'm gonna pack...sad, I know, still have a month, but...I really want to go home. *sigh* Right. Get busy. Don't dwell. Stop thinking of it. So hard. Well, I'll go get to work on homework...that should help a little bit. I wonder what my appointment next wednesday will be like? Hopeful, helpful. :)
