14 days

In the past 2 years I have taken Theories of Counseling, Student Services in Higher Education, College Student Development Theories, The American College Student, Introduction to Statistics, Introduction to Research, Done my Fieldwork Experience, Taken Vocational Counseling & Career Development, Multicultural Counseling, Professional Ethics, Legal Standards and Responsibilities, Counseling Processess, Group Processess, and Governmental Budgeting, The American Political Process, and Sex and Gender. That's 15 Classes all together 39 hours of course work that I got almost all A's in. I had one elective class that I took before I entered the program that I did not do so well in (Sex and Gender, damn women's studies) So my GPA is not 4.0 which sucks, and that's why I'm thinking about not filling out my grad papers until I finish two more classes for my public management certificate so I can still graduate with highest honors. Don't worry it wouldn't add more than a month on to my program. And now I only have 3 classes to go before I am done with my masters degree and five if I finish the certificate which would show that I have a background in administation as well as counseling. This would be good on a resume, but who knows if I'm ever going to leave my current role. I know I will, but I like where I am and If I decide to do the doctorial thing.....

Now don't get me wrong I am really really really excited about the prospect of being done, and I loved all of my classes (except women's studies), but I am really really tired too. I also know that my practicum and tests and mesurements are going to make the fall semester crazy. I have to finish 30 hours of 1:1 counseling outside of class and 15 hours of that has to be a group. I have heard horror stories about Tests and Measurements so that makes me nevous. That on top of the fact that I only have 14 work days before the first day of class, has added to my normal sense of freak out and I am a mess today. Ahhhhhh.
