Today I sat in my useless waste of time Counseling class, laptop in front of me, with every intention of writing today's post. I quickly realized that it wasn't a positive writing environment for me; I started a few times and ended up deleting every attempt because it sounded too depressing. And yes, it's ironic that my Counseling class legitimately throws me into a severe depression for 2 hours every Wednesday (actual counseling, I've found does the opposite. My intent here is not to hate on counseling as a practice, but the horrendous class I am subjected to each week).
To put into perspective my lack of ability to prioritize my classes this quarter, just know that today I scheduled a hair appointment fully well aware that it conflicted with my first class of the day. I know that lacking self-motivation is my problem, and not that of my program's faculty, but it couldn't hurt for them to challenge me once in a while right? Anyway, bitching about my grad program is exactly what I wanted to avoid writing about - mostly because it depresses me, and partly because I want my 3 regular readers and handful of occasional readers to continue reading my blog - something they may not do if it just becomes a daily expression of my lack of satisfaction with school.
Instead, I am soliciting topic ideas - so in the future when I am sitting in class looking for an activity to prevent me from running out of the room screaming while pulling my hair out, I'll have ideas to go to. Thoughts, anyone?
