Yeah, yeah, I know it's been about a bajillion days (months?) since I've updated. I could say I've been busy, which wouldn't be a lie. But I also just haven't been able to muster it up. I'm just not getting that love from blogging that I used to. But perhaps I'm over the hump (my humps, my humps, my humps). We'll see how it goes. For the meantime, here's a list:
- Internship has been going amazingly well. I love the Conway schools. I would LOVE to stay here and work when I am licensed, but we'll just see. Lots o' cooks in this kitchen, you know?
- I have been doing some assessments with kiddoes, attending (and occasionally, like today, LEADING!) conferences with parents and teachers discussing what would be the best placement for kiddoes with disabilities.
- Fridays are my counseling days. I don't do a lot of one-on-one counseling- that's what the counselor is for. But when there's a certain population that would benefit from some group counseling, we often step in. I'm doing some sensory groups for kids with autism/Asperger's (I love these kids!) and some social skills lessons with self-contained special education classes. I love this part of the job.
- Jeremy and I got a Wii, and I've been working out with the Wii Active on a semi-regular basis. I love it, and I'm feeling much better actually being active (it's been too long, stupid broken leg).
- I recently found out that I have to take my licensure exam for the state of AR (it's the Praxis for School Psychology) THIS semester, when I thought I had till NEXT summer. That means time to start studying. Soon. Ish.
- I am over-the-moon-excited about Melissa and Greg having twins. I can hardly contain myself. I'm officially predicting it's going to be a boy and girl. What do you think? Head over to her preggo blog and wish her well. And demand pictures and blog updates. ;) She needs some encouragement.
- I get to go see Dave Matthews tonight, thanks to Melissa being too preggers to enjoy general admission tickets. ;) She got some seats from one of her friends, so Jeremy and I get to now go and enjoy the gorgeous weather and a band that I used to love dearly.
- The pictures above are from the Toltec Mounds over the weekend. J and I attended their Fall Equinox Celebration. There was a weapons demonstration, crafts, fry bread, a tour of the mounds, and a sunset viewing. Amazingly, the mounds were built around the solstices and the equinoxes, and the sun sets behind certain mounds on these dates when you are standing on this one particular mound. Blows your mind, eh?
- Also interesting: everything at the mounds were measured in increments of 47.5 meters. Whoa.
- Keep reading. I have more pictures of other things I have been doing.

you're such a good person. and not just because of your chosen vocation. xox
what a great list friend!
one of my Asperger's kids asked a girl (who ambulates but has a different gait because of spina bifida) why she was waddling. we then had the disability talk about how we are ALL different. like how he has Asperger's and it's hard for him to make friends sometimes, stay focued, or understand what people are saying. he responds with "yea, i have lots of agerpergers, like thousands of agerpergers". you gotta love it!
