Aww, I'm sorry. =( I've had a lot of schoolwork this quarter... THAT is criminal. D= I have a midterm in one week, an 8 page essay due a few days after that, and a final exam the day after that... so I'm trying to figure out what I need to study/work on, and when. =P I'm still chugging along with my TH duties, though, haven't had to take any time off. =D

I LOVE THE NEW SYSTEM FOR HELPLINK. Omg. <3 I could kiss Rob (if he wasn't so far away and if I didn't have a boyfriend ).

Self Expression is such an awesome forum. =) And we have the same partner (Kaila), so that's pretty cool!

And how are things going for you, aside from TH stuff? =)

Robinn. Why haven't we talked in so long? It's criminal.
A few weeks ago or so. & Thanks! I really like moderating the self expression forum, it's fun!
How are you doing with all your awesome TH duties lately? xD

UGH, I can't even imagine. That must be super hard. I'll simply skip every math class I need to take in the future, thank you very much! It is by far the worst class ever! I would go to a million science classes if it meant that math would fall off the face of the earth.

Thank God for technology, it saves us math haters nowadays! I would be so lost without it!

I HATE math. HATEHATEHATE. I had to take two calculus classes during my freshman year in college... gaaaaaaaaah. HATE. RAGE. RAWR. =P But at least hospitals and labs don't REALLY expect you to know math when you're practicing psychology... they have statisticians who do the hardcore math for you, and all you have to do is add everything up and record the data. =D

It's something I wish I could forget too!

Science definitely is a pain Plus there would be a bit of math involved, and that would be torture! (Unless you're good in math. I totally envy you if you are).

Whoops! D= I keep forgetting that you're so young. =P So yeah, four years of high school + four years of undergrad... loooong time to decide who you want to be as a writer. =)

Definitely not psychiatry. =( You have to do two years of pre-med, along with the 3-4 years of doctorate level studies... and I SUCK at science, so no thank you! But I would like to get a doctorate in psychology... if I can't get into a program straight out of college, my backup plan is to get a masters in family therapy, so that I can at least get my certifications and start practicing in a clinical setting.

Fourteen, actually! I'm only a freshman, so like I said, I've got PLENTY of time.

Wow, that's pretty cool! I think it's really admirable that you dedicate so much of your time towards helping other people. I'm sure you'll make a great psychologist / therapist / psychiatrist (whichever career path is your choosing, haha).

Yeah, you're 16, so you've still got plenty of time to decide on the specifics. =D

My high school had an unique program called "Peer Advocates", where ~20 juniors and seniors were trained for one semester in order to counsel students. It was a very difficult program to get in to, but I guess I showed a natural talent for finding the right things to say... so I was accepted. After my semester of training, I was in the program for my entire senior year, and it truly opened my eyes to the problems that kids all around me were dealing with. I've had a fairly easy life... dealt with some physical and sexual abuse from my ex-boyfriend, and my family life isn't the best, but I've never hit rock bottom... so many teens have, and I want to help them. So I'm getting the degree and credentials I need in order to do so. =P

Plus, in all honesty, I think it's just about the only thing I'm good at. HAHA!

I really like to write poetry, although I'm not too sure I'd be too great at it. I have forever to decide what I want to do with my life, so I'm not the slightest bit sure What made you decide you wanted to major in psychology?
