PSY Offline

Hey! I was just thinking about you and I realized that we never really talk anymore, unless it's me asking for something related to school or TH. I'm not a huge fan of that. I'm thinking we should have a real conversation sometime, just to catch up. Sound good? Oh, and I'm on winter break now. So, it might be a good time for us to try to make plans. Just let me know!

You have skill and it always helps enjoying what you are doing.
I am currently majoring in Communications but I have thought of either switching to the Psychology major or double majoring. I am taking Intro to Psych in January.
Thanks, that is encouraging. Last night was dreadful, I was studying and the other student on campus that uses the same text-to-speech software I do needed a laptop so I went to her room and she worked on something while I read from my music textbook, that was okay. I got back to my room and decided I should go to sleep since it was a bit past midnight and I have two exams today. I went to sleep and then someone decided to take a shower at 3 something in the morning and they didn't get out until about 4...I was really angry. The showers are a bit loud and with the bathroom being between the two rooms, I was really angry because I cannot sleep with noise and loud noise like that wakes me up easily. She finally got out of the shower and so I eventually got back to sleep and about an hour ago, someone's car alarm was going off outside and so since I've been going from being asleep to being awake and now my alarm went off, I am now awake and completely exhausted...
I have two exams today and I have no idea how I am going to get through them...
I guess, I can only do my best, I just am hoping and praying I do not fail any of them.
And I still have to do laundry, pack and take one more exam tomorrow before an about 7 hour trip home.

Wow!! That is awesome!! You are amazing!!
Unfortunately, my break does not start until Thursday after like 3 or so. I have a final on Thursday at 1.
I have two tomorrow as well and I am a bit worried about them...
I haven't gotten really good grades this semester...I'm averaging C's and B's I think... which I do not like.
Is it true that a 4.0 requires complete A's to happen?
I know I will most likely have better grades next semester, it probably has been a combination of things as to why I have not been doing so well and my high school never letting me take my own notes and giving them to me filled in at the beginning of class never helped...
Oh well, I know I am not failing anything...(well, not really but I seriously hope not...)

Hey, how are you? Is your semester over?

Pretty good. I've mostly dropped out of TH, hence the inactivity. I just sign in occasionally to see if anyone PMed me.

Oooh, nice. I plan to (hopefully) intern while doing my degree or at least get into a program where they set you up with that. San Francisco State has an MA in Clinical Psychology and I believe you do some of your internship hours while doing your degree, in their clinic, and then out in the community with their connections. It's my second most desired school, with my first being CIIS, where I would have to find my own internships. Good luck, though! And congratulations on closing the distance! That's super exciting.

Never really used them, and I've just realised I have to go to work in half an hour and am still sat in my pyjamas, work clothes unironed, and I haven't had breakfast. Whoops! I'll check it out later this afternoon.

No, the incident with my cat happened when I was away on my trip to my ex (in and of itself, it wasn't an abusive relationship, exactly, but he handled his emotions immaturely and had poor emotional impulses, which led to him saying cruel things, ignoring me for hours on end because I wanted to talk out a problem, and he even said "I hate you" on a couple of instances, which I count as borderline abusive behaviours, especially since near the end of our relationship, I felt more anxiety and fear than I did love...). Painful because I missed the last two months of my cat's life but I realise if I had never gone on the trip, I would not have broken up with him. The day after I came home, my cat came up to me covered in blood, there was blood everywhere downstairs, etc. :/ Still not sure what was wrong with him but he deteriorated pretty rapidly over the following three weeks despite intensive vet care. I do feel he waited until I was home though, and for that, I am grateful.

And haha! I actually want to own a cat rescue when I'm older named Meowslow for that reason. Great minds... But congratulations on your graduation! That's super exciting! What do you plan to do with your degree once it's obtained?

And I'll show you pictures soon.

Oh boy, so much has happened since I disappeared. Long story short, ex's mother passed away, relationship borderlined abusive in more instances than I can count, rationalised it completely ,blamed it on his mother's death, then on the distance, but after trying for over a year to make it work, I finally had to end it. My cat passed away almost as soon as I returned home from a two month trip, and considering I considered him my spirit mate and best friend and companion, a part of me died with him. I am having a wonderful time at school, however, and graduate in March with a BA. Exciting. I also have two new beautiful kittens, Teagan and Maslow (yes, as in hierarchy of needs Maslow ). How've you been?

Thank you!
