Summer has Begun...

...and is in full swing. Actually, summer session is over halfway done already!

Only 2 more weeks left of clinic after this week. Then my research paper is due! I really need to get serious about working on it. I've started but gotten very little done. Now I'm starting to worry. Now that I've realized how freaking soon that is!

I still have moments of questioning when it comes to SLP. Then I get excited over something like discovering we now have 40,000 Selected Words in the materials room. Forget 30,000 Words, we've upgraded! I even looked into buying a copy for myself. And I got excited about a resource a supervisor gave me for /r/. I've barely begun looking at it but it looks like a gold mine, good stuff. So that helps ease some of those questions. I think now a bigger question with SLP is do I want to work with kids or adults? After my first semester I was certain I wanted to work with adults. Now I'm not so sure. I enjoy doing articulation therapy with children. I think I may even like language therapy with children if I had a different experience with it than my previous experience. The preschool is what turned me off from wanting to work with children. I'm not at all saying the Preschool was a "bad" thing. It's done lots of good for children. 3 hours at a time, twice a week, with the same child, it's just not your typical therapy situation. So now I'm questioning, children or adults? I'm even beginning to slightly consider the school system. The one place I for sure did not want to work in. I'm not too sure about it though. IEPs, CCSS, etc. Eek!

Non-school related. Finally accomplished 3 miles with no walking or stopping. I've been using the same plan I found over 2 years ago. I never got through it all until now. It actually goes by time to get you up to 30 minutes continuous. I mapped my run when I finished and it was just over 3 miles and 31 minutes and some seconds. I'm not sure where to go from here though. I strictly followed the running plan before. I don't have a plan anymore. What to do!? I'll probably run the 5k in Glorieta. That's not a plan though.

I don't think I have anything else to ramble on about at the moment. Off to making therapy plans.
