Is not such a great thing to do right in the middle of the semester. I knew it would be hard, and it is, but it’s got to be done. Let’s hope that will be soon! What has been happening way too much lately is setting up appointments to see an apartment, but having the broker call to say that it has been rented before that day even comes around. How does this happen you wonder? Well, I can only make it to appointments on Fridays and weekends. Maybe on Thursdays, and that’s pushing it because I have a class that day and before class, there’s always lots of materials to read, papers to submit or some other school related task to do.  On Wednesdays I get home pretty late from a day of double clinics and pretty much crash when I get home. Tuesdays?
Back to back classes. Mondays? Same as Thursdays.

So where does that leave me? Daydreaming about having the next apartment I see be miraculously the perfect one and ending my search right then and there. What will most likely happen though, is re-adjusting that daydream after I see the first place so that the second one is the perfect one, then again doing some re-adjustment so that the
3rd place is the charm. And starting that whole cycle again the next day…

Oh boy, wish me luck!

Last week was my first week of clinic and I had my first clients for audiology clinic. My partners and I definitely had to dig deep to remember some of that stuff considering we’re speech students and all. But we did ok. I also have dysphagia clinic as you know, but I haven’t seen clients yet.

What classes, clinic, studying, papers, reports and editing Winning Speech add up to is little time to socialize. And I’m ok with that, I know what I signed up for. But what I think is ridiculous is certain friends (not all of them of course) not understanding that this program takes up most of my time and taking it personally when I can’t “hang out”. When I do manage to get some extra time, you better believe I use it to sleep or just hang at home. And if I do make it out, it has to be a mellow outing. What good does it do me to get home at 4am and be in slow  motion the next day? That’s a waste of a studying/editing day. And what about alone time? I LOVE alone time! Here are some of the things I hear:

 “I haven’t seen you in months!” Well, I’ve been in this program for more than months, so…
“I moved here since last year and have yet to see you” Thing is, I was in this program last year, went out of the country during my time off, came back right before school, so…

Well, I’m sure you get it. If anyone’s going to get it it’s you since you’re going through the same. So what are some of the things that your friends have told you?
