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?
