Well, I am fully immersed in my practicum, which is at a non-profit counseling center. There was a period of orientation, then I started seeing some clients and working in some groups, and now it's onto the task of creating a schedule.
I've sat with clients, I've co-facilitated groups, and while I still have some nervousness around that, when I stare at my day timer, that's when the sheer panic sets in. I will go though thoughts of "how will I fit this all in", to adjusting and readjusting my hours of availability and session times, to looking at new groups and thinking of how I could possibly fit that in to get that experience.
I've had this problem throughout my practicums, and this one is no different. It boils down to the fact that I want to experience too many things (it all looks delicious) and I have a hard time turning things down that I want to experience!
The good thing about all this is that I have a lightish classload and don't currently have a job. Doing a few hours over what I'm supposed to is not going to take away from MY time, or any other time.
Oh, and I'm having a blast. Great people at the agency, amazing opportunities and SO much learning.
