Well, I did my practicum placement interview. 

And by god, I kicked ass. 

My practicum teacher, M, said I was professional and clever and all sorts of nice things. He thought that working with children and adolescents would be a great departure from the work I’m currently doing. We chose 5 schools from the list of placements as my top 5 options. In June, I will get a letter saying which one I go to for a final interview. Then I kick that interviews ass and get the placement. Simple and stress free, right?

M said I have nothing to worry about, but he clearly doesn’t see every possible flaw like I do. 

Loyal reader, I’m stressed.

    Just fyi, goddaughter, all of us (other than the obvious narcissists) see our deepest flaws, flaws that often are unseen by others. Part of succeeding, from my perspective, is not letting those deep flaws stand between us and others. We are all flawed individuals. Don’t let them get you down. Much love and many good vibes coming your way.
