Wow the last few days have been stressful. I have been doing my masters in counselling online for about three years now. I am so close to the end, I can almost taste it...We had a small paper due on Friday. This was a new due date, the date on the syllabus was not until Tuesday coming up. So my prof. changed the date because it suited her best... well that's all well and good but last week was nutso! I had my friends' wedding, and report cards to do. I also had some pretty major stuff going on at work with the investigation of one of my supervisors, kids getting apprehended, phone calls to child welfare, mountains of paper work...etc etc etc.... I wrote my prof a note asking if I could have two extra days since the original deadline was supposed to be Tuesday, could I meet her in the middle and hand it in on Sunday instead of Friday. She wrote me back and said that if Iwanted that extension then I had to write another paper (an extra assignment, essentially as punishment!?) that would be due on Thursday of this week! Well shoot, I have a conference I am going to Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are parent teacher interviews, so when the hell does she think I will get this extra punishment paper done?? I wrote her back and told her that this extra paper was not alleviating my anxiety but adding to it, she said, well I will be so wonderful and give you until Friday to do this extra paper instead of Thursday...I am so frustrated with all of this! GRRRR
So right now I am working on the original paper that I need to hand in tonight, and then I will focus on the punishment paper soon.
Can you believe that I am being consequenced like an adolescent in a graduate level masters program???
We are all adults taking this program through an online program BECAUSE we all have other things that take on our lives! LIKE JOBS! Sorry for the rant! But shoot!
So sorry that I haven't dropped by others diaries, I just can't lately... I will try and make an effort sometime soon, no idea when but soon... I am basically super busy between today and 2:00 next Saturday...

yeah I know poor me!
