Week 1.

hey..its friday! i've worked for a week! no dramas no nothing. its been rather smooth sailing- but i guess thats cos the practical aspect has yet to set in. still trying to piece together the different theories of dyslexia (awful lot!), and the various issues that tags along...the diagnostician's role and blah.

other than readings, there were discussion sessions, mini lectures by senior psychs. then yesterday i had the opportunity to observe a testing session conducted by one of the senior psychs through a one-way glass. i mean i've seen these kinda stuff on TV, but still the whole concept was rather interesting. a novel experience for me. but the client was a 15 year old child, so it was a rather routine process...just observed how the testing was done, the tasks used, how my senior brought the child through the whole process..and issues that cropped up (well, none yesterday actually). but that was good.

in an hour's time, i'll be heading down with the senior psych to AMK's learning centre. to see what the centre is like, what they actually do..and to observe when she teaches..prob get a gist of how the association works..what actually goes on....know what the child would be doing after the testing sessions. looking forward to that... need to get out of the office. O_o

hmm...week one. gone. just like that. so fast. and i'll be here for at least 3 years. kinda tired + unreal, actually. havent really sorted out my thoughts on work and all... everything jus kinda...happened. rushed back SG after submiting thesis..went for a short break to Korea. then lotsa stuff happened at home...then i hopped onto the first job that accepted me. then back to Perth for a week to pack during CNY, then started work immediately O_o

been blogging abt wat i've been doing at work (as opposed to what's going on in my mind)... i guess this weekend's a good time to do some catching up with myself. i mean...i don't like what's happening. thrusted to do stuffs..make decisions, to just go with the flow... but i don't actually have time to think about how i feel about everything that has been happening. and to 'make sense' of stuffs...owell.....probably cos i've lost my Focus.
