quiet afternoon.

this is a backdated entry...i wrote halfway, then got busy again..heh..

im in the office now. just completed my first case today (yayy!!....that is of cos, with supervision from my senior psych.hee..). well i had my first session on 13th (cognitive assessment).. and today was the literacy test+concluding session. for the most part of interviewing and assessment i was taking the lead with the senior observing me... but i left the entire concluding session to her, heh..not confident enough, scared i'll be too emo + also lacking the tact to convey results to the parent, or for my case i guess, too sensitive about the mother's feeling..then i'll hem and haww and possibly not convey the results of the assessment as required... truth sucks, reality bites... and thats something i have to get used to la. owells...i have to do it sooner or later. i guess for my next case...which is this coming Tuesday+Wednesday! Anyway..guess what..i'm currently taking a break from report writing. haha... somehow it feels different writing a report now. not writing for a grade, but rather one that could possibly aid (or break) a child. how i use to complain abt assignments and report writing while i was at Murdoch. haha...now for every child i assess, i have to write a report. and the load currently is 1 child per week, which will soon increase to 2 child/week......normally we're given abt 4weeks to write a report after the assessment...so...hmm...think abt the reports thats gonna pile O_o heheh

time at the DAS has gone by unusually fast. its been a month (plus 4 days to be specific) since i've started working! I guess thats good in a sense- means I'm enjoying myself here. Happy with my job scope, there are still heaps for me to learn, and im enjoying the whole learning process. Though it can be rather stressful at times...not really due to the expectations of others or anything, but more of the expectations i have for myself. colleagues have been really patient and helpful. and im really thankful for that.. :)

24th March

have not been very motivated in updating the blog regularly..much as i want to, loL..i just get distracted with TV..my doggieee...with family and friends...with work that im honestly loving so much...heh..

anyways, im already done with my 2nd case as i continue with this backdated entry...loL...a very interesting case it was...heh..slightly traumatised by the child's hyperactiveness during and after the assessment. O_o cute kid..but i wldnt want to be his teacher in sch... aha... well he aint that bad la..but didnt expect to get hyperactive kids for my 1st few cases. loL...but its all goood. im glad Dorcas was there to observe and supervise. haha...and she was able to provide suggestions on how i cld better handle these situations next time round. talking abt this, i am rather sad that she's leaving. such short time we hav as colleagues! i'd think there's so much to learn from her.. her experience at the DAS, with kids..and even looking up to her as an example of how one could bless the workplace with her faith and love for God. but owells, people do need to move on, and im happy that she's moved on to greater and better things in life.

okay i made some apple pie today! weeeeee! bringing it to work for my colleagues tmr. heh...specially for Dorcas who's leaving, and Clement who went all the way to Compass point and queued there for an hr, jus to help me get N82 at a cheaper price. loL...

getting my 2nd pay in a few days timeeeeeee!!!! weeeeeeee! :p
