I just get aggravated since I have been working on an RD cert for years, plus I am a ACE-CPT now, so it is part of my duty to ensure other professionals do not go beyond their scope of practice. 

To the point of “falling into a depression” : I am not saying this lightly. I mean, I am noticing signs of depression, in particular tiredness, irritability, no longer finding past interests interesting and enjoyable, not enjoying much of anything, even changing appetite. I am about to start a set of cosplays, so I am hoping that will help and I am only a few weeks away from paying off these student loans. So hopefully all that plus the holidays will help keep me happy and busy.

Gah! Had to move the trash that’s been sitting for the last 4 weeks into the truck and there were tons of maggots and etc. in there. And it smelled so bad. I swear I can still feel everything touching me, things crawling on me, despite me washing my hands twice and changing into a complete new set of clothes.

and I still have not received any information on how to sign up for the DTR exam and I still have not found a job I can do because there is an employability gap between the degree and the certification, which requires a 10-month internship which I have to pay MORE money for. Basically, the degree itself doesn’t help anything with getting a job, it’s the certification that means something. I guess I am just going to have to go back to foodservice or make the jump to simple retail.

My graduation depends on it. And I have another test I have yet to study for and I need to finish my homework for my other class AND I need to prep for my presentation on Tuesday.

I wanted to be able to present a “Getting Fit for Cosplay” panel as someone who really was qualified to talk as those things. I need to finish my degree, internship and RD certification and move onto my PT cert.

Nap for 45 min to wake up at 10 PM. Then pack. Then study for my exams. Then back to bed for the real sleep.

That is so exciting! My program requires me to have an internship in order to graduate and I wish I could have taken it this semester instead of spring so I had more of an idea of what I was doing when I graduate.
