Huzzah!

So the big news which the blog hasn't heard yet. I've been accepted to Lakehead University! I've been admitted to all of the programs I applied to! YAY! So in September, I will be joining the learned people! I am getting bachelor of arts, majoring in psychology. That is so exciting. It's a positive thought, even when I feel a little depressed.

My parents are finally supportive. I think they were doubting my acceptance ...

On top of that, I'm feeling better. No more fever, sneezing, congestion and gross stuff. I have have a bit of a cough now, and still some small difficulties with breathing.

I also say the psychologist the other day. Even though it was the beginning of my sickness, I didn't think blowing him off a second time would be good for either of us. I talked to him. He's nice, and apparently a teacher at Lakehead. He asked me all the usual questions, and I went through my life with him. I then filled out some questionaires. Like seriously, they sucked. There were hundreds of questions and before I got halfway through, they started repeating questions, just midly paraphrasing them. Annoying. They could cut that down by a good couple hundred questions if they didn't repeat like mad.

I'm to return to him tomorrow to go over the results of the questionaire. Let's see how that goes. I have a feeling pills are in my immediate future. But one thing he said that comforted me; I asked if there were people able to live comfortably with the same things that I was experiencing, depression, anxiety, disasociation. He said there were people living with it who were comfortable, successful and happy. This gives me a little glimmer of hope that perhaps my mental and emotional problems could meet their end!

  1. Yay to glimmers of hope! Also, in questionnaires like that, repeating and paraphrasing the same question is actually a tactic they use (can't remember for what exactly), but they will teach you all of that in your psych classes anyways! (YAY!) :D
