Weekend was fun. Met up with a couple of classmates at the Lafayette Brewing Company last night, then came back to my place for some board game fun. Heheh. We played Loaded Questions and I surprised myself by answering "History or Industrial Engineering" to the question: "What would you do if you were not in Speech-Pathology?"
Well well, whatdya know. Maybe in my next life. ;)
Classes start tomorrow! And does Phonology Group - my other clinic placement! I have three 6-7 year olds, and can I say that I am NERVOUS. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will be nice well-behaved kids because I don't know that I can handle 3 crazy ones all by myself. I can maybe handle one crazy kid, but not three. (Yes I have heard all kinds of horror stories about kids who climb onto tables, hide under the table and refuse to come out, punch their clinician, curl up in the fetal position on the floor and cry for an hour... you name it.)
Johanna and I talked about whether we should set up a "reward system", i.e. bribe the kids to behave by giving them stickers, candy, etc. Our supervisors suggested it, and I think she's going to go ahead with it, but then.. I still have my reservations about it. I don't believe in bribing kids to do things and I seriously think it will set up a very faulty style of learning and thinking: that everything has to be done for an external reward. So, I'm going to try all the tricks I have at my disposal first and resort to that only if all else fails. ;P
I finished watching the 1st season of Californication. Its actually pretty good. The characters are pretty cool, especially Becca who is so funny. And of course I still love David Duchovny, even tho its hard for me to come to terms with the fact that he is nearing 50! (What would Fox Mulder be like at age 50??!!! It baffles the mind.)
