I just need to do a little stream of conscience writing to get my brain warmed up and ready to go for a productive day. This morning I woke up feeling better about having dropped the practicum because I’ve got some rather profound health issues going on. I seem to have some incontinence. This should not be a thing for a 48 year old man so I now have to bring this to the attention of my primary care physician. It could be as simple as a urinary tract infection or it could be something more serious so this is something that needs to be checked out.
Today needs to be an all out productive day to get my essay done and turned in for my Social Welfare Policy I class. I feel more confident this morning than I did last night. This little journaling will get my brain moving. My writing teacher in high school used to have us do this as a means of engaging the brain and it works remarkably well. Even just looking at the paper through a fresh eye now does not look so overwhelming.
I am feeling better today about grad school than I did yesterday and that’s important. Now I am ready to tackle this paper!
