I feel like my counseling practicum is getting off to a rather slow start. Last week I logged 6 hours and so far this week I've only logged 2.5 hours. Today I worked with a student on filling out an interest inventory for the PLAN test he will be taking on Thursday (which I get to help administer). Unfortunately my phone stopped recording right before we got to the actual interest inventory part and so I didn't record all of the great conversation we had - including him telling me about his fears of public speaking. I hate technology! Our conversation did make me realize that I have a lot of experience to offer students/counselees and it also made me realize that I'm going to really enjoy the time I get to work one on one with students in a counseling setting.
Tomorrow I go to my elementary school setting for the first time. I will be there most of the school day. Working with little kids is NOT my idea of a good time usually so this should be interesting. Thursday, as I said earlier, I am going to help administer the PLAN test to sophomores. Then on Saturday I'm going to help deliver some group counseling/teaching with my advising guidance counselor for seniors who are trying to prepare for the COMPASS test.
I hope everyone else's practicum is going well!
