Whew! Have I ever been swamped this week. The summer semester is off and running – quite a few “I can’t believe students these days” stories. Wrapping up the 2008-2009 counseling year – treatment progress summaries and recommendations. Setting up my counseling schedule for the summer – not a full load but enough to keep [...]
