  So I found out tonight that I don't have a practicum site afterall. nbsp;  Apparantly the psychologist got fired and possibly the clinic is closing down. nbsp;
 Of course it would be my luck that I pick a place like this.
nbsp;
 I wouldn't have even known until my dad called me and told me the psychologist called him and told my dad the news.
nbsp;
 My dad approves/ denies procedures for this clinic and several others so luckily the psychologist was able to get ahold of him to let me know.
nbsp;
 I don't know the whole story as I just heard that part from my dad.  This is great.
nbsp;
 Fortunately it is still early and I have some time to look.
nbsp;
 I wasn't dead set on going to this clinic as I still had some other options and I still do.
nbsp;
 I'm just waiting for my professor to contact&
nbsp;
 them.
nbsp;
 You can bet that my professor will be getting an email of urgency to do so.
nbsp;
 Hopefully my dad has some other connections and I've also found some other places outside of the pain and rehabilitation field.
nbsp;
 At least I got a new dress and the classy look for my interviews.
nbsp;
 I plan on checking out the Denton MHMR this week and maybe something will come out of that.
nbsp;
 Although I wouldn't be too thrilled to have to drive on I- 35 three days a week.
nbsp;
 I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I decided to take some extra classes at UNT.  Speaking of,  I've decided I'm going to be in school my whole life.
nbsp;
 I didn't realize,  but after internship,  residency or a post doc fellowship is an option.
nbsp;
 After or maybe simultaneously is another post doc in psychopharmacology so I can prescribe psychotropic medicine.
nbsp;
 Provided that Texas passes and implements the law,  but I can't say for sure I'll even be living in Texas.
nbsp;
 That post doc is two years.
nbsp;
 I also have been thinking of getting my J. D.
nbsp;
 I know you think I'm crazy,  but it would allow me to be an expert in forensics or other things.
nbsp;
 My dad is an expert witness and let me tell you,  the pay is not too shabby.
nbsp;
 Who know's if I'll actually do this.
nbsp;
 It's a minimum of&
nbsp;
three years away.
nbsp;
 I doubt my parents would be too happy to know they'll be supporting and paying for my education for many more years.
nbsp;
 Although my father wasn't self sufficient until he was in his lower thirties with all the schooling he did.
nbsp;
 Everyone says I'm young and now is the time to be in school so I might as well.
nbsp;
 I'm not very competitive though so I don't know about law school.
nbsp;
 A few of us are thinking of doing it and from what I've heard,
 U of H is very diversified and would be a good place.
nbsp;
 I don't know.
nbsp;
 We'll see.
nbsp;
 It's fun throwing out my options and seeing all the paths I could take.  Okay now for some ice cream.
