Four hours away from mastery. I have just completed my final (take-home) final for my master's program. I just have to sit through four hours of lecture on Monday, and I AM DONE!

Thanks!

Also, since the final required diagnosing and developing treatment plans for made-up clients based on written vignettes, I got to write most of it in some weird conditional tenses ("If the client were to agree to do this recommended thing, I would work with him around these issues that would likely arise..."). It was weirdly awesome.

developing treatment plans for made-up clients

when frustrated with an assignement, did you ever think 'go ahead and kill your non-existent self, I don't care!" I'd be unable to resist.

Awww. That's very sweet. Thank you.

It does seem like it went by fast. And also very slowly.

Heh. No, mostly I was grateful that hypothetical people tend to show very textbook symptoms and are therefore fairly easy to diagnose, unlike real people, who have all sorts of messy lives and symptoms and disorders and strengths.
