I got it I got it hooray my myth is that I don't get what I want I don't try for what I want in life and thus I get nowhere but that's okay I didn't want any of it anyhow.
anyhow.
But I wanted this traineeship! I set my sights on it and I went for it all dressed up resume in place letterhead introduction speech practiced the questions the answers the whole bit convinced them to take me at this wonderful place that counsels portland's down and out for only five dollars a session.
more than convinced them I made phone calls and got in an argument with a woman from Harvard who said that west coast students don't know how to work hard. My monologue retort made her laugh and then I laughed but really she was quite the quite and the conversation made my ears turn red though I stood my ground and even gained some.
Here is what excites me beyond the beyond:
they videotape every one and I get to watch myself and my clients (my clients!) as a training tool they also have guest speakers every week and seminars and meetings and so much support. The best part is that they throw their trainees into the fire and say sink or swim but we know you can swim and we'll be here cheering you on. One hour get acquainted meeting and then here come the clients.
woo-ha.
so now shimmering sugerplums dance in my heart filled with joy.
