Wet nose

I have started the supervised practice in the counselling course. That means that I am out in the world counselling people. Very scary, and probably more so for the clients. The main problem is that I need to do 25 client hours by May, but I am only getting one hours worth a week at the moment. I need to find other placements or this term will be for nothing (over dramatic, but I may have to retake that module). I have called all the schools in the area, and will now be calling GP practices. It is leaving me unsettled in the course this term, and I have moments of doubt about being on the course. I enjoy the class times, but the stress about the placement is taking a tole. This could be why we were taught CBT before we go on placement.

In work I tend to see how far I can get the boys to believe me. The other night there was a conversation about what frogs get you high if you lick them (they were watching something on TV the night before). They had very little knowledge about it and one of them asked me if you could get high from licking a frog. I tried to explain that it was true but only with a certain type of frog, and didn't know what one. Then I said you can get the same effect from licking a dogs nose. I got a moments silence then someone asked "really?" They know my humour. If I hadn't told them the truth, I just wonder how many would try it.
