I work technically as an "educational consultant" at a children's mental health clinic, because I have a teaching degree, but not a MA in psychology. Most weeks are the same, although every once in a while, my day/schedule fluctuates, it depends on the season, school holidays, supervisor's vacations, etc.
6 AM- Get up and run, shower, make breakfast/lunch
9 AM- Noon- Cognitive & educational testing time, yay!
Noon-1PM- Lunch with my dad (he owns a business down the street from the clinic)
1-3 PM- Chart notes, phone calls, scoring tests, entering data, copying materials, reading SDN, checking email
3-6 PM- Tutor mulitple children
6-9- Clean up at home, make dinner, watch TV, do laundry
10 PM (Lately)- To bed! Everyone at our clinic is really into current research on children's sleep, and after listening to them talk about all the frightening things that happen to kids who don't get enough sleep (i.e., me when I was younger)- I've been scared enough try to get up/go to bed at the same time every day & get at least 8 hours of sleep.
This schedule is slighty different on Thursdays, I do less tutoring, but group therapy from 5-8PM. This is a hilarious part of my job, and I LOVE it.
Because I stay late on Thursday nights, I get to leave work at about 3PM on Fridays! Yay!
My nights are like this:
Mondays- brewpub night with my girlfriends
Tuesdays- My one night at home by myself to get things done
Wednesdays- Family Dinner- my brother and I and our significant others and friends go to my parents' house for dinner
Thursdays- Group therapy night, so I mostly watch TV & go to bed
Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays are anybody's guess, but usually involve a farmer's market, eating out, shopping, reading, drinking
.
It's a beautiful life right now! Now that I no longer teach, I don't have to worry about grading papers or making Indian geography worksheets or be cutting out dinosaurs til 1 in the morning. I enjoy my time at work and them I enjoy my time at home! Woohoo!
