Don't Rain on My Parade

This weekend I had a few setbacks. My health got a little worse for the first time in two weeks- a mild episode of vertigo, followed by mild headaches and not-so-mild fatigue, aches, and nausea. So I spent a lot of the weekend in bed being tired and not entirely functional. I also used my time, since I wasn't up to doctoral level work, to start looking up more internship information and begin my third spreadsheet (yes, I'm mildly obsessive, but each one serves its purpose). While working on this new spreadsheet, I looked at the less dreamy side of the process- how many students apply, how many are selected to interview, and how many are matched to each site. I also saw out of those, how many were school psychology majors, and how many were clinical psychology majors. Wait... what? I'm applying to school-based internships- what are the clinical psychology majors doing in these positions? There was also something else, but it will be left unblogged.

I'll feel fine though. My health is improving, and one more night's rest should get me mostly back to full strength. As for the internship information- well, it's just more fuel in the fire to do well in my practicums and write a strong application.

To pick up my mood, I found two songs to help. First, we have the title track of this blog, Don't Rain on My Parade, which kind of sums up my personality in general. This link here

is Lea Michele from Glee performing the song at the Tonys.

And as a bonus, last night Neil Patrick Harris won the Emmy for Best Male Guest Star in a Comedy or Musical for Glee, so here he is performing Dream On with Matthew Morrison.

Time to sleep, and Dream On about my last week of vacation...

I like his attitude :)
