are psychologists allowed to self-diagnose? i think i am exhibiting some symptoms of SAD or winter depression or whatever you want to call it. i sleep alot, but not well, am always tired, feel very unmotivated, can't concentrate, hate going outdoors, and just want to curl up under a warm blanket all day. or maybe its cause i don't exercise enough, don't make myself keep a regular sleep schedule, and it's just plain cold in our house... hmm.
so, this masters program is (deceivingly?) easy. i will take a total of 6courses by the time i am done. i go to class max. 4 times a week. i have one big assignment for each class and only have one test, so far. what am i really learning, anyway? i am afraid i will leave this program feeling as incompetent and unskilled as i did before i started. shit. or maybe i know more than i realize i know and will be the brilliant psychologist who comes up with some world-saving theory or system that beats them all. yes, yes. that's me. the unmotivated, lazy, student who can't even bother herself to use capital letters when writing her blog, with dormant genius, just waiting for the right moment to show it's potential.

perhaps your self-diagnoses is a sign of your brilliance? yeah... it's been grey here a lot lately and it makes me sad. i miss being outside everyday with farm work.
Try a light therapy lamp! We got one last year because Scott has SAD. They help, even if you don't have SAD.
Or don't get one and put it on your christmas list!
Assuming I graduate, I will definitely feel unprepared to teach.
you can always diagnose me for fun :) and you are a genius in my eyes! hehe. truly. and no school can TRULY prepare you for everythig that happens in the real world with your degree. not until you get...well, to applying it. which you are in ways that your probably aren't seeing. greyness is not fun...I totally get ya there. Love you hun!
I'm glad that you liked distance learning. I'm a little apprehensive, so it's good to hear about a positive experience. :)
I'd agree with Matt's question. One day we'll be seeing your name in print and remember back to the times when you were questioning your own genius :)
