Nicole's Profile

Nicole (goingape): 28, Female
United States

Name or Pseudonym:: Nicole at Journeys in Insanity

About Me:: A graduate student living in Chicagoland with way more important things to do than blogging. So, I blog instead of doing said important things. I'm a therapist on the way to becoming a psychologist. I talk about that on my blog. Now you'll probably never want to be my client. Oh well. I also talk about my cats, my mixed feelings about attending a Christian graduate school, music, my rabid environmentalism, and how being a feminist is hard on a woman here in suburbia..or in the American South. I'm originally from Tennessee, and I talk about that, too. Let's just say that I "talk" a lot via my blog.

But for the grace of God...

Thank you Streak, Sarah, PsycGrad for your comments. They do help and I often found myself reading them when I began to succumb to the irrational thought that I am crazy and that I should be able to handle all of this much, much better and completely on my own. My mentor is doing well. He's "toddling" and joking. He's having to relearn stuff, but his humor, his personality is there. His left

It's unfortunate, but I'm not apologizing

Where have I been? Well, it's been a draining semester of a myriad of events, many of them difficult. Because many of these events have been...well, difficult, I have hesitated to blog about them. Some have been too vulnerable while others have been about sensitive information that no online forum would be anonymous enough to divulge. But overall, I have been going from one emotionally

Looking for Music Suggestions...

I volunteered to make the year-end slide show for my department's banquet. I actually enjoy this kind of thing, and it's an easy way for me to give something to the department and actually enjoy it. I especially enjoy the humor aspect of the job. One year I diagnosed all of the faculty with various inane but funny disorders. This year, I am mulling over the ideas of how to poke appropriate fun at

Contemplating Contemplation

Instead of fasting in some way during the Lenten season, I added a discipline. That discipline was attending liturgical services. I chose a local charismatic liturgical church that is part of the Anglican Mission in America. Over and over again, I was struck by the centeredness and closeness to God that I experienced, in large part due to the sensuousness of the services. The smell of the incense
