Hello Forum Land,

Today is looking amazingly calm out here on the ocean given the tsunami of yesterday. I woke up feeling HORRENDOUS and wondering how I was ever going to "bluff" my way through the tutoring session I had scheduled for this morning. However, the student turned out to be super nice. She was really giggly over her total lack of stats knowledge and she kept making me laugh. We talked about the absurdity of psychology students having to spend so much time and energy dealing with inferential statistics rather than learning how to actually help people.

It felt a little weird because she was really nice and easy to talk to...and she doesn't live all that far from me. However, I can hardly say "oh by the way, you actually sound like a decent psychologist, can I see you" when she has engaged me as a tutor, can I! Now THAT'S frustrating!!!!

Anyway, engaging the bit of my brain that actually works and having a giggle with someone has helped quell the storm of yesterday. Wow, I guess that means I've just discovered for the six billionth, four hundred and fifty eight thousand, nine hundred and seventy-first time that big feelings pass.
