Regina weekend

It is amazing what a weekend, time with your loved ones, and a long run can do for your psyche. I am back in Regina, after a yucky (but short) week in Saskatoon. I had some challenging cases, and did some stupid mistakes, and so wasn't feeling too hot. I made the mistake of talking to my program director about how I was feeling. I really just wanted someone to say - Joelle you don't suck, but unfortunately he didn't get the memo. He basically said that he thought that I hid behind by personality too much - that I am a really nice person and easy to get along with, but maybe I am not that smart. He said that people would make their own excuses for me if I didn't know all the answers because I was so easy to get along with. Man! That is NOT what I needed to hear. He is known for the sandwich approach to comments (good, BAD, good) (you know... you are puntucal, you suck at everything, you are hygienic). I am feeling better now that I am here, but am not looking forwad to going back. Last week was hard, and I don't see it getting better. The only thing I can do is just power through it. Less than 23 months to go. Head to the books, body on the road, mind in the clouds. That's the ticket....
