Turns out there are only 23 of us in the cohort, and yes, we are all girls! One of us commented that it's more of a sorority. Haha!
We are all so different and come from really diverse backgrounds. Some of us are fresh grads (that's me!) and some have been working for a few years. Some have psych background, others linguistics, some bio, and still others business and law! Everyone is nice though, most likely cause "there is no such thing as a mean-spirited therapist" (according to Grace). Btw, Grace (JC friend with whom I share a lot of stupid funny lovely memories with) is in the course too!
The reason why I say it feels like it's been a loooooong week is because it has truly been quite crazy. Makes undergraduate days seem easy. The workload is really heavy, with lots of readings and preparation to be done. The lectures are detailed and also content-heavy and they move very fast. Almost impossible and also not advisable to drift off during class. PBL tutorials also require lots of preparation and active participation. I had very little free time this week for "leisure", finding that I had to complete a small mountain of assigned work.
But in the midst of all this hectic shuffling from task to task, I am comforted by the fact that God is with me on this journey. And yes there is much stress involved, but I really do feel excited about becoming an SLT. The more I learn and study, the more I look forward to it. I hope God continues to grow my passion to help others!
Not sure how I'll survive the rest of the two years.
And this has been ... the first week.
