Whew

I slipped past my final eval with flying colors. Thank God. That makes 2 CPE units down, and 2 more to go. The only real snag now is a review board in the end of January I have to pass. They get the final eval I wrote, the one my supervisor will write, and a few other papers (which have yet to be written). Pass that one and its smooth sailing (relatively). Of course, never mind the fact that if you don't pass, one can't really go anywhere in the field. Who would have thought chaplaincy was such a pita to get trained in? Its like trying to get certified/licensed in 2 seperate fields. One, you have to go through the usual seminary process - after all, you are viewed as clergy - and on the other, you have to go through a lot of clinical work. Not exactly doing long term therapy (its not our place, nor do we have the time w/ pts) but there is a TON of mental health one has to know about (and be able to put into use). I suppose we're the CISDers so that therapy can be avoided (or some huge catastrophe). But its not all grim, happy things like new babies always abound around here too.

I should get to work on writing up "Chaplain as Marine". 'Course, that means switching gears from this lack luster, train of thought - and typo ridden - mode of writing. And I'm hungry. So, maybe I'll procrastinate and attend to my stomach needs for the moment.
