Never works according to plans...

Today's life lesson:
 Always have a Plan B

Lately, I make plans. Beautiful plans. Thoughtfully organized plans that tell me what I need to get done and when it can be accomplished. But I am learning they rarely work out. :)

Take today for example. I got to internship and organized my schedule. I need to write a report, finish testing a kid, meet with a kid on a behavior modification plan, meet with a teacher on a behavioral consultation, AND find a 5th grade teacher who is apparently avoiding me and deliver her a behavior rating scale.

So, after my schedule was all worked out I got started. First things first, score some protocols and start writing a report. I did that. It worked out swell. I even got to meet with my behavior mod kid during her recess and remind her of her goals for the day. But then it all stops going according to plan. I got an email from the teacher I was supposed to be meeting with, canceling for today and asking if I can do it on Friday (which I probably can, but technically, I am under another supervisor that day so it gets a little hairy), and then I attempted to track down my kid to test from RSP and they have changed his time so he isn't available to work with.

I haven't yet tried to track down the avoiding-me teacher, but at the moment I am 2 for 4 items on the list today. So I guess I will work on those other things tomorrow, time to make a new schedule! :)
