WHEE!

I think I'm going to like my classes this semester, if I don't go insane from the workload. Quotes from the professor of tonight's class (who is also the department head):

"...which is why, in counseling, we must rely on firm, scientific data. There is only one place where you can always find absolutely valid assessment materials: Cosmo. It sees all, it tests all."

"...as a school counselor, you are the advocate of the child. That /is/ your duty. Which is why you can take the school psychologist out to the parking lot and beat the crap out of him when he starts over-diagnosing kids."

(On the importance of assessment in billing.) "We've gotten in touch with each other. We're really seeing deeply, and I think we've come to terms with some things. Please pay me. ...to this, the insurance company will say no."

Also, why is it that beef stew always tastes SO MUCH BETTER the night after? I mean, god, it was good last night, but this night it's...wow. Yum. *devours*
