Alright. That went really well if you ask me. It was an interview, not an actual counseling session, but I still feel as though progress was made.
She rightly assessed that I have a real problem with other people, and that I have too narrow a career field. Apparently, for English majors, there are options other than "teacher" "grad school" and "Fast food." She asked some questions concerning my gender identity stuff like if I feel better when I'm dressed, whether or not I have transition planned, she noticed I used the term "transgendered" for the entire interview and randomly inserted a "transsexual" in there during the proceedings.
She, as I already had, came to the conclusion that I need to get established in my field with some career and financial stability before I can properly consider transition. She, the counsellor, also used the words "You need to get the hell out of this province."
I like being right about things like how much this place sucks ass.
I'm on the waiting list for actual counseling because I'm not considering suicide, basically. Apparently a lot of people use these counseling services.
I have an appointment for the career counseling services on the 15th, where they're going to basically combine my degree and the results of three questionnaires to determine what kind of job I am both qualified for and suited to.
I feel as though I have done the right thing. I never feel like I've done the right thing.
