I asked Mom to call to confirm her appointment and they told her she was supposed to be there already.

She had some pre-registration forms and of course, she kept saying she needed help.

It showed appointments in Chandler and Gilbert, but nowhere did it show the time.

They had told her to be there an hour early, but when she called, they said she was supposed to be there two hours early, although at least it was in Chandler.

She yelled at me that we needed to go already, I grabbed my stuff, and waited.

We had planned on 06 and arrived at 0615.

I am terrible at being on-time, but I was waiting on her.

At 08, I e-mailed the head professor saying that Mom scheduled a procedure a couple of months ago, and promised me that I would be at school on-time, but I just wanted to let her know that I might not be.

Then Mom's doctor called and said Mom would be ready in 20-30 minutes.
Google said that it would take 22 minutes to drive to school, so I relayed this to my professor.

I didn't arrive until 0945!

It was weird, my professor was in a meeting, and I don't think that she had assigned me anything new, so with a million and 10 things to do, what was the most important thing to do now?

I started reviewing the evaluation reports that I submitted at 2359 on Friday and the first one showed scores in the 90-100 range.

Let's say there is a family history of autism, we may test a kid to determine whether he is temporarily delayed or he has a developmental delay.

It is possible that the tests won't indicate a problem, but I wouldn't expect to see that in these simulations.

However, I need to score 90% on every assessment, so I think that in my haste, I used my scores, and then wrote that since the client scored 95% on this test, x, y, and z are within normal limits.

I told my professor that I need to redo that and she asked if another case stood out.

I mentioned one of a man with a total glossectomy--they completely removed his tongue after cancer.

I kept thinking of Cotton from Pirates of the Caribbean, but that didn't seem important.

She pointed out parts that are missing from his report, so 0 of the 2 reports we discussed were adequate.

I kept trying to take notes while she talked.
After a while, I realized that I should have used my notetaking app, I'm sure that I missed a great deal.
