Say what???

Some have asked what DSM book is out. Well, it is still number 4!!! So, Lisa, we're still in the dark ages at diagnosing. The new one, DSM 5 will be out within the year maybe. Like we need to keep diagnosing people. I'm just happy to see that PMS will be a diagnosis. Also, obesity is supposed to be listed as an eating disorder. Very intersting stuff.

On a different note, it is so nice to be on break from school. I'm still not sure if I got the job for the high school, but that's okay. I don't think I'm ready to be a full time working mom. I still need to be at home with my kids. God knows what is best for us all. I also just realized that I need to start studying for my COMPS test, which I just missed passing by 10 points in the spring. The next test is set for September. I really need to pass this one. For those who aren't familiar with COMPS, a graduate student needs to pass with a 70 or better in order to graduate. No presssure!!!
