compulsivity

Who knows if that is actually a word, but it describes my behavior at the hospital well enough. about 2 times per week I add up my total number of patient/client contact hours, and project where I will be by the end of the semester and if it will be enough. Thankfully this past week at the hospital was a pretty busy one, i hope that it keeps up that way. I finally put my hospital hours into my excel spreadsheet that I keep everything since starting the program last fall in (I have to say it is a very pretty spreadsheet, another obsession/compulsion of mine-- is anyone else out there meticulous when it comes to organizing the layout of your spreadsheets, line width, total columns, number/frequency of lines in the table...need I go on?). My grand total as of the end of October is a whopping 221 contact hours. I have to get to 400 by next May, that only gives me 7 more months. There is some other random observation hours that we can count, so really it is a total of 375. But still-- I need 150 hours in 7 months, and it took me 13 months to get 221. I don't think my compulsivity goes unwarranted...
