I decided I wanted to update because I'm at work til' 5 and I got here at 8 and it's only 9:10. That means this is going to be a super duper long day. All I have left for school is studying and I've already started. I have 4 finals but I'm not too worried about them, maybe a little bit. After this semester I still have a year in a 1/2 left to go before I graduate. I've been really pissed about it but I've been convincing myself it's okay.
Next semester shouldn't be as bad as this one and this semester hasn't even been too bad. I'm just worried about when I'll fit my mentoring in. I have 4 students that I mentor and I don't want to drop any of them, but it's so hard to fit 4 hours into my schedule when I'm really supposed to mentor from 3-4 on any weekday. Right now I take 2 of them out of class at 2....and the only way I'll be able to do it next semester is if I take 2 out from 9-11. I hope it works out, I feel like I'm one of the only constant things in their lives and I'm actually making a difference. I love when they see me at the door and they get so excited they get in trouble for running to the door. Before Thanksgiving I made Turkey's the way I did when I was in elementary school with them...Turkey hands! Good thing my roommates caught me up on how to make them again because I almost forgot.
I decided I'm going to stay at school this summer. I figure for sure I'll be able to work and my supervisor through the Big Brother/Big Sister Program basically offered me an internship for the summer...in something I actually want to do. Hopefully it all works out and I get placed with foster care, that would be amazing. I applied for this volunteer position at CDS and they wrote back saying they want me for an interview as an intern. I said I would be interested in an interview and after I said yes they told me it will be a part time position. I knoe I will not be able to do it because I'll be going to school full time, working part time, and volunteering. I'm gonna go to see what they have to say and maybe I could go just for experience one day a week. Plus I could always brush up on my interviewing skills.
I'm so excited for next school year (09/10)...I knoe it's still far away. But I can't wait to have my internship the entire year and start getting some real experience. I had my interview with the placement guy and he was all about setting me up somewhere that actually interested me! Hopefully I will hear back from him soon...I'd really like to knoe where my potential placement will be!
Oh! I'm so excited it's finally snowing!! I love the winter and I love the snow and I love the cold and everything else that comes along with the season! It is weird however...since I've been in the social work program and learning about all of the marginalized populations and such, I feel slightly guilty for wanting it to snow. My second thought after I freaked out that it was snowing the first time, was about the people who have no homes, no food, no blankets, etc.
Two of my cousins got engaged recently and I am too excited for another wedding! They are still about a year away but I can't wait to get my dancin' shoes on and party it up with my fam! I wish all of us could go up to my Grandma's more than once a year...it's so great to have everyone together and all of us cousins are growing up, getting married and engaged! It's great to have such a close bond with my extended family because I don't have one with my family.
Welp they wasted like 15 minutes...guess I'll get back to work. Too bad I don't have any work or homework to work on! I just deleted a paragraph I wrote because I thought it could cause drama. I kind of wish I didn't...I love drama. I'm such a loser. lol
Hope everyone has a great holiday! :-)
