Sickness

January 16th, 2008

I’ve been sick. Blah. Ej has taken care of me, though. (: And Dylan gives extra kisses. Tomorrow I stay home from work, so that is a necessary relaxing day. Work is busy, busy.

Next week: Capstone! Yay! Oh, wait, I am not excited at all. We haven’t been given much information about it except: we are to expect to be at the school from 9-5 (implied that maybe even longer if we’re motivated) Tues through Fri. We’ll be placed in a group of fellow students from different fields and methods (yay group work!) and be given a hypothetical problem. Then with our ingenuity as future social workers and the help of roaming faculty, we are to come up with…something, then submit it. The best get prizes! Woo! Maybe even lunch! Oh my! I wish I had been sick next week.

Frustrating…

January 9th, 2008

Work is frustrating — I am trying to get people to do something they wouldn’t necessarily have any reason to go to (and I ask if they were even asked?), for which they have not so great skills to do…  I talked a about it today, and I realized how frustrated I was.  Sigh.  I guess the harder part is expressing my frustrations to my supervisor/the team when I have been trying to and not succeeding, and now it’s Jan and project ends in a few months.   How do I tell them it’s just really a big mess?!

New Year’s

January 3rd, 2008

Back to work.

 

Happy New Year!  I haven’t gotten out my traditional “Step by step guide to New Years Resolutions” this year, and I probably won’t.  I’ll keep them in my head and do baby steps.  Most of all, I resolve to plan a wedding happily!  Woo!  Positive attitudes are good.  I am certainly open to ideas on how to do that.

 

I’m reading something other than school – gasp!  What is the What by Dave Eggers.  I like it, you should read it. 

 

With all the people and business combined with laziness of the last few weeks, as EJ said, I should get into a routine.  Or at least a balance – yes, that sounds better.

 

Things to do in the next 2 months:

-Finish a really nice resume

-Practice interviewing with Dylan

-Start classes off well and increase overall confidence!  (Maybe there’s a book on that)

-Read at least one more personal book

-Start planning a wedding!
