Doing the Social Work Thing

Here I am sitting at the elementary school where I am doing my internship. My field instructor left about two hours ago when school ended to go to her son's football game. I am still here though because I am staying for the safe school meeting at six. No watching the TV shows tonight! Oh well. . . get used to it right?
Today I have done a lot, but then again it doesn't really feel like it. But I still feel tired after these days its a bag of mixed feelings constantly about this whole thing. Today I sat in her in listened to my field instructor and whoever else stopped by here talk about life and such. Then this afternoon I learned how to use the database, which is great but a lot of busy work. Its pretty much typing out all of the records for the kids we do stuff with and then learning how to file it all. Yeah for paper work, but it must be done! Then I helped out with extended day today, and was going to play wit the kids. The one kid Joe, who doesn't really speak English had a soccer ball and kicked it to me first so I was excited! Well, I ran after the ball and tripped on it and fell on my elbow on the concrete. I am okay, had to get cleaned up. How did that happen!? I need to start bringing my tennis shoes if I want to play with the kids after school and better clothes. Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to really do that much.

Okay, so I am bored right now wating for this meeting, so thats why I am blogging. I don't know why because all I have been doing today is paper work and stuff on the computer. Oh well. . . can't wait to get home and relax and then go to class all day tomorrow. But so is my life Tuesday - internship all day, Wednesday - classes all day, Thursday - internship all day and Monday and Friday are suddenly becoming more busy. Life sure is different this year, I keep sayin that to people, and trying to convince myself that its okay and I am doing great at the same time!

Oh by the way I had a great birthday yesterday! Thanks for everyonen who wished me one.
