Blogging instead of finishing my paper.
Yeah, I have a paper due on Wednesday at noon that I am almost done with, but am blogging instead of finishing it! Actually this paper has been a big bad b***h in my life lately. . . its the last one of the semester and I am just done with it. Its worth 30% of my grade so I kind of have to finish the thing. I am on the last section too, but the thing is I feel like I have followed the outline given, but not really. Its about a client of mine and the practice model I am using backed up with research (that section is questionable), an ethical issue that could possibly arise from the situation with research, and differences between me and the client with research backing this up, and then finally application to the function of the agency and changes I would like to make. 10-12 pages that I keep putting off as long as possible. . . !!!
By the way I went to the school today with my other social work student collegue. We did some stuff like worked on documentation our group plans and stuff for next year. We got stuff for the group Christmas parties this week and next. . . oh how fun that will be. Then we started brainstorming ideas for groups next semester. . . but we have time to work on it. Like the three weeks I will be there before classes start and we can meet on a day that we are both off and do it over coffee. My field instructor actually seems to be working a lot more lately and being more motivated about her job, this is kind of exciting! The other student and I still have our reserves about if this is going to carry through til May or not. We decided that we almost need to be like God and forget the past and forgive her for all the injustices she has caused us and hope this continues.
Also, today I actually thought about my future after graduation in a realistic way and also without any real anxiety problems arising. I was talking to my field instructor about this and how I want to work with immigrants and stuff like that where I can use my Spanish. She knows my dad is working in Northwest Arkansas right now an area that is booming, and her brother is a doctor there. Its supposed to be the next Dallas/Fort Worth area in the future from what everyone is saying, it is growing fast! Walmart is there as many of you know and they recently have demanded that all the companies that they do business with or buy products from need to be close to them. This means that a lot of companies are moving offices and headquarters and stuff like that and with it comes the people and money and everything else. Plus Tyson Chicken is in the area and they hire mass quantities of migrant workers. My dad has a lot of connections too so I e-mailed him to see what he would say about working down there. He e-mailed me back and was like I could so get you in at Walmart or Tyson. I was like okay, but I really don't want to have a job because my rich daddy got it for me. So he is going to get some information for me and places that I could possibly send my resume too. This is me really being realistic and thinking about what I can do and what I might be doing and where I might want to go. This would defenately be a safe bet probably. . . maybe I need to be close to my family with money for a while, while I adjust to making off of $25,000 - 30,000 a year for the rest of my life at least until I get married if I do. . .?
Right now it has been cold up here and Kansas lately. . . last week we got all that snow as you know. I had a snow day which was good because I finished my policy paper then. But lately I have been eating a lot and drinking lots of coffee. Like the caffeine addiction is bad right now I feel like, but the eating thing is good. . . I guess. Except I think I am gaining weight no one else has seemed to notice or said anything without me bringing it up in a joke or something. But the worst thing is besides taking Bear, the dog, out and her making me run I haven't had time or wanted to go out and run since its so cold. I feel like my stomach or my gut is out there more and I don't like the idea of having a stomach. I have never equated gaining weight as a good thing. . . . I mean a part of me has always known I am really skinny and I should gain weight, but I almost like being that skinny. Okay, before some of you like start to worry about me and think I am going to start doing unhealthy things like some of you know I have done in the past, don't worry! I just don't want to wake-up one morning when I am 30 and I am fat and its because I let it all go down hill my senior year of college, thats all I am saying. I am going to try to start running more I think.
I think that is it for me now. . . I'll try to work on my paper some more I guess and then off to bed because I have to go to internship tomorrow too! 3 days this week!
