I'm headed to New York tomorrow. I'm super excited about seeing Amanda and going to New York City, and then going home. I need the break so badly, and hopefully this two week break will give me the inspiration to keep pushing through the next ten weeks, and then immediately move to San Diego to work at camp for the summer ( Read more... )

My supervisor told me that I don't have the qualities to make a good social worker during my evaluation. I'm not sure how I feel about this. She approaches me very negatively, and the other social workers at the placement positively. I'm not sure how to handle this situation since in every other situation in my life I've been accepted and also ( Read more... )

Tonight, I realized that I worry about my grandparents. I mean, I always knew they are just so stubborn that it is hard not to worry. Afterall, they are 84 years old ( Read more... )

I also had an interview today for my field placement for next year. It was at UIC (they have a center for disability studies there). It went REALLY well. Seriously, this practice interview thing has been great for me, I feel like I could get almost any job because of how great my interview skills are ( Read more... )

One thing I love about Chicago is how everyone has an excuse to be a child. When I first got to Chicago, if I saw my bus coming from down the block, I would be upset but wait for the next bus.

So I just picked up a reference letter from one of my professors (the one I don't like). I asked him to write a reference because I couldn't really get my hands on another one within a couple of weeks. He had me rough draft it and I wrote a letter, and then he toned it down and took stuff out. The reference is fine, not great, but it'll work ( Read more... )

Seriously I don't know what to do ( Read more... )

The title of this entry is what I am. Before going vegetarian, I had bought some Ragu sauce. I opened it today and realized that it is flavored with meat. I am going to eat it anyway, however, because, it doesn't make sense for me to throw out a brand new container of Ragu. Shhh don't tell.

I hate group projects. Especially group papers, when the editor of the group doesn't do well and I find paragraphs that haven't been indented as well as sentences with question marks that aren't questions. Come on people, this is graduate school, not elementary.

I have more reading and writing to do in the next couple of weeks than I really, ever have. Ironic, considering I just bought three books. I'm incredibly busy, and haven't been able to do certain things for myself, like...go to the gym ( Read more... )
