Happy Valentine's Day
Happy V-Day!
It's been awhile since I've written, but I feel like my life has had a definite lack of drama to report lately...
I am graduating in THREE months! I cannot wait. It has been fun to spend time with friends since Spring semester started up, but I am really itching to be done with college. My schedule is fairly easy, with just 3 classes. It has been hard to readjust to a class schedule, rather than going to my internship site every day. I miss the kids from my internship last semester and hope I can keep up my visits to see them. Thankfully, I will still be able to do some fieldwork in my "Issues and Perspectives in Aging" class this semester! (Hooray for visiting Alzheimer's patients!)
Andy and I are still together for almost 9 months, and we are as happy as ever. We had a great time when he visited last weekend and I am taking him on a mystery trip this weekend for his 22nd birthday. Can't wait.
I have applied to seven graduate programs around the country, five of which are for getting my Master's of Social Work (MSW) and two of which are for getting my Master's of Education (M.Ed) in School Counseling. So far, I have heard word from Georgia State University MSW and I have been accepted. Until I hear back from the other schools, my plans for next fall will be undetermined. It is all so exciting!
Much love to all. Until next time, here are some cures for any potential boredom you may be experiencing.
These are fun...please participate and you might get some candy.
