i guess i am here to hug and cry and learn and grow.
so, i made it through my first week of classes successfullly! as in, i am here and ready for the next week.
tomorrow at the center for forensic psychiatry (CFP), i will meet my supervisor, whom is a social worker named cindy. this will be a welcome change from following my super-dupervisor around and i will feel more guided, directed and pertinent. i'm excited to see where my work will go as an intern here.
all five of my classes are going to be awesome and challenging in different ways. some will be emotionally trying, others will stretch me academically and intelectually, which will be nice. while doing homework this weekend, i've been pondering how complacent i became about social work and social justice while not in school. i hope that i have learned that lesson and can avoid this in my future.
the past few hours i have been reflecting on how society, and more importantly, me, individually, supports a pro-racist ideology. this has been intellectually and emotionally draining. but, i'm rejuvinated and my mind is racing with all the ways i can grow and change and employ my personal beliefs into my practice as a social worker.
