-- Getting good feedback from the clients at work makes me really happy. I feel like I'm doing something really good when my clients tell me that they're glad that it's me who is their caseworker. The clients in my WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning woo! I <3 that group) group were telling me the other day that they never thought of me as being so young until it occurred to them to ask my age. I was a little floored because I so look much younger than I actually am. So I typically assume that people think I'm something like 16 or 17 heh. Some clients have a big issue with the age difference (because most of us case managers are in our early/mid-twenties and most of the clients are middle-aged and older), but it makes me feel like we have a really great mutual respect for one another, which is so important to me. I think that's part of what makes a clinical relationship work-- so I'm happy that that's something that we've achieved together... I sound like a nerd. Still love my job heh
-- Got to see Olivia and jessdecina tonight! Olivia's home from law school for a little bit, so it was nice to get to see her and talk about how crazy it is that we graduated a year agooooooo. And! Pizzaria Uno gave us presents! ha bottle openers, pens, Cracker Jack, Juicy Fruit gum, coupons, post-its... weird. They just kind of shoved them at us when we were walking out the door. It was awkward.
-- It's both exciting and entirely terrifying to think of all the different opportunities I can pursue academically, at this point. There's so much I want to do/ that I know I can do. But I can only go to grad school for one (or two) things. Hmm. I love that Rutgers has a dual MSW/JD program. I know I want a psych degree... but law has always interested/ intrigued me. It's something to think on. I obviously wouldn't be able to work full time in a program like that. It's gotta be super-intense. An MSW usually takes about 2 years and a law degree usually takes about three... and the MSW/JD program is only three years heh. It's something I've been toying with for some time.
-- Saw Manchester Orchestra with Matt last week and they were pretty fucking badass. I want to go see The Dead, but there was no one to see them with. boo.
-- I have to go dress shopping for Jess' wedding. The baby Jesus knows that I can't dress myself. We'll see how this works out. Worst case, I wear a black dress that I already have (but I don't want to wear black to a summer wedding). I have about 9 days to find a dress. oops.
I've got so much on my mind, lately. Just a lot going on. Trying to slow down and enjoy life. But I'm not always as good at that as I wish I was. Lately I haven't been as good about being all zen about things. Trying to get that back! The Universe is random and cruel, but always takes care of itself in the end. Like flipping a coin. 100% random, but eventually evens out to 50:50. Fifty heads and fifty tails. If that makes any sense? I'm rambling.
