I'm at field placement, bored again with absolutely nothing to do. This is supposed to be one of the most useful parts of my education and its pointless. I am meeting with my supervisor at 3 for our weekly structured supervision time and I am going to tell her I am unhappy and bored and not being challenged or given opportunities to improve my skills. It is really hard because they are all so nice to me and I don't want to be a burden and they are all stressed about this grant deadline coming up. It isn't really her fault because I just don't think there's alot of stuff here consistently for a social worker to do and its not very intensive stuff. Really, a BSW or someone without training could really do it. However, it is important that I have a good experience and this is part of my education and I need to be assertive. I have waited around for things to get better but they are clearly not, so I need to do something and I know she will understand.
