Quoth the raven, nevermore
I am not at all excited to graduate... maybe that's a little lie, I'm like 5% excited, 90% terrified and 5% confused. First of all, I finally have a place to live!! I'm moving in with my friend Amanda from Long Island. It's going to stink to be far away from everyone but at the same time I don't have to worry about being a crazy hobo on the streets of Boston or something. In addition, I've been looking in to Grad. schools (MSW programs) and I think that is the direction I want to take. At least for now. I have to work for a while - plus deadlines have passed and I have to take my GRE's eventually - so I won't be applying right away, but it's a thought mulling around in my brain.
Classes are going well though - and internship is a lot of fun. I've finally made up my hours, so I'm all caught up. I don't expect it to storm anymore so I shouldn't miss any more internship *knock on wood* I've also started doing observations of one-on-ones with a client, and I've gotten a side project that my field supervisor seems very enthused that I excelled at. That's encouraging.
But really, all I've got is a few papers and presentations and I graduate college. I will have a BS in Psychology. I can't believe it. Then again, that is if I graduate. Apparently you can't walk in graduation if you don't pay off your tuition... and guess who still owes like 2,000 dollars... me. So I'm a little nervous that I won't actually be graduating. :( Also, I have to remember to buy my senior week ticket.
Also, my uncle is not doing so hot. Almost six months ago, he had to have his leg removed at the knee because of a dire infection. He was just getting used to the prosthetic leg when they found the same infection moving up his other leg, so they cut that one at the hip. This just happened like two and a half weeks ago. He was recovering well, but I guess last night he was not doing well. My mother went to visit him in the hospital, all of my family is there; but they don't expect him to hold on much longer. I know in theory how to deal with grief trauma, but it's a lot different in practice. I feel really bad because I'm not even that upset by it (my uncle is not a man I would hang out with if I didn't have to) but I know my mom is upset so I have to figure out how to support her and all that. I might ask my field supervisor what his opinion is; I've come to really value his perspective.
hmm ... oOh on a lighter note!
Oh, my, goodness. Prepare for fangirl mode:
So Twilight came out on DVD!!! I bought the 2-disc special edition, obvi! but there's an even more intense super edition that is coming out - well it's out but super backordered - that my sister is buying me and we're going to trade lol - but anyway, so I'm really excited to watch all the special features! There's an audio commentary with Rob (Edward) and Kristen (Bella) and Catherine (the director) I'm SO excited! You have no ideA! well maybe you do lol but it's so exciting! I'm in love with this series, I wish more people understood my fantastical world that I live in! lol
Manda called me yesterday and was like "Besides us living together I had another reason to call you." and I was like "did it have anything to do with the awesomeness that is Twilight" and she was like "YES!" hahaha so we had a nice conversation about our fangirly-ness! Annnd Jessica bought Harry Potter clue! I really want to play lol hopefully we can get some peeps together soon - we are such dorks.
Also I read a bunch of books over break: Revealers, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Thirsty, Hunted, and I'm working on Ironside. I highly recommend all of these books... I've decided books I read are rarely bad books lol - I have such great taste ^^ well with the combined efforst of my personal reference staff lol
Hmm what else is there. Oooh I needed to talk to Angela about AB... note to self, send her a message. Sorry, that was more for me then you lol
anyway, guess that's all since I'm now making mental check lists reality - hope you all are having a lovely time!
ciao! ~
