It's one of those quiet days at practicum where I would do anything for a crisis, or even a mini crisis.  I need something exciting to happen.  I don't cope well with all this quiet.  Normally I have some homework at practicum to work on in the dull times.  My supervisor is writing her work plan and then we have a bunch of stuff we'll do, but my ( Read more... )

I am SO ready to be done practicum for the semester.  I didn't think I would be, but I really am.  I'm sitting here, and I'm just NOT in the mood to do anything.  Classes finished last night, and as if I want to be doing anything.  And of course I still have to be studying for exams ( Read more... )

So today Crystal dragged me to the welcome for the new salvation army cadets.  It was surprisingly interteresting.  Having not been to a lot of salvation army stuff in the past I was surprised by it.  I do have to say however that the uniforms intimidate me just a bit.  I certainly wasn't the only one not wearing a uniform, in fact most people my ( Read more... )
