Future Freakout

Here I am in the middle of my Junior year of college, in the spring semester. Next week, I get to do a field orientation for the Social Work program. Basically, I get introduced to the internships that are offered (and required) for Social Work Seniors. In a time of excitement, I feel worried! I am not sure what direction I want to go in, I know I want to be in Social Work, but which concentration? Just when you think you have it all figured out....

In other news, I am going to an elementary school here in the area today and for the next six weeks,  and leading a therapy group focused on self esteem. Maybe that will help answer some questions (not just about whether I want to have kids or not, haha) about which concentration I want to go into.


This time next year I will be ordering my cap and gown, and finishing up my last assignments (probably at the last second) in order to graduate, and I will be thrilled to walk across that stage in May. However, the future is an open space filled with a bunch of question marks.

 I guess only time will tell.


Until then,
Taylor

That would happen....

This is officially the 3rd Valentine's Day that Buck and I have spent together! However, this one has been completely different than the others. We aren't the biggest Valentine's Day fans, but still appreciate the idea behind it. V-Day 2011 was one for the records though, I spent the evening in the hospital with my undiagnosed boyfriend. It's amazing to see the physical toll this year has taken on the both of us.. In one year both of us have been admitted to the hospital and spent a few days there, both for very separate issues, but still just as serious.

SO, we made the best out of our situation and celebrated Valentine's day in the hospital! We had dinner together with Buck's sweet parents who drove down to be with him here, and I even got him to watch the Bachelor with me. :) All to say, sometimes when things don't go our way, the only choice we have is to make the best out of our situation.

With love from the hospital,
Taylor (and Buck)

P.S. Please be praying that he gets out of the hospital, and he is diagnosed soon so they can begin treatment!

Junioritis.

I have developed a nasty disease called Junioritis.... Everyone has heard of Senioritis, and the symptoms of it, such as laziness, lack of interest, and the wonderful ability to zone out anytime, anywhere. However, there is a just as threatening disease called Junioritis... I have never had so much school work to do in my life. My bedtime has now been moved from 12am to 2am, because of the amount I need to get done in such a short amount of time. Therefore, my days have now been extended to give myself the time to complete everything I need to do. I just keep thinking how badly I want this semester to be over, and to have those final grades added into my completed checklist, so I can coast all the way to graduation. Junioritis is when you don't care, but you HAVE to care. This also is the semester where I have been putting off some of the classes I have had to take but haven't gotten around to it (aka stats, and spanish). Both of which I am terrible at.....

I just wish I could play all day, and only go to my social work classes! BUT.... I am paying for the full experience, right?



Wishing it was Friday,
Taylor
