Sunrise =)

Been a senior for like three weeks now and life is good. The apartment is fabulous, classes aren't too scary, and my internship is amazing!!!!! I really love saying that I'm a senior, I feel very accomplished and it usually shocks people since I look like I'm 15. My senior sem is by far my favorite class. I love being with all the sowk seniors and sitting in our circle talking about fieldwork and such. Even though it's at 8:30 in the morning I am always really hyper and talkative, which in this class is a very good thing. I had to do my presentation last week and I think it went really well. I was up in front of the class for over an hour...a little intimidating but after a while it was kind of fun. Maybe I'll try the professor thing when I'm old...I like the idea of running the show lol! My 10:30 gero class is pretty basic like most gero classes...I'm thinking about getting my gero certificate as a resume builder for grad school/ a job. My online class is whatever lol..why do I keep taking art classes as gen's is beyond me, but it seems easy if I can motivate myself to read the stupid chapters each week!!!!!
Being at my internship makes me know that social work is definitely what I want to be doing. I knew before that I loved my field, but of course like everyone else I had doubts if this is what I really wanted or if I could survive in a field that can be so emotionally draining. But after only three weeks at MM I am totally in love with it. The residents and staff are so amazing there and I really love not knowing exactly what each shift is going to be like. Everyday we have different things to take care of and people to meet with so it's always exciting. I'm starting to bond with a few of the residents now which is really nice. I am like 99% sure that I want a job with the elderly population when I graduate now. Hopefully my boss will help me find something since she kind of already hinted that she would =)
This semester is very busy but I'm adjusting pretty well. I am on a good schedule of waking up at 6:50am and going to bed at 11-11:30pm..which I never thought I'd pull off since everyone knows I like the night life...I like to boogie =) But things are going well and at the end of the day I get to come home to the pimp apartment...being off campus is great! I feel like a real grown up now since we pay rent and such lol. I am in luv with my fur white sofa and pretty room..and having my own bathroom!!!! I can't wait for everyone come down and visit now that we are settled in!!!!
