  1. Definitely not what I expected to be doing. Lol
  2. I had my first field placement interview yesterday and I think it went very well. It was for an organization that provides care for people with severe mental illness. I am so excited about it, my role would be that of a case manager. In my interview they mentioned a big part of my role would be transporting them to and from doctors appointments, SSI appts, and other things they may need. This kind of worried me because, I am a smaller girl and I have a handicap I am afraid of putting myself in a dangerous position. I know realistically social work is working with people who have mental illness and being put in different situations. I understand that. The interviewer said they have only had 1 case where a person was violent towards a case manager. I just don't know if I am worried for no reason? I mean this is the job and I am the low person on the totem pole. Should I be worried? Would every field placement be like this? I am interviewing at other places, I don't know if I should bring this up to my advisor or if it is a stupid concern.
  3. First field placement interview this morning!! I'm probably going to pee my pants!

      It was really good, I have some concerns though

  4. Ok I like grilled cheese with Doritos crushed inside dipped in ramen noodle juice
  5. I committed to the MSASS program there
  6. I've dated guys with just a high school education. Mostly military guys, it never mattered to me. I have talked to a few guys recently and they hear that I'm getting a graduate degree and what school I'm going to and are super impressed but it doesn't matter a ton.
  7. Calling to set up interviews for potential placements! So nervous:))))

      Thanks I called, I have some apps to fill out

  8. Case Western Reserve University Concentration in Adult Mental Health
  9. I don't see a problem with it? I considered having a "going away party" (when I thought I would be going away to school) just to get money and little things I would need for an apartment.
  10. Ok I'm a cheese ball but in "The Notebook" towards the end when they are in the rain and she's like "why didn't you write?" And he is like "I wrote you every day" and they go back and forth it just love it.
  11. Please stop. Seriously.
  12. My advisor yesterday was talking about in all foundation classes we have to maintain above a B- I kind of figured this was the case but has anyone who has already done this program had issues with that? I don't know why that freaks me out because I was a good student in undergrad I maintained A's and B's just the idea of potentially failing is scary. I want to do amazing, I want to be an amazing social worker and help people, I want to succeed as a student.
  13. Ok sounds doable then, I figured a field placement near home saves me a commute kind of so at least 2 days a week I will not be going super far. Ok I am getting excited again!
  14. I think 2-3 days a week. I know I am trying to get field placement near home which is 2 days the first Semester and 3 the second. Hopefully classes will be 2 days a week too or I could schedule them like that.
  15. So I was on campus for the first time today and I am starting to freak out (nothing new.. I freak out about everything in life). I live about an hour from my school (on a traffic free day) and I feel like this is bad. I mean it is far, what happens in the winter? What happens when I can't find parking. I didn't think parking would be a huge issue since I am handicap and I can practically park anywhere but one of the faculty members said that the lot attached to my building is faculty only, well there were 2 empty handicap spaces. I emailed parking services to find out what a handicap parking pass would entail but everything about this is scaring me. I don't mind walking and I can walk (far distances take an extremely longtime but hey) I would just prefer to not walk a mile (because the few times I walked a mile it took me about a half hour lol). I know that people commute and it happens and sometimes people commute from much further away, I just am not used to this. My undergrad school was very handicap friendly with parking and walking and stuff. I am just wondering if anyone commuted for school, and commuted fairly far? How did that work out for you?
  16. Met my field placement advisor, I have 3 places to interview at! Wow umm this is too fast. I am getting really afraid. I don't know that I am cut out for grad school. What if I do badly, you have to get a B- in foundation classes what if I can't cut it?

      If someone who got a huge scholarship can't get a minimum of B- in all of her courses then I'd hate to see what happens to the other students who were accepted with lower GPAs and did not get any funding. Don't stress over it. I'm sure you will do just fine.

      Thank you, I always second guess myself. I am excited because I think I picked some awesome places to interview.

      Stop it! LOL! No accepting failure before you even start. I did my placement interviews and did well. I just assume I will do what it takes to pass each class. Do the same?

  17. Didn't do any of those things, I was in pep club and journalism and DECA
  18. How is it that literally everything is so good then life like shits on the goodness? Story of my life.

      There are no fairy tale endings... But bad times are great reminders to appreciate life when things are going well.

  19. I need to meet my field placement advisor but I don't have the hours to take off work, my job doesn't even know I'm going to grad school... No clue how to handle this situation

      Could you do it by skype during your lunch break? Just explain you can't take any time off work because the office is swamped with work or whatever the reason is.

      Didn't even think of that! Thanks

  20. Haters gon hate haha and you can't even see that lol
  21. So I was just talking to my mom this morning about how excited I'm getting for school to start! It's so insane how this time last year I was about to graduate, all I wanted was to work and make money and move away... Now I'm going to grad school for something i didn't even think was an option for me. I just finally see the picture and I see where I will maybe be in the next 5 years. Is anyone else kind of feeling like even though they don't fully have it together in all aspects of life (who really does?!) you're kind of making your way closer to that? I'm so excited I didn't think I would be as excited to go to school
  22. I thought you were done?? It matters to you that much where I post? Lol you're now the posting police? Hmmm In the end it doesn't matter, I want kids I don't have them, I am child free at the moment. It is not my intent to go through life child free. Some people choose that and that's great it isn't for me. Maybe I shouldn't have posted but I did so sorry OP for taking away from the point of your thread. Done.
  23. Wow you're still going on about me?? Thanks:) and interestingly enough I actually haven't talked to my pregnant friend in a while, since she asked me to help her pick out a middle name... Ummm no thanks dude figure it out on your own. Also, I will be 26 when I graduate or pretty close to it.
  24. Yeah I see "child" or "marriage" and it is my kryptonite! Anyways thank you, I can't wait to use all these lovely baby names:) maybe you will stop tracking all my posts now? I know that's too much to ask. You love to attack me. It's evident in every single post I have made or any response, it's fine I'm a big girl I can handle it, if that makes you feel good about yourself then hey.. More power to you dude. I will continue to post what I want where I want to, you can ignore it or go on the attack against me... No sweat off my balls.
  25. Scandal!! Ok who the hell gets a vial of the rarest meningitis like why is this even existing?!
