While I wait...

I am curios to know how everyone is handling the waiting period. I know there are similar posts in other forums, but since I mostly stick to the SW forum, I thought it would be nice to post one in this forum.

 

I started volunteering. I also enrolled in a yoga class...figured yoga would be beneficial to my self-care .

I also started volunteering for a social service agency. But it's mostly child care while parents go to assigned court parenting classes. What does your volunteer consist of?

Really considering yoga!

I'm doing research for a few hours each week and volunteering as a firefighter in a town nearby. I'm taking each day as it comes.

Got a rejection from one of the two programs I applied to. Now dreading the next rejection. Although I was initially highly confident when applying but now it seems the world has come to an end! So I am just stressing out and though I tried a lot of things to keep myself engaged, it is just not helping!

I am busy getting sick... damn flu wont leave me for the whole week... :-/

I am busy working in a job that is somewhat unrelated to social work. However, I've been volunteering as a sexual assault counselor for the past year  Also been trying to get in better shape!

Haha, I wish I had free time to do things like work out.

 

I've been working as much overtime (also in a field completely unrelated) as I possibly can in order to get a few extra dimes in my bank account. Not being able to work for the next two years is a pretty scary thought.

I graduated in december so I am free for a semester until grad school starts! This wait makes me anxious... so I have bombarded myself with work. I work at a high school, tutor kids at elementary and middle schools, work with kids who are truant, and am leading a research at CSULB on domestic violence. AND!!! I am doing yoga too! Are you doing corepower? I've done a lot of different kinds but hot yoga at corepower is my all time favorite.

No, it I am doing yoga stretch. I've done regular yoga in the past, but never corepower. I am stuggling with some back issues so yoga stretch is appropriate for this.

I too am freaking out about not being able to work for TWO YEARS! I've always worked since college so I'm panicking about it! I think that it the scariest part about al this for me. I figure I'll manage, but I keep thinking I want to find some time of job that requires minimal hours..at least for gas money to/from school and placements!

I worked through college and my first masters degree, so this whole no work thing is FREAKING ME OUT. Especially with the price of living increase I'm about to endure when I move. Yikes.

 

I'm hoping I can do something on weekends for cash. Babysitting? Bar tending? Something?
