(Thanks Google!)This has been me for quite some time. Hence the reason I haven't posted in a while. Here's what I have been thinking about:
- There are only 16 more days until I graduate with my Master's Degree. Before then I have a final to take in a class that was originally very difficult for me to understand. The focus is a very nontraditional type of therapy. I finally thought I was beginning to grasp the concept until yesterday. We had a very confusing discussion and I realized I don't get it at all. P.A.N.I.C. There are no more classes before our final. There are no more chances for me to ask questions for the teacher to clarify. I only took this ridiculous class because I knew I liked the teacher. I had no idea what I was getting into.
- I also have to pass an oral exam (not at the dentist, as Levi pointed out) in order to graduate. Basically, three people with PhD's get to decipher whether or not I am competent to be a social worker after my hour-long presentation. Then I get to leave the room while they determine my fate. No pressure, right? To top it all off, I have to wait an agonizing 12 days for it. That's 12 whole days of THINKING!
- After graduation, I am going home to kill time until I find a job. What jobs am I looking for? Well, I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it's supposed to be my lifelong career though. Where am I looking for this job? Well, anywhere I have never lived (this eliminates Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming). As you can see, I am lacking direction a little bit. I am beginning to hate the phrase, "The world is your oyster!"
- The other concern is when I actually become employed. It could take all summer before I find a job. I can't afford that! So now I'm trying to figure out how in the world (of Filer, Idaho) I can make/save money at home.
(Thanks again Google!)
