Update (long time coming)

Wow! I don't even know where to begin! I was a nanny over the summer for 5 year old twin boys! They were an exciting challenge if there ever was one...or should I say the family WAS the challenge! What is it that some parents don't get about being consistent? If it doesn't work ONE time, then completely change your method to what ever child raising book you are reading that week? Never understood that logic. I digress. Anyway, shortly afterward the boys began Kindergarten and the drive became pretty long and not worth the pay....especially since I was also driving to SCHOOL in the opposite direction. That's right, I am back in college as a Social Work major. I plan to go on to get my MSW and become a licensed clinical social worker....I've learned a lot about family structures, divorce, poverty, different welfare programs, the different types of social work....I'm learning SOOO much. It's amazing how many conundrums there are in this world, and I'm finding out more and more how society isn't so understanding of people's issues. It makes you think though....I was reminded how stressful finals can be! EEEK I had 2 major ones back to back. I got a 95% in my Child Psychology class (got an A overall!) Not sure how I did on the history one. That professor liked to torture students with ALL essay and detailed short answered questions! The final was cumulative and a nightmare. Luckily I made some friends in the class. I think it helped A LOT....we'll see when we get the final grades in for that one....

My plans for break are to try and relax a little, do a TON of volunteer work at an assessment/ crises center, and try and find a job....had an interview today that I thought went okay for Boston Store, and got another one tomorrow for JC Penney!

Scott and I are going to my family's for Christmas Eve, his Family for Christmas Day, and New Years alone together! YAY! Plans may change due to inclement weather...lately its been some crazy weather! Who ordered it?
