Graduation Part One
So I finally made it... I graduated with my first degree yesterday and it was very exciting. I just never thought that I would finally get here and now I'm only one year away from being in the real world and I am thrilled about that. I'm so sick of school and homework and being stressed all the time.... Only a semester and a half left of my Master's Program and 3 fieldworks one of which starts on Monday but I will get into that a little later. I graduated Summa Cum Latae if I spelled it right with a 3.85 GPA... one of only 35 students in a class of 400ish graduates. Go me! I actually think I had the highest GPA in my division because they pick that individuals to be a Marshall based on their GPA last semester and my friend Addison was our division's Marshall and as of this semester I have a higher GPA then her. But I didn't want to carry the flag haha. It was a fun day... kind of a blur now because I was sooo hungry through the whole thing and our commencement speaker was horriable!!!! But it's over now... I have a Bacholars Degree in Health Studeies and now on to the Masters. Hoepfully I get to do this thing again next year to celebrate finally being done with school but it depends on how long the half semester is and how many weeks I have left for Fieldwork at the time of graduation... I might not get to walk next May... hopefully though I can. On another semester note... I got the highest grade in my Occupational Performance class... the only real class I take. The only A!!! I'm thrilled for that because that class is hard!
Now on to my fieldwork... I start my first 12-week fieldwork next week and I am so nervous. It's at Hertitage Health Care Center and they seem nice when I call but sometimes a bit spacey... my supervisor did call me on Friday to make sure everything was all set since she is on vacation this week. That was nice of her so hopefully it won't be too bad. I'm just hoping they don't throw me into things on the first day because I'm not ready for that... but by the end of the fieldwork I'm supposed to have a full case load and act like an entry-level therapist... thats making me nervous. We shall see....
