This has been a very long week considering I didn't have class on Monday. I wasn't ready to return back to school, that was for sure. Although I did get a lot of homework done on Monday... go figure. The drama of things has gotten alittle better in school but mainly because I'm not trying to fit in anymore. I just want my stupid degree and then I want out. Still waiting to hear on my placement for my last internship but Cora (my fieldwork person) still seems to think that I can get UCP like I want. They just haven't called her back so I'm still hoping. I also did awesome on my Midterm for OP! It wasn't as hard as it was last year so I'm not excited about my actual passing grade but I will let you know once I get to see the test. Half of it was very easy and the other half was based off of questions like that for my reg exam and I think thats where I got them wrong. I'll have to wait and see.
I really didn't do much this week either... alot of working actually with very little homework (go figure). That's this weekends plan since I have a rare weekend off. Hopefully I find some time to concentrate on it. Last night I had dinner with Sam, Addi and George. Sam actually brought dinner and cooked it... Stuffed Chicken which was surpirsingly good for having alot of stuff in it I'm not a fan of. She is an awesome cook. I enjoyed seeing both her and Addi because it has been forever since I've last hung out with them. It was fun to catch up with them. But I'm sad because next semester Sam is transfering to the University of Buffalo... it's sad because I'm going to miss her but she will be much happier there. Guess I will just have to go and visit... and we will still have our text messages haha.
That's about it for now... 6 more weeks until the end of the semester! but I'm still not counting down or anything...
So let's see... Spring Break was actually quite dull this year. Although I did get to see Julianne before she went back to Jersey. It was brief but still worth it. All break we have been joking about things we need to do on our "free time" which really doesn't exist for either one of us right now. We have quite some list going right now so come summer time we will be busy haha. Other then seeing her the week was rather boring. I slept, worked, and did homework. Although I'm not exactly sure how successful I was at my homework because while I sat down with a book in front of me every free moment I had, in a week I only accomplished reading three chapters :( I don't know where my time went. But luckily my teacher cancelled class for today so I have an extra day of spring break to attempt to cross out a few more things on my to-do-list.
Let's see... this recent weekend George and I went to Fluffy's for a visit which was fun. I even remained awake this time.... normally me and Fluff's wife Mary will be sleeping on the couch as the boys talk. And then Sunday was Easter so George and I went to his parents for dinner and then over to my Grandma's for Cards which is always fun. Other then that I really have nothing to write about. Only 54 more days until graduation :) Then Only 1 year left! Although I did just realize that this was my last ever Spring Break (unless I decide to go back to school YEARS down the road) This time next year I will be on my last Fieldwork at an undecided location (Hopefully UCP). Kind of sad but at the same time still very exciting.
What is your favorite quote and why?
I have tons of favorite quotes and one of my favorite things to do is look for quotes on websites to fit my various moods. Here are my current favorites since it is impossiable for me to narrow it down to one (and this is excluding favorite song lyrics of course) I have no clue who said any of these though so I'm sorry
"True love cannot be defined by any means. It is a cluster of adjectives. It's crazy, passionate, complicated, painful , but most importantly- true love is real. It's that feeling of being inexplicably drawn to another person. Love isn't finding someone who you can escape reality with, it's finding someone who makes reality worthwhile" - I love this one because it can describe exactly how I feel that love is. I mean love is a wonderful feeling but it can be painful and tough and all those other things but it is worth it and thats what this quote is getting at to me.
"It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear . . . . It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to." - I love this one since I don't like change haha. I agree completely with this quote because at least in the old ways you know how things are and what to expect, it's routine and I like routine. It's the getting used to thing stage that is scarey... when your finding out what to expect and your not sure how things will turn out. I also love this because it makes a snoopy reference haha.
"I don't really believe in regrets. All my experiences, even the ones that didn't turn out the way I wanted them to, I firmly believe they were all worth it." This one is from Gilmore Girls but I love it because I don't have any regrets in my life. I have made mistakes but they have made me into who I am today and I am happy with that.
"We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?" I'm pretty sure this one is from Grey's anatomy but I just find it funny. Sometimes it's no fun being an adult and I would give anything to go back and be this messed up teenager again because I didn't have to worry about bills or jobs or anything. I could just go out and have fun.
Those are just a few of my quotes but we would be here all day if I found more then that.
Finally Spring Break is here and it couldn't have come at a better time. I am so happy to have a week off of school considering I'm having some issues with a bunch of people there. I won't get into anything here but I do want to say that I really regret picking a major/profession that is all female since females tend to gossip and make things into a whole lot more drama then it actually requries. Only 1 more year... I have never been more ready to be done with school. But maybe after a week away from everyone things will be better when I get back, and at least I am aware of things so I can stop trying so hard to fit in. I give up, I just want my degree and I want to get out.
So far spring break is going pretty good, I've spent alot of it relaxing so far but I really need to start tackling this homework so that I can get ahead and be less stressed for the second half of this semester. Friday night I tried to drag George to a wheelchair curling match for my community hours... we only last 10mins because we were SOOOO bored. I can't sit through 6 more hours of that haha. Looks like I will be taking a look at my work schedule to fit wheelchair basketball back in for 3 more weeks.
Yesterday was fun, I spent alot of time at my in-laws playing with my neice and nephew whom I don't get to see alot because of school. Then George, Kevin and I came back here and played Mario Party with a few drinks. I love that game! I ended up going to bed way to late and being woken up at 8AM by a phone call from my father-in-law telling us we have 15mins to get ready and he was taking us out to breakfast. It was a fun time but I would have prefered some more sleep. Oh well. Now I need to shower so I can look presentable to this family I'm meeting up in Saquoit later... they get Respite (babysitting) hours through RCIL which pays more then UCP so I'm hoping to work weekends there and slowly weed out my divorced coldbrook family since they drive me nuts. Maybe if I call UCP and tell them I'm dropping that family because I picked one up through RCIL I can get a raise... hmmmm. Well thats been my day so far, I'm sure I can keep you more posted then I have been since I have the week off from class.
Well I really don't have much to report of anything new happening this week. I did have some issues with my research group but that has worked itself out hopefully so all is good there. I won't talk about it because I don't want it to be a public thing. I've been doing alot of homework and alot of counting down until my Spring Break... 6 more days!! I hate the end of winter where it gets up to 60 degrees and then the next day you wake up and there is a foot of snow on your car. Not really amused by that at all. I also got a hold of Heritage and got my hours for the summer which really aren't that much fun. It's Monday/Tuesday 7:30-4:00 and Wed-Friday 8:00-4:30... I really can't work a whole lot in the afternoons during the week and I was really hoping too. So I have a few options of returning to either Stewarts or Staples a few nights... which I REALLY don't want to do either of that, or talk to UCP and see what my options are through them which is my first route I'm taking. I can either work in one of the houses which pays better anyways, or take up some more families on the weekends and then drop them come September... I dunno. I am addressing that next Monday when I have to go to a training thing at UCP. We will see... well that is all. Back to homework now... blah!
So last last night was my OT Banquet at Cavallo's. It was a fun night! We have it so early in the semester since the year ahead of me just wrapped up classes and starting their last 12 week fieldwork placement Monday. This way they get to have one night of fun a celebration before they leave. It was a blast. We actually had like 70 people there which we weren't expecting otherwise we would have had it at a place with a bigger banquet room. The dance floor was so small and we ended up knocking the DJ's plug out of the wall like 4 times. But he had Karaoke so it was pretty fun... I even sang a song but it was at 10:30 (it ended at 11) and it was with a whole group of people so I wasn't alone.
Overall it was a blast and it was definetly pay back for George for all the things that he drags me too. He wasn't really have excited to go because he wasn't going to know anyone and I had already warned him at his banquet that I wasn't going to care if he was bored. Every year I go to at least 2 of his banquets and I sit there bored and I get ignored so it was finally time to pay him back. So while I went off dancing with my friends he sat at the husband/boyfriend table with all the other out of place males. It was great haha. And to top the night off one of my professors was so drunk that she got escorted out by security... my professor! She will never live that one down!
Oh and on a fieldwork note... I got my placement at the Rome City Schools for my two week fieldwork in Jan! Woohoo! I was concerned since I turned down New Hartford but now I'm happy I did. I just need to find out about UCP for the 12week placement... I hope I get to do Early Intervention there since it's where I WANT to work when I'm out. :( I should hopefully find out in a couple of weeks... keep your fingers crossed. If I don't get UCP I have a problem because there isn't anything left in this area and I can't afford to leave Utica.... :/ But we won't think of that yet
