« WOOOO! SPRING BREAK! | Main | Oh, the places you'll live, the Professors you'll have »

one more paper down

Can I just say how glad I am to have handed in my paper for my Child Welfare Policy class? I. AM. GLAD. And can I just say how painful it was to sit through that class this afternoon listening to people read their abstracts (which no one wanted to do) for 3 hours? THAT. WAS. PAINFUL.

As for other news, I am already getting sad that my internship is ending. If you do not have your internship for next school year yet and you have even the slightest interest in working with teenagers, I highly recommend that you intern at New Foundations School. Everyone says that after this internship, you will be ready for anything. Now, I don't know if that is true, but when I went to my interview to get next year's internship, my interviewers had me do a role play where I had to be their "therapist." I must have learned a lot this year from my internship, because the interviewers said I passed that part with flying colors. Which leads me to announce, I got the internship I really wanted!

Next school year I will be at Carroll County Youth Services Bureau three days a week. I'm really excited about this place because they seem to pay so much attention to their interns and I will get to work with people of all different ages, parents, kids, and females for the first time. Ha! Ok, so there is one downside to my current internship- an all boys school means no job practice with girls. Ah well.

So, other than that, I've scheduled my classes for the summer (I'm going to take two classes over the summer to ease my course load over the regular school year) and for fall. New students-- make sure you get Alstien for Research class and Smith for Human Behavior!

If you have any questions about being a student here (or on who I think should win Dancing with the Stars), just write me a comment on this blog. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Sharon ,
I am seeking advice from students such as yourself in regards to classes. I am a newly admitted advanced standing student. I would like to receive some advice on professors I have chosen for classes. If you could help with that I would greatly appreciate it!
