Hey peeps...Yes...I'm starting ANOTHER blog!!! I am literally two and a half weeks from finishing my MSW coursework and my internship. I think with a new beginning starting very soon...it's time for a new blog!
I am finished with my internship at 21st Century Preparatory School on June 2nd, and I have my last Advanced Groups class at Carthage on June 5th. After June 5th...hmm...it's still up in the air.
I am finally starting to get interviews for what I really want to do in social work...well, one interview at least. This week I am interviewing at Integrated Family Services (IFS), which is Region 3 of Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare. This interview is to work as an ongoing case manager with children that have been abused and neglected. I have worked in CPS before...in Walworth County, and I LOVED it! I am aware of a new training for the Bureau starting in June, so this is it...my possibility of getting paid to do social work, having weekends off, using my degree, and quiting Starbucks (bittersweet)!
Jake has also been doing great this year. He is doing very well in school, and loves art and listening to stories. He is a awesome little boy...couldn't ask for better! It will also be nice to have my weekends free to spend more time with Jake because I know we don't get enough "Mommy and son" time. I know that when he is older he will understand why I had to get my MSW done...now I can provide for us so much better!!!
Things in my personal life are right on track as well. Jason and I have now been together for three months, and it couldn't be any better. It feels like we've been together so much longer than that, and he is making me so happy. I still don't get to see him as much as I would like with school and all my other stuff, but that will change very soon! His family and his kids are great too, and I miss them terribly. I can see good things to come from this relationship, and it actually gives me hope in the male species...lol!
I know I can make it through these next few weeks, and I see only good things in the future. Being able to actually spend time with my family, friends, and boyfriend will be the best part. Not living in poverty is just an added bonus. I know that Social Workers don't make much money...but ANYTHING is better than the $10,000/year I make now!
BRING IT ON!!!
