Hello! Oh wow I didn't realize, but it is has been over a month since I've updated my blog.
Well. It finally happened. I got a full-time job! I will be working as a Foster Care Caseworker with an agency called Children's Choice. It is a Christian agency, and the CEO's son, who I interviewed with, also went to Eastern, which I think really helped me. It is salaried, which is a blessing and a curse. I will at least know the exact amount I will make every two weeks and will be able to budget for living expenses and loan payments accordingly. I will probably be doing a lot more work than I am truly being paid for, but that's the nature of Social Work, I guess. I will be driving all over Philly, but will be reimbursed for my mileage. I am a little nervous about parking. I know that sounds stupid, but that is honestly what I am nervous about. Oh yeah, and my safety, I guess. I am really going to miss Indian Creek a lot, especially my co-workers at TASP and my clients. We are having a nice dinner on my last day at an Italian restaurant in Souderton and I am excited. Sad and Excited.
The office I will be working at is in North Philly, which will be a little scary, but I know I can do it. I have always had a desire to work in the inner-city, which most white people up here in the suburbs don't understand. Although my internship last year at the charter school was frustrating because of the lack of organization (I would frequently go in and be told they didn't know what to do with me), I enjoyed working with the teenagers there. Although I am white, and I believe the overwhelming majority of my future clients will be black or Hispanic, I am excited. Eastern, believe it or not, broadened my horizons to African American culture in a way that I never, ever would have thought. I was placed in a gospel choir called Angels of Harmony my freshman year, which exposed me to African American churches. I met my best friend, Rose, there and many of my other friends. Although I was not able to do the choir my junior and senior year, I still look back fondly on my time there and am thankful for the experience.
I start my new job on December 17th, I think. Hopefully my child abuse clearances will be in by then. I'm not exactly sure how that will fit with Christmas time, but that is not really my problem.
I still am trying to keep up with exercise, though I run indoors now at the gym, though not three miles. I hate the cold and will run indoors until it starts to get warmer. I really hope it is not too snowy of a winter, especially since I will be driving all over the place.
I have started attending another church. It's call Epic Church and it's in Manayunk. It is pretty cool, it's a church in a movie theater and most of the church is working professionals, or so it seems. They boast being a church that is accepting of all kinds of people and it seems there is a bit more diversity at this church, not just white suburban kids who go/ went to MontCo. I still meet with my friend Wendy weekly for a bible study of 1 Corinthians, which has been good. I don't know how much longer I will be able to do this, depending on my schedule at Children's Choice.
Although it took me seven months post college to find a full-time job, I am really glad I held out and am so blessed and thankful to finally have this job. Indian Creek was wonderful, but I need full-time hours that are reliable. I get cancelled on frequently by my TSS clients at home. If I don't post again before Christmas, Happy Holidays! I will have to change the name of the blog soon, seeing as how my birthday is on the 28th. Crazy to think that about a year ago, I was taking final exams in Denmark, and I was super ready to come home. Before I know it, I'll be 30. Ew. Haha Just kidding.

Unrest
Hi!
Wow a lot has happened since the last time I posted. On October 29th, Hurricane Sandy hit us. Thankfully we only lost power for two days and were without cable, internet, and home phone services for five days. It could have been so much worse for us. Poor New Jersey and New York got really slammed. Yesterday, a little snow storm came and it snowed in New Jersey and New York. Like they haven't been through enough. People are still without power in some of those areas. I might be going with alma mater to help out in New Jersey on Saturday. I have to find out if I will be approved to go.
My job has been giving me some stress. With the hurricane, it meant that I couldn't work for most of the week, which really, really sucks. My one client cancelled one of their sessions this week, so my pay check is going to be very low. I have huge student loans to pay off, and starting this month I have to pay loans #2. Needless to say, they are very high and money is really tight. I wish I had a full-time job with paid time off. I interviewed for a full-time position on Friday, but haven't heard back yet. I don't think I'm going to get it because I don't have enough experience- they ask for at least one year. It also sounded like they were doing okay without the Bachelor's level Mental Health Worker. I do still like working for Indian Creek, but I am going to have to get another part-time job to do on the weekends. I wish I didn't have to, but oh well. I interviewed with Banana Republic, but they never got back to me.
I am still looking for full-time positions, but I can see most companies point- I have had three months worth of professional experience post- grad. I forget if I wrote in the last post, but I was offered a job at Melmark, but decided not to take it. It was 33 miles each way, I had to pay tolls. They wanted me to work during snow storms, and the clients were really low-functioning, and sorry to sound like a snob but I didn't go to college to be hit and have to take people to the bathroom. I may be an idiot for turning down a full-time job, but hopefully I will find one that is right, or maybe can make it work with Indian Creek.
I'm still looking at grad schools, but I won't get into that right now. I just have a lot going on. Hopefully it will die down soon. I am probably going to try going to another church. I don't feel at home at the current one I have been attending. I had been attending a Bible study, which I really enjoyed, and then it all of a sudden abruptly ended. I still don't understand. The young people who attend that church also tend to be very judgmental and mostly all the same. Most young people that attend go to MontCo (the local community college) or have attended MontCo and *love* living in Montgomeryville/ Hatfield, or whatever, and are all white and Republican. I lean more Democrat, do not want to live in the Philadelphia suburbs with all middle-class,White people my whole life, and do not feel that a lot of the people who attend this church are that intelligent. There I said it. It's mean, I know, but it's how I feel. Not everyone I have encountered is like that, but I feel that most I have met are.
I don't expect to go to church and constantly have deep, intellectual conversations, or expect people to be liberal, especially in a Protestant church in America, but I do want a church where I can meet different kinds of people, not just white, 20-somethings, who go to MontCo and believe that men are more superior to women. I literally sat at a diner after church on Sunday near a guy from the church talking to another girl, basically saying how men and women are "so different" and women are "so much more emotional" than men. That is not true. Man or Woman, Black or White, young or old, Disabled or Able-bodied- we are all the same to God. He loves us all. Needless to say, I am starting my church search, once again. Alone. I can do it. I did it in Denmark and if I can do it there, I can do it here.

Decisions, decisions
Hello! Life is moving fast. I can't believe it is almost mid-October. It feels like it was September 7 just yesterday.
Things are going really well at Indian Creek Foundation. I really love TASP (Therapeutic After School Program). I have a lot of fun doing that. I work Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays there. I lead "Game Club". Last week, we played War and Egyptian Rat Screw (well, we called it the Egyptian Rat Game). Then, I had them play soccer. That went pretty well, it just is kind of a violent game and was a bit too loud and stressful for some of the kids. I have enjoyed leading games, but never would have thought I would have been given that responsibility. When I worked at Camp Sankanac and Carson Simpson, there were way more athletic counselors that would lead Sports or Activities than me. It's kind of funny that I now am given that duty. I do like it, though.
I also TSS and work with two different boys. One is 3 and the other is 7. I do that for 6 hours a week, and I like it. My only dislike is that it is only part-time and I get no benefits. For the TSS, the families can cancel on you and you don't get paid. You are also not paid mileage, which kind of stinks. I am going to be getting a new case in Hatfield in a couple of weeks, which will bring me up to 24 hours a week, but that still isn't enough.
I do, however, have an interview with Melmark in Berwyn this coming Wednesday. It is full-time, offers benefits, and I wouldn't have to drive all over the place- I'd work in a school. They also offer tuition reimbursement, which is awesome! Indian Creek does not. The only downsides are that it is 30 miles away from me in Willow Grove, I have to pay tolls ( about $13.30 weekly), I'd need to buy a newer car to be able to handle the drive, and I don't particularly like the Main Line. I thought I was leaving that area forever, but maybe not. I'll keep you posted.
Today, I went to Bryn Mawr for an open house for the Social Work graduate program. I was very impressed. Bryn Mawr reminded me a lot of Eastern, the way the roads are getting to and from the school, and the Social Work building is old like a lot of the buildings at Eastern are. It basically is a more prestigious, non-religious version of Eastern.A lot of women, much like Eastern is, too. I also went to a grad open house last week at Temple. I was also impressed with their program. It is a bigger program and they didn't have as entitled an attitude as Bryn Mawr, but BM is a higher ranked Social Work program. I feel more called to live and work in an urban environment. Temple would probably be cheaper. I am looking at UPenn, too, but don't think I'll get in. They are more research oriented, I hear, and I don't have much research experience.
As you can see I have a lot of decisions to make. Today was also Homecoming at Eastern and I got to see Catherine, who I hadn't seen in a while. It was nice to be back at Eastern. They re-did McInnins and it looks very nice. Tonight, is UM Homeshow and it is Alumni Band. I couldn't make the practice in the morning, but it will be nice to see people that I haven't seen in a while.

Moving on
Hey!
It is definitely beginning to feel like fall. I can now whip out the long sleeved shirts, jackets, jeans, and put away the shorts and summer clothes. I remember a year ago when I was abroad, I had left for Milan in early October. The weather in Denmark at the time was remarkably warm and in Milan, Italy it was pretty warm- about 80 degrees F. When I came back to Copenhagen a week later, however, it was suddenly much colder, which was a shock. Wish I was going on a trip to Milan right now!
Indian Creek is going well. I love the after school program. I led games this past Friday. The kids were more hyper and not listening as well. One of the kids brought Dutch Blitz, which is a super hard game, and is especially hard for kids with Autism. We also played Steal the Bacon, which went alright, except for the fact that the kids were real loud and not listening.
I start the other part of my job, TSS, where I'll work with clients one-on-one to help reduce unwanted behaviors and increase coping skills and help to pass along the skills to the parent. I have observed two other TSS workers working with other clients and am going to one tomorrow. I then have a 12 hour training, and then I will start the other part of my job.
I quit Panera last Monday. I have been with the company on- and - off for almost two years, which is crazy to me. I started working at Panera to make money to study abroad and for some insane reason decided to start working there again (at a different location) in February until now. I practically now could be a manager, which I have no desire to be.
Now that the the weather is getting colder, more people are coming to Panera, and more people = more problems. I was planning on working at Panera every Saturday, since Indian Creek is only about 30 hours a week to make some extra money, but working last weekend completely changed my mind. Last weekend was really awful. The employees that work at Panera who A. Care and B. Know what they are doing, all left for college, so they hired a LOT of new people. It is really frustrating because things are not running smoothly and no one but me, really, knows how to do things properly.
The customers that weekend were mostly pretty awful.Very impatient and condescending.We had one woman start screaming at us because before when she came to Panera there were croutons in her soup and she doesn't like croutons. She the proceeded to very closely watch the line prepare her food. Before they were even finished putting her side on the plate (an apple) she takes her plate and starts screaming, literally screaming, about how she can't believe they forgot her apple and oh now there is soup spilled on the side of her bowl! They give her a new bowl of soup and she then starts yelling about needing to see a manager. My manager was no where to be found because she was taking inventory in the baker's walk in and couldn't hear us. The woman eventually calmed down, but it was kind of scary. I'm pretty sure that woman had some sort of mental illness.
That weekend, I also had an issue with a manager taking my phone for leaving next to my register behind the receipt printer (where no customer can even see) without saying anything. What am I in middle school? "A zero-tolerance policy for phones! If we see it or hear it, we must take it away!" That was a policy my high school. The last time I checked, I was out of high school, though to be fair, many of my Panera co-workers are in high school. I am a fairly mature person and would like to be treated like one. The manager who took my phone (and my other co-workers, mind you) clearly thinks differently. If she had warned me and said "Hey! If I see your phone there again, I will take it" that is one thing, but she took it! I confronted her about it and told her how I felt and she goes, "I shouldn't have to warn you, you signed the handbook!" Yeah, two years ago... I did get my phone back, though.
Needless to say, I'm pretty done with Panera. I have one more shift and then I'm done. Yesterday, I worked and it wasn't to bad. Probably because I worked with a manager who I like and also worked with at the Wayne location, too. Hopefully, I will be able to find another little source of income.
I also have been training for a 5K with this program called Couch to 5K. I am currently in week 4. It starts off slow, running for 60 sec, then walking for 90 seconds during week one and it gradually goes up from there. I think I may be signing up for a 5K with my friend in October. I'm a little nervous, but it should be fun! Today, I ran/ walked 2.5 miles, which is crazy! I could barely do a mile before.
Sorry this post was so long. I had a lot to say. I am little sad to be leaving Panera, but I just can't imagine working there during XMas. I did that once in 2010, and NEVER AGAIN!

September
Hello!
I can't believe it is already September. I was not in America during the fall last year, so it is a little strange to be here with the season getting cooler. I remember coming back in December and it being cold and I still had summer clothes in my dresser at home.
I started my job on Friday at Indian Creek. I really liked it. I will start the TSS Worker stuff within the next couple weeks. I did the after school program on Friday. I was a little nervous about working with kids with Autism, but I found the kids in the program to be fun and not too difficult. Part of duties include being assigned two children and keep count of their behaviors. Each child has goals. My one client had a goal to keep on track with activities and not just walk away without saying sometime to the person they are with that they were done playing. I had to keep a tally of every time he interacted with another peer and every time he kept to himself.
The majority of the kids in the program are boys. A lot of these children are very, very intelligent, they just lack the ability to pick up social cues. I got to lead a game with the kids called social skills where they got to practice how they would react in different social situations, e.g., "pretend you see a friend playing a game you don't know how to play. What could you say to your friend to get them to teach you how to play the game?"
Last night, I got go out with some friends that I went to high school with. It's been a couple of years since I have seen some of these people. My one friend is getting married in January and will soon be buying a house! Ahh! Can't believe I am so old. Also, I saw many, many people from Upper Moreland. It was weird. There were also two UM teachers there. I never had these teachers, but it was pretty weird none the less.
I am very happy to have a job in my field and I hopefully will get more hours soon!

I got a job!
Hey all! I got a job!!!! Yay!! It is at the Indian Creek Foundation in Souderton, PA. I will work as a TSS Worker and in their after school program. Unfortunately, it is only part-time so I will have to keep my job at Panera and am not offered benefits. It is kinda far away, but I only have to go 3 days a week. In the TSS part of my job, I would only be given clients who live somewhat close to me.
I did have an interview about a week ago with Foundations Behavioral Health in Doylestown, PA. I am supposed to hear back from them sometime tomorrow. If they do offer me a full-time job, I may have to take it, but I'd feel bad about going against my word with Indian Creek. My concern with the job I took is that what happens in May when kids are out of school. Am I out of a job then? I don't know.
My sister is moving back to Eastern today. It's going to be weird not starting school this fall. Although it has been two years since I have had to start school in the fall, this time a year ago I was in classes for DIS. Though actually, this time a year ago it would have been 7PM and I would have probably been at my host families house, awkwardly watching some Danish show with them, or have been down in my room trying to get all things I wanted to get done on the internet completed before the internet was "turned off" before 9PM. Thank goodness that DIS was able to provide me with a 3G thumb drive to hook up to my computer, because I don't know what I would have done.
This time 3 years ago, it was my sophomore year, I had moved into Doane, it was really hot, there was no air conditioning. I remember having to meet with my ex at the time to get an official apology from him for hacking into my facebook. I really did not want to have to talk to him, but it needed to be done. I remember he wanted to hug after I received his apology and I told him that I didn't really like hugging people. Pretty harsh. But I don't feel too bad about it because he later got angry with me for telling a friend over facebook that we had broken up and that she shouldn't trust him. I don't remember signing a contract saying that I was not allowed to disclose any details of our past relationship.
Since that time we haven't really spoken. He always acted really weird to me every time I saw him and would try to avoid me at all costs. Thankfully, I will probably never have to see him again.
Julie is going to be living in Sparrowk, which I have never lived in. Hopefully she likes it and has a good year this year. It is a little strange not having to go to school at all for the first time since I was four years old. Hopefully next year I will going to grad school, but I'm sure I'll be working at the same time, too.

I did have an interview about a week ago with Foundations Behavioral Health in Doylestown, PA. I am supposed to hear back from them sometime tomorrow. If they do offer me a full-time job, I may have to take it, but I'd feel bad about going against my word with Indian Creek. My concern with the job I took is that what happens in May when kids are out of school. Am I out of a job then? I don't know.

One year ago....
About one year ago today, I set foot in Denmark for the first time, jet lagged and exhausted. I remember being on the plane with other DIS students and almost as soon as we had exited the plane, we were in a line from there to get our passport stamped. The rest of that day was all a blur. I remember going to the Hilton Hotel lobby and waiting in a room. Two girls from my University who were also studying abroad with me, Kyra and Jen were also there. They were placed in host families. We were handed a packet of many, many papers and then told to wait for our host families.
I remember meeting my host mother and she brought the dog, Trile. There would be no way she would be allowed to bring a dog to a hotel in America. Or maybe she would have. She seemed very nice, and honestly the first thing I really do remember was that her English wasn't as great as what I was expecting. In my time with her, I think she understood about 75% of what I was saying. Or at least it sometimes felt that way. We took the metro and train to get to her home and I met Michael and their two children Eva and Jane (pronounced Yay- na) at Hellerup station.
It was a really nice day when I arrived a year ago. It was sunny and warm, maybe around 75 degrees. The neighborhood had a little lunch in the middle of the street, which was kinda cool. That day was the first time I had really been in a situation where everyone around me was speaking a different language, Danish, that I didn't understand, and it was really overwhelming. I became really exhausted so I tried to go to sleep. I slept maybe an hour, but couldn't sleep more, since I was so tired. Denmark was six hours ahead of US time, so 3PM in Denmark was 9AM in America, and I had spent the whole night up b/c I could not sleep on the plane.
I don't remember what we did the rest of that first day. At this point it doesn't matter. But I loved Denmark and wouldn't trade the experiences I had for anything.
At this point today, the new Fall 2012 DIS students will have gone to the opening ceremony and done other activities throughout the city. I remember getting so lost and confused the first day. Now, if I were in Copenhagen, I would easily been able to get around.
I will still continue to update this blog occasionally though my adventures are not as great as they once were. Thanks for all your support!

August already?
Hey!
Wish I had happier news on the job front, but I don't. I did not get the job at RHD, but I did just have an interview at Warwick Family Services as a Milieu counselor. I'm not too optimistic about this one. I, first, got to see a little about what I would do as a Milieu counselor. I was with a group of four boys who were 7, 11, and 12 years old. I watched them play a little and eat dinner. They seemed very hyper and didn't listen to their counselor. I then had the interview, which seemed really rushed. The interviewer seemed really tired and didn't seem to want to be there and told me I was "literally the 11th person" she had interviewed that day. Guess my chances of getting this job aren't too good. We'll see.
I need to move on from Panera. I did receive a rejection letter from another foundation that suggested I get a part-time position as a TSS worker. That could be a possibility. I could limit my hours at Panera (which are already cut real short) and then be making enough for loan repayments, which I have to start paying this month.
Word to the wise- do not do Parent Plus loans. Other than this, everything is fine. It will be weird not to be going back to school. I am just really frustrated with the job market. I had applied to also work in Norristown as a Abuse counselor. A girl I used to work with at Maple Village works there and I wrote to her on Facebook to put a good word in their for me. She never responded. So much for "networking".
We are supposed to be going down the shore to Wildwood, NJ for a few days. My dad doesn't really want to go and is upset about being diagnosed with diabetes, and my mom has some sort of infection and is in a lot of pain. I would like to go, but not if we are going to have a bad time. Plus we have to hang out with my cousin's cousin, who is so annoying and socially awkward, which isn't what I would call a vacation. He also has some really big crush on me, but I obviously do not reciprocate the feelings. Hopefully we will get to go again, but we'll see.
Hopefully, by the next time I write I will be employed. But I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

Still no job
Hey!! Still no job yet, but I have had some interviews. I had an Interview with Friends Hospital and the Selective Mutism Anxiety Research Center, but did not hear back from them, which means I was probably not hired. I wish places would call and tell you they have decided to not hire you, but guess not. Last week I had an interview with Resources for Human Development. I'm hoping something will come of it. I won't hear back until next week, however.
Michigan was nice, although it was kind of cold and rainy. I went down the shore to NJ with my friends a few weeks ago, which was fun. On July 6th, I went to the Coldplay concert. SOoooo awesome! Life keeps moving on. I really hope I get a job soon. It is time for me to leave Panera.

What do you do with a BA in Psychology?
Hey there!
I am now officially a graduate of Eastern University. Crazy! I am very excited to be done, but also a little sad. It will be weird to not be in school after having spent most of my life learning. Although this past semester was not as exciting as the one I spent abroad, it still was very rewarding.
I have been applying to a lot of jobs, but still no luck. I'm praying that I will get a job in the Psych field soon so that I don't have to work at Panera anymore. I keep hoping someone will call me back to set up an interview, but so far, nothing.
In a couple weeks, I will be going to Michigan with my family for my cousin's wedding. That should be exciting. I've never been out there before. Life keeps moving, and I am eager to see what will happen. Hopefully, one day, I will get to travel more of the world. For now, I just need to conquer the path to finding full-time employment.

The Home stretch
Happy Easter!
I can hardly believe that I have been back in the USA for four months, which was the amount of time I was studying abroad. Wow. These four months have dragged, unlike the fall semester. When I was there, four months felt like a really, really long time, but in reality it is just such a short time. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful there. I'd have loved to have been in Denmark in the spring. Some day I will be back.
In about one month I graduate from college! My goodness how time has flown! High school graduation seems just like yesterday. I have fervently been applying to jobs, but not much luck yet. I have heard back from two places to be a TSS (Therapeutic Support Staff) worker. You work one on one with autistic children. These places do not take money out of my paycheck for taxes, which makes me really uncomfortable. Also, they do not guarantee full-time, nor permanent hours. I think that's a sign that I should keep looking. I'll just keep working at Panera until that job comes along. Or I might keep Panera as a second job as those loan repayments will quickly be coming...
I finished my internship at the charter school last Thursday. I will miss Mariah and Tatyanna a lot, but not the disorganization of that school. I always felt like I was in the way, and they could never really think of things for me to do. I would have liked to have worked with more than two students, but it's okay, in the end it ended up being a positive experience. This coming Thursday, I will be going to my local high school to shadow the school psychologist. My experience with EU Academy's "school psychologist" was something to be desired... Let's just say that.
Life goes on. The next time I update this thing, I may be a graduate of Eastern University! Crazy!

Is it really March already??
Hey!
Yes, I have been pretty terrible in the blogging department. I can't believe it has almost been two months since I have blogged, nor can I believe that I have been back in the United States for almost three months. That is almost the length of time that I was abroad.
I remember at the three month point in my time in Denmark, I was feeling kind of down and was almost ready to go home. I had chipped my tooth, spilled water on my computer, and gotten my host family's bike stolen all within a few weeks of each incident. I am happy to report that my tooth is fixed, my computer miraculously works (see previous post), and well... I don't know about the bike because my host family has not had any contact with me at all. I e-mailed them around Christmas time and my host mom did e-mail me back, but that's it. It's a shame, but it looks like we are probably never going to talk again. It wasn't the relationship I was expecting, but I can't sit around and dwell on it.
I am actually half way through the semester. Today is the last day of my "spring break". Though I didn't do anything real exciting, except go to my internship for three days (18 hours!), get followed by some creepy, angry old man yelling at me while driving home from my internship one day, and yesterday I went into Philadelphia with my friend Renee. We went to the Flower Show, which was pretty, but I was a bit disappointed. The displays weren't as grandiose as I was expecting, and it was really crowded, not to mention really expensive. Thankfully, Renee and I only paid the student price ($22. Normally $32!). We also got to walk around a little bit downtown. I def need to go into Philly more often. It was kind of cold, but thankfully spring is coming!
I have also been applying to jobs. No luck yet, but hopefully soon! I have also resumed work at Panera again, but at a different location in Warrington, not Devon. I close, but I almost always close bakery, which is the easiest and most pleasant area of the store to close.
My life isn't as exciting as it was in Denmark, but I am finally starting to feel at ease about being back and am excited about my future. I graduate in about two months (May 12th). I'm so ready! I'll miss college, definitely, but I think it is time to move on.

The beginning of the end
Hey!
Yesterday was my last first day of the semester. I can't believe how quickly my time at Eastern has gone by. College went way faster for me than high school did that's for sure.
Eastern feels and looks a lot different to me. That also could be because I haven't been a student there since last May, but it just isn't the same anymore. It is weird to see the campus A. without a lot of the seniors from last year B. to see a bunch of freshmen who I have never seen before. It's also way different because I am now commuting.
Thankfully my commute yesterday wasn't too bad. I'm hoping this pattern keeps up. I only am taking 6 credits this semester, which is really weird. I have one class Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday at 9AM and then I have my internship on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Unfortunately, I can't start there until my fingerprint application from the government comes in. Hopefully, I'll be starting in February.
I also will be tutoring 6-8 hours a week at Eastern and will be returning to Panera in Warrington. Hopefully I will be able to adapt to working in a different store. I haven't worked at Panera since August so we will see how this all goes... I don't really want to work, but I need money for gas and such.
It is really weird to be back in school. Like one of my friends said to me, "You were here, then you were gone, now you're back, and then you'll be gone again". So true. I kind of already feel like I have graduated, but I haven't yet, unfortunately.
Graduating college is not really as exciting as graduating from high school. I have been looking at potential jobs and grad schools and it is a bit overwhelming. I will probably work as a TSS (Therapeutic Support Staff) with children who are autistic/ have other mental disorders and then work and go to grad school. I really want to move to the city. I would love to live in New York, but I think it would be cheaper and makes more sense for me to live in Philadelphia.
Well that is all. Nothing too exciting. I'm sure as the semester gets moving I will be busier. I really miss Copenhagen! I wish I could be back for another semester.

Change and Growth
Hello.
So I have been back home for a little more than three weeks now. It has been really good to be home, but also very boring. For most of my breaks, I usually am busy working, but this year I have no job so I feel like I have too much time on my hands. Which is strange. I guess I never realized how much I like to keep myself busy.
I start classes up again in about a week, so that will be good. The one class I am taking, History and Systems in Psychology. It is basically a culminating course in Psychology that mixes Philosophy and Psychology. I have never really taken a Philosophy course before, so I am not sure how much I am going to like this course, plus it is the most difficult Psychology course offered at Eastern, but I'm sure it will be fine.
I should be starting up my internship soon at the Eastern University Academic charter school in East Falls. I just have to wait for all my background check clearances to go through. I am very excited! I am supposedly working with the school social worker and since I want to become a school psychologist, it would be a great opportunity to see someone in that kind of field in action.
Yesterday, I went to this group called Thrive, which is basically like a college and career group that meets every Tuesday nights at this church. I have heard good things about it. I went with my sister, but it was really awkward. I supposed going to something where there are 200+ people attending and you don't know anyone can be very intimidating. I'll go a few more times, and hopefully it will get better. I have hope. It's always hard to put yourself out there like that, but if you never do, you'll never experience anything new. Being put into uncomfortable situations creates change and growth.
I also have been doing some research about graduate schools. So far the schools closest to me that have school Psychology programs are: Temple, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Rider University, Lehigh University, and Millersville University. I would probably most likely go to Temple or to PCOM. Or wherever I get in. This wouldn't be until atleast fall of 2013. But you know me. Always planning ahead. I mean I started planning when I would be studying abroad in April of 2010...
