Wow, this is great!

[AngieDoogles]

The first pic is a my schedule from this semester. The second is next semester. Do you see how much more white space there is next semester?? That means I'll actually have some free time!!!! :)

[rivermom]

You have a lot of classes to "practice" Angie. What are you practiceing? LOL :D

I'm glad your load isn't as heavy next semester - You are due for a break!

[DianaB]

You have taken a lot of hours this year. It'll be good to see you have a little extra time (so you can be with us!!)

The actual course name is Social Work Practice Foundations I and II. It's to "practice" our skills in the community rather than just learning about theories in the classroom. The Practice courses are the continuation of the HBSE (Human Behavior in the Social Environment) courses where we have to actually apply the knowledge by doing a semester long project. Practice 2 is for larger populations (groups, communities, organizations) and Practice 1 is for individuals and families.

Maybe I just confused you more...but it's complicated to explain. lol

Thanks for explaining all that. It sounds very interesting actually. And busy. ;)

[Janet]

Hope you'll spend a lot of that time here Angie. Does look like your classes are interesting though.

[Gina]

Sounds very interesting.. Glad that you will have a lesser schedule . Boy how do you kids do it!! lol

How much longer do you have? You must be nearing graduation if you're in the field.

The people you'll be working with in the field have no idea that an angel is coming to help them. You're going to be so wonderful at this Angie!

I can't wait to hear stories about your fieldwork.

I have one more semester after the next one and then field placement which is where I work a full time job and get 16 credit hours--and unfortunately no pay. :( But at least I'll be done with school after that. :)

I mostly have electives left. I'm taking all journalism electives and then I can get a second degree in only two semesters if I want. Helps to keep my options open.

Thanks for the compliment Judy. You are such a sweetheart!

[judy]

The second degree would be in Journalism right? That's an exciting career!

[AngieDoogles]

Yes. :) I agree, I think it would be exciting as well, but I'm not sure about getting two degrees yet. I think if I let myself, I'd be in college till it's time for me to retire! *sigh* Too many things I'd like to learn about. lol

But then on the other hand, I get one free class every semester while I'm working for the DCS...so when I'm done there, I'd only need one semester to get the Mass. Comm. (journalism) degree.

Too many decisions...

Maybe as time goes on and you get further into your classes the decision will be easier for you. Either way - you deserve a huge pat on the back for all you've done already. You and dedication go hand in hand girl!!!! :thumbup:

The only problem is, I don't have much time left. lol. I turned in my intent to graduate form a few weeks ago! :eek: Time really has flown by. I guess the good thing about a second degree, is that you can go back whenever you want to finish it and there's no pressure.

Way to go Angie!
I'm so proud of you. You're a very dear young lady and are making excellent choices for yourself.

Way to go!

Aww, thanks Tink. You are such a sweetheart.

It helps to make good choices when you have a supportive husband, a wonderful and sweet mother, and the best group of online friends anyone could ever ask for! ;)

It also helps that she is a very smart girl with a good heart.

[Tink]

I agree Debbie.
It truly shows she was raised well and responded appropriately.

[Janet]

Angie I think it's so wonderful that you have plans. So many today don't have. It just sounds like you've put a lot of thought in what you want for your future and I admire that so much.

[AngieDoogles]

Aww, you guys are too sweet!

I always have big plans...then I change my mind about a hundred times. It's pretty funny actually because I get so excited and then think of another option and I get excited about that one too and have a hard time choosing. I guess I'll just have to go with the flow and see how many of my plans actually become reality.

Life just has too many choices. lol

[DianaB]

You are so smart that you can do whatever you set your mind to, Angie!! I'm very proud of you and what you have planned for your life. You set goals and strive hard to reach them.

I think you guys have more faith in me than I deserve. lol

[Janet]

I always had plans too Angie. I wanted to be an elementary teacher, hairdresser, dog groomer, and Veterinarian, plus a few other things I can't recall right now. I kept getting side tracked and now I'm a bus driver...go figure.
