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.

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

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!

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

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...
