Dean's recognition dinner
Today Dean Flynn from USC school of social work gave recognition to me as well as few other students who reached to the leadership and academic expectations set by school of social work. I was recognized for my secretary position with International social work caucus and my outreach position with rainbow caucus. It was an emotional yet inspiring time. Sadly, this event was held during the finals otherwise the fun could have continued even after the event was over.
I felt so inspired that I am all set to get my 3.90 and above GPA, and hard work on my leadership so I am able to get some good scholarships and some good money given by school, Amen...so looking forward to start a new year with fun, frolics and a lot of work....It is going to be insanely crazy but 2011-2012 I am ready for you or say i will be ready for you right after summer break lol.
Writing my last finals, love it!

Last Day of Classes
Yes, it was my last day of classes for the first year of Grad school in the US. I cant believe that it is all over...wait, I still have couple of final papers to write and one major test to give. I know I am excited and happy just with the idea that the classes are over, yay!!!
It is a major accomplishment for me because I was told many times that I cant do this and when I am done, I just want to look into those people's eyes and say, really, can you please repeat what you said...but the best part is I am not with those people anymore and hopefully I will never ever see them...YES! You mofos and biatches, I will never see you...thank god lol.
No regrets, no sadness, just happiness to achieve what I have achieved and no one is as happy as I am...thank you to my higher power, without you I was lost in the blind love of an addict and violent ass!!!
So with that all said and with that all off my chest, I am back to writing my papers which are due with in few days.
Adios,

P.S. I feel I am the true example of empowerment theory lol

Some dates and some updates!
Almost a month is gone by and I haven't written anything here. No specific reason, I wanted to write but just didn't take the first step. Actually I have been feeling weirdly depressed over the weeks so didn't write anything. I use to write a lot when I was sad but now I want to write when I am happy.
Okay so an overview: in last one moth I had spring break that went well resting and relaxing, and left a deep memory for me which will take a long time to get wiped off my heart. Emotional, romantic fool moi :-).
After spring break I got three midterm papers back, two individual and one group. Got a B+ in social welfare group paper and I got so mad that I reworked on the whole paper mostly by myself and resubmitted, now hoping that I get an A+ in that paper. Well, I am sure I will get an A+ for sure. Got an A+ in Human Behavior midterm paper and B+ in practice. I am sad that my professor didnt even explain why I got a B+ instead of an A+ and he wont explain even if I ask...oh well. Now the final is a group paper for practice and i am worried if I will get an A+ or a B+. I am not sure how I am doing in my grades even though I know my all grades...well simple hope that finals wipe off the old parts of midterms. I am feeling bad to go off y record of good grades but not sure how that happen. Maybe I was really depressed.
What else happened? Oh yeah I went to Sacramento for Lobby Days and met with legislators as a team leader. There were six people in my team. I am sure that we did a great job presenting the AB 12, AB 130/131, and AB 671. I joined National Association of Social Workers and guess I will stay member of this until I die lol...not sure though ha ha ha. About the Assembly Bills, check it out: http://www.naswca.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=114
Another update: hmm what to write, I turned 36 couples of weeks ago. Time seems its not passing by and life seems empty, well signs of depression so I started seeing a therapist and sadly haven't connected with her yet. She seems to be only touching the surface of my emotions and my life...but then I haven't seen her more than twice so cant come to any conclusion, nope not yet!!!
Over the last few weeks I have got determined to move out of my current place to a one bedroom somewhere close to school.
Oh a new update which makes me happy. I got chosen secretary for International Social Work Caucus and an outreach coordinator for Rainbow caucus - very existed and happy moi :-).
Rest I don't remember, will add to a new post when I will remember. Life is good, I am slow but I will catch up.
Trojan!
P.S. His Holiness Dalai Lama is coming to the USC as I previously mentioned and I am excited and eager to meet with him!

3D ME....
I do a lot of work on a regular basis, which I am required to do as a student or as a substance abuse counselor or as a therapist. Then there is a lot that I do on the side, which I am not required to do but I like to do such as volunteering at different agencies I belong to or designing something or the other or help a friend with his/her photo-shoots or teaching Hindi or participate in an inter-faith council or so much of unrelated crap which I enjoy as much as I enjoy my required work.
Often my friends ask me why I do so much when there is always lack of time, and when I am always running late to events and all when I get exhausted doing so much. I didn’t know at one point why do I do what I always did, but recently, I discovered that doing something or the other, which I am not required to do gives me that extra edge which we often see in 3D characters, and that edge is what makes me a real human. To see me as a real human, one probably needs 3D glasses otherwise it will be just a fuzzy Trojan to many!
Trojan!P.S. - Not to mention when one love multi-tasking, they need to get their sh*t together by managing time, and I am TRYING my best to learn how to do time management... Cant stop being a truthful either :-).
Loss or Lost
Its 1:11 am on Wednesday, and I have a paper due on Thursday at 4:00 pm. I have written only two lines in it which I took off from last paper as it is supposed to be the same population I need to work with. I can concentrate but I am unable to find the rationale behind it. I am not procrastinating but I am kind of lost and confuse on what to write. For the first part I did write an outline but I am still unable to understand the assignment this well that I write it. Either I am losing it or someone making me lose, but at the end its my loss, and I am not sure how to fix this. I am thinking of taking a small walk, come back and go to sleep but then that wouldn't solve any issues as deadline stands still and so is my paper, sigh!
On a completely another note, I went to see my professor today and told him to pull me out of my internship. We discussed issues related to it and tried different solutions but there was no response to it. At the end he told me to not to go to the internship until further notice, and I am not going to go. I am happy that at least I wont be wasting my time, but then I am sad that I wont get the chance to learn anything...well!
Still lost, still on the loss. Hoping the situation changes when I wake up. I am gonna read my book "Half The Sky"

An A+ and a B+
I will take it but wish I had both A+. In Human behavior I got an A+ worth staying up night after night and sleeping two to three hours a day. On the other hand I got a B+ in my Practice paper though I did expect an A. I am not pissed because I have yet not seen the graded paper. Overall I slept very little and worked hard and I am happy to get good enough grades, up until now. Will see how it goes until the end. Hoping my higher power is blessing me.
Adios,

Spring break - came and gone
And I am still hoping that I start my assignments which are due in few days, sigh! I enjoyed the relaxation of spring break but now I am back to grind lol. I am glad to be back to school life but there is something like unfinished business which I am waiting to finish but weirdly I am not sure what it is, strange feeling isn't it?
Anyways, I started a writing workshop which is not related to USC and really enjoyed it for couple of Sundays. It is five Sundays workshop so hoping I can create something out of it soon.
I am so bored! My internship sucks and I am not motivated to do anything the day I go there...I hate it at times but unless my professor will take me out, I will have to continue to go there, ah!
