I am bored :-(

I am tired of winter break already...

I am reading book, watching movie, sleeping a lot, drinking with friends but I feel I am not productive...so I am bored :-(

I can do all that when I am doing something productive too...ah!!!

Journey within journey

It was a cold morning and I was given a shock, not because it was cold morning but because it was a day full of shocks...And I had no idea how and what to say. I didn’t know how to react when I was told that my field instructor was let go from his job. His job was my internship. In normal case scenario, it shouldn't make a difference but it makes a huge difference in my case.

After hours and hours of shock, I am still in shocked mode…oh so I started my internship later than other USC Social Work students. I was promised that I will have a good internship and it will help me grow as an MSW. I stayed at my internship for couple of months but not as an intern but as a girl who acted like an intern but was an observant. I observed what was happening, what was missing, what was needed and what could have been possible, but....but I was mere an observant so I didn't say a word. And today when I was about to meet my field instructor, I was told he is gone which means my one and only chance to move up from an observant to a case worker, or a therapist or a counselor was dead before it even took a shape, it was born...

As a result, I spoke with my seminar professor but the issue remained unsolved until he finds out what is plausible and how to fit us (oh the fun is I am not all alone) in everything. Seriously I will be real mad if they won't let me Graduate because my internship was messed up...ah! Life you never tend to stop surprising me. I love my life and its changes, my life and its surprises – oh dear life, your surprises and changes are not new to me dear...I know you from ages, from my old days!

Oh I will get over you harsh time, I will win over you, One day I will !!!

Post Finals

Finals were over for me by 2am on Thursday and since then I am simply lazy and hyper at the same time. I slept almost three days in a row. I didn't even realized how tired the whole semester made me...and especially nighters during the finals kicked me. I am still struggling to get my normal schedule back.

Anyways, so on Saturday I had my timing to register my classes. I saw the web registration at around 10 and it was as if all the classes were full, but when I checked my web registration at 2.45 it had open spots and I felt so much better. I know there are many students who complained about the web registration and i might have been one of them but luckily one click and I got all the classes registered, and all those I wanted.

So there are three steps in web registration, you add a class, you schedule it and then you sommit changes followed up by submitting the changes, if it has went through. At 2.57, I added my classes and scheduled it...the second it hit 3:00, I clicked commit changes and then it went through and I submitted. My friend who was next to me and registering, and was doing the same thing, got a little messed up and couldn't get all the classes she wanted. By the time the clock hot 3:03, all the classes were full and mostly closed...wow!

I know it is first come first serve but at times its annoying to have a web registration of sort but at times its blessing because I can do it from anywhere and it is first come first serve...who ever clicked first got their favorite classes...rest, had to adjust their schedule again, and as much as i know most of them had to adjust, like I had to for the first time when I registered. I think I got the secret of how to register perfectly, so hoping the same for next time too.

BTW, wow....I am still getting over this fact that the first semester is already over...dang!
