It truly has been a hectic last few weeks. It is hard to believe that this is the last week of classes before finals! It really does feel like the year just started. I was just moving my things in. Just saying hello to my friends. Just starting my classes. As I look back on the last few months, I am amazed at all of the work I have accomplished--all things I feared would never get done. Here I am. I am closing in on the end of the semester, a bit weary and apprehensive but with a lot of excitement.
The Social Work Christmas Party was yesterday night. It was so much fun. We met at one of the professor's homes. She made lasagna, garlic bread, and punch. Other members brought extra goodies to share. The turnout was small, but it was still a lot of fun. We ate, painted ornaments, and exchanged White Elephant gifts. My professor's three children also joined the festivities. It was such a great chance for people to come together in celebration of the holiday season and enjoy each other's company. The roads were slick and the visibility poor on the way back, but everyone made it safe (thank goodness).
I am thinking ahead on the things I have still to do: a final paper and a couple of take home tests. I also have a "performance" piece for my Practice 3 class. We met today to finish up the lyrics to our song. Yes--we must sing (or rather, rap!).
I am anxious to go home for break, but I also realize that there is so much to do. While it seems overwhelming, I know I can do it. It is one more step on my journey.
