3rd year

As i approach the end of third year Im realizing how much I've learned about myself and my future in Social Work.
The practicum at Brit was definitely a huge learning experience and only further instilled confidence in my passion to work with youth and kids.
But as far as career oportunities are concerned, i feel the need to expand my borders beyond youth work and experience being in more of a multi-disciplinary environment. At the Children's Hospital, i gained so much purpose in myself, and a real definition of my role, through collaberating with other professionals. Something about each individual having thier own definitive role in helping the patient, really empowered me and pushed me to create my own framework of practice. I miss it!
As for the summer, ill just have to make the most of summer school and no traveling.
What a downer!
I miss abby so much!
Of course i miss my friends, and my family, but there is this hurt I get every time I hear her voice in the background when im talking to Mom, or Corey on the phone. And when I see her face in the picture frames on my shelf, i just want so badly to be around when she's if growing up so quickly. AAAHH!
Well, I do have a lot to be thankful for. Im healthy, loving school and my friends.
I have a good job, and money to spend, a great apt., and a gorgeous city all around me!

Heard back from Columbia today.
I wasn't expecting such an enthusiastic response. Looks like I may be in NY baby!
But then again, do i want to spend another 2+ years in school after just completing 5?
I guess ill cross that bridge when i come to it. In the mean time, things are looking up
