When life gives you lemons, make lemonade (and if you're in gradschool... add vodka!)

Hi friends!

I just realized it has been 2 months since I last posted... my bad! So to catch ya'll up (yes I have started using ya'll; the south has corrupted this midwestern girl!) I was able to go home to my family in St.Louis for a month to celebrate the holidays. It was a wonderful time but not very relaxing as I have 3 teenage brothers that rule the house and my room had been turned into a storage room which meant I slept on the couch for 4 weeks. Needless to say, when I got back to Texas I scheduled a massage right away!

Now I am back into classes, internship, and work. I am really excited for my classes this semester as they deal with more macro topics. In social work we deal with clients in a micro, mezzo and macro setting.

Micro- individuals
Mezzo-groups
Macro-communities

We already have already  begun talking about internships for next year! Grad school is going by so fast!

This semester one of my classes is on policy. One of our requirements for the course is to create a blog to submit class assignments regarding current events in policy. Therefore I will be using this blog to submit those assignments. I am hoping it will give you an idea of what the social work profession discusses. It is very important to note that my blog posts relating to my class with be only my thoughts/ feelings/ reflections and not the opinion of all social workers or all of my classmates.

But don't worry, I will still post some fun things not relating to my class! So keep tuning in!

I better get going, I've got class in 30 minutes!

LIVE.LOVE.SOCIALWORK

Yours truly,
Katelyn
