Some stuff my son brought back from Bellingham for me..   Wendy's Chili was OK...nothing like you get at the restaurant.   Tim's Chiips are hot lol.  The Bold Chex Mix are awesome.. brought me back 3 bags...that is the last one.  The beer is already gone.

I confess that I'm a little nervous about running my first 5K in years since I broke my foot.

It's a St Patricks Day run and but figured 5K was worth it for the reward of green beer when I finish! 🙃😃

 

Also.... Patron Silver Tequila and Earl Grey Tea (Think London Fog) frosting on a cake are a most delightful combination!

I wish I could still run.  I  partially tore my Achilles 15 years ago.  Did not need surgery but was told  not to run anymore. By the specialist.   It still acts up from time to time. I used  to run 5 miles every every 2nd day.

I cringed when I read the Achilles tear news and one just simply does not argue with a specialist unless you're ready for the consequences!  And it's adding insult to the injury of not being able to run anymore for it to act up periodically.

I used to run pretty much every day...but never quite made it to an ultra-marathon. I just cheer-lead for those insane peeps!

I have just never trusted my left foot since I broke it.. can't seem to get past the placement part lest I roll it over to the outside even though it has healed up very well. Have tried different running shoes and everything but it's not so much a foot problem, I think, but a memory of what the break sounded like from INSIDE my ears!

I may not be up at the front of the pack but hey, GREEN BEER!! 😂

I won't graduate til sometime next year but I'm honestly not looking forward to it, because that's when school ends and work life begins 

 

I'm not passionate about social work, but I've never been passionate about jobs or working in general, there's never been anything that's jumped out as something I avidly want to do 

 

At this point I question whether I want to do social work at all, or whether graduating will mean I'm actually qualified to do so, or whether I'll just end up using my schooling to open other doors

 

The doubts and uncertainly are bothersome, it's taken years of my life and a good amount of money to get to this point and I'm not even sure I want what I've signed up for anymore, I'll learn about this or that and think "well, learning about this just makes me not want to do it"

 

It's been an ongoing thing I've mentioned to profs and classmates, I don't know what I want and I'm not sure whether I believe I can be effective at the role I've been pursuing either 

 

I've little interest in participating within the economic rat race but that's the world we live in, I have to make money

to me you seem like a very thoughtful and sensitive person, I think once you begin helping people it might seem like a better choice. I hope so .

some of this sounds a bit like impostor syndrome. what exact type of role are you pursuing? there's a lot of variation in what you can do with a social work degree.

 

i can relate to not enjoying or being passionate about work/jobs, btw. it just sucks.

Part of it is that the more I learn about social work, the more heavy and significant it all seems, at the end of the day it's about individuals, groups, and their lives and that's not insignificant or something to take lightly 

 

I'm hoping that my fourth year practicum, and my work experience between now and then, will help ease some of my doubts

 

I've spoken to people who are convinced I could be excellent in this field, and that it's a natural fit, but I suppose on some level I'm not sure I believe that myself 

 

On some level I'm also scared of having put so much into something and not being able to do it effectively, but most folks want to perform their roles effectively one way or another

I've thought that, yeah 

 

And I'm not really sure, it depends on who's hiring for what tbh, that's my stock answer when folks ask what I want to do 

 

And you're not wrong, it being a generalist degree is part of why I chose to go this route in the first place, there is a lot you can do with it
