I am in Graduate school...god help me.

It is now 3 weeks into it, just enough to really feel the pain of it, and if all goes well I will be a legitimate "social worker" in 4 years.

I have also been informed that I have been put on a list to possibly be a commencement speaker in May...lol...

No stress there! Not at all!

My courses are sort of painful, really, well two of them are.

One class is on policy and is almost like a summary of my life, so I am more piecing parts together and flipping it and learning about my own oppression and it is fascinating.

Having said that, my homework load is literally painful, and so I need to leave it at this for now, because like if I am not reading or writing I should be...if I am peeing, showering, eating, sleeping, I should be reading or starting on a writing assignment...it is insane. It is obviously not actually happening. Luckily everyone else in my classes is freaking out the same way.

I have a feeling more than anything APA format is going to make me want to hit my head hard on very hard surfaces.

hello crazy world of maybe someday getting paid to do what I do anyway: i.e. fighting systems and bullshit...

4 years of initiation to do so...
