Life

Well it's been a couple of days again. Not much happening here, did get some good news tho. Hubby got a job and the oldest is in for a visit and he has a job as well. With my little course we have a one week work placement and we had to give a list of places we'd like to go. I chose the DFC, cause it deals with aboriginal people mostly and that is something I'd like to get into. Helping families in need, but not be a social worker, I don't think I could do that. Plus it's 4 years of university and I'm not moving back to the city for anything.

I'm supposed to keep a journal for how the week goes to share with the class. More touchy feely crap :P Oh well can't get away without it. Last week for some reason I was all dressed and ready to go to school, at the door I just couldn't make myself go through it. It happened for 2 days. Not sure what was going on, maybe the depression is getting worse or am I starting to get panic attacks? Who knows? I don't.

Well that's it for now. :)

Just stuff

Well I don't blog much. Hmmm..... what to say today? Another week has gone by and still going to school and learning about myself. I can really do with out all the touchy feely crap, but it's not gonna happen so I might as well suck it up.

This week had 'Emergency First Aid' and I'll tell you if your not breathing, I'm going for help cause I just cannot get down on my knees to do CPR. My knees are still bruised and tender. :( As for the instructor well she can do with some lessons in being a people person. As they say you attract more with honey than vinegar. :)

We also watched some movies. 'Give Them the Pickle' and 'The Secret' both were good movies. The power of positive thinking. Not much else right now. Later all.

Another Week Gone

Well it's been another week of school and boy was it a doozy. I missed a day this week and apparently there was a big blowup between the rest of the class and the guest instructor. It was about whether little boys should be allowed to wear dresses and play with dolls. Now I have no issues with boys playing with dolls, but the wearing of dresses is something else.

1) Are the parents putting the child in the dresses? If they are then I believe the parents should be taken out back and ....... well you get the picture :)

2) Is the child the one wanting to wear the dresses? If it's the childs choice then fine with me. I'm all for freedom of expression from kids. I may not want them to go out in public dressed like that, but again it's their choice.

Enough of that topic. As a project for class we had to write about someone or someones who inspire us and why. We also have to present to the class. Well I chose my older brother for this for many reasons which I will not go into here. I sent him a copy of the project for his opinion and if there was anything I missed. He sent it back to me with very few changes and that it was no fair cause he was checking his email at work and to tear up was unmanly like. :) I liked what he added to it and I'll keep it that way.

As for other things that happened this week not much really.

My First Post

Ok here goes nothing. The first post is about a course I'm taking.

Ok it’s been about 4 weeks into the program and I’ve flat out refused to do a presentation that she gave us for an assignment. They kept bugging me to do the presentation because they all did it. I don’t see why I have to do something that I don’t feel comfortable doing. It’s the first time I said “ No I’m not going to do this” Other students have flat out refused to do stuff and she didn’t bug them about it and people in the class did not say that they felt ‘jipped’ about it. But for some unknown reason I seem to get put on for this. I have never before refused to do a project or presentation so I don't know what the big deal was about this. Who knows what people want. I sure don't.


This course has helped me to understand myself more tho. I have learned that I am not artistic and I'm methodical and controlling. Also in stressful and confrontational situations I tend to turn inwards and disengage emotionally and sometimes physically. I also learned that I don't want to work in a restaurant anymore, I want to do something in the community. Like be a support worker ( not a social worker ). Who knows it may happen :)
