Christmas in Canada

Well, I just completed my last Christmas break. Next Christmas I will (ideally) be graduated (that will happen)  and have a job (that's the ideal part). And it was a marvelous Christmas break! Mostly I....did nothing. I read lots of books and watched lots of TV and eventually got really bored. And then I hung out with lots of friends which was amazing! I definitely miss all things Canada when I am in Kansas. I also ate lots of turkey (and other delicious, home cooked, made just by mom food) and hung out with lots of family. It was nice to do lots of relaxing before my final semester of college (ever!...okay fine, until I decide to get a masters degree).
So what does this semester look like? In case you haven't been following my blog or just don't remember my last couple of posts (they were a long time ago, so I don't blame you) I will recap for you. Right now is a semester we like to call interterm. Basically the month of January is its own semester where you either go on a trip or take a class. I am taking a class. It is a child welfare class which deals with different things surrounding abuse and neglect. Most people might not think this would be a cool or interesting class. But I do! There is a lot of information crammed into a two week period but it is very interesting and definitely in line with what I want to do after graduation. And it will provide me with a lot of information for my internship.
Which brings me to my next thing...my final semester of college will be me working (for free) and taking a class one day a week that goes along with that. I will be working with Child Protective Services and learning a lot about the investigation of abuse and neglect. I do not know exactly what it entails, but I will let you all know when I know! I am really excited for it and to get my feet wet in the world of social work! It should be really good!
Well that is what my future looks like. Class, internship, graduation, and then nothing but question marks. We will see what the future holds...
