I feel a huge sense of relief after having turned in my first grad school paper yesterday. I definitely way overthought it and obsessed too much. The damn thing was only 1.5 pages and only needed one reference cited yet I had four. Okay, I know I need to relax and take it easy. I get it. 🤣
Today my aim is to get the assigned group project completed and get a research topic for the 25 page paper I have due at the end of end of the semester. If I can get the work done on the group project and at least start on a research topic, I will be happy.
I’m still aiming for that 4.0 this semester. I’m capable of it and I want it badly. Not to impress my professors but for my own satisfaction because I am capable of this. I want that dean’s list. Plus, I could get preferential federal employment with the superior academic achievement program if I have a GPA greater than a 3.5. I might want to work for the VA after I graduate because I care about veterans.
By the time I graduate, I think politically things will be more stable. Trump will be out of office and/or dead. I am willing to bet we will have shifted to more progressive thinking. We may be better off all around. At least here is to hoping. I wouldn’t choose social work as a career if I did not have hope.
