Good Evening, Despite only 6 hours of sleep, I had productive day at the high school and left feeling content. I met with a few of the guidance counselors about my newly-assigned cases and made phone calls to parents. I’m just so pleased to be working at such an awesome place with welcoming, friendly faces:) I’m also pleased that it’s apple season because I’ve been eating them in some form every day. Sometimes I think apples are boring because I…

Lunch
There’s nothing like a new coffee flavor to get you out of bed… The cinnamon bun flavor was really good, but not incredible. Creme brulee is a hard flavor to follow… But, I had one of the best bowls of oatmeal I’ve had all year. Just baked apples, raisins, and cinnamon sunflower butter mixed into a maple and brown sugar packet:) Work was just work today. I think the excitement of the first days has worn off, and the pressure…
Back to work I go. This weekend was quite fun and relaxing, but going to work sure feels productive. After all, I am essentially volunteering 1200 hours of my life to helping teenagers, which is a worthwhile use of a year in my twenties, right? Today flew by as we basically sat in meetings absorbing information all day long. Our only break was taken for a quick lunch. I enjoyed leftover carrots over a salad and a ham + laughing…
Friday just felt fab-u-lous! I think the weekends are going to have a whole new meaning for me:) After work, I got a hair cut and the head massage felt sooo good. I may have finally found a hair place that I like (and can afford) in Boston. I just got a trim, so you probably can’t tell a difference. My hair cut was in Fenway, so afterwards, I had to walk against hundreds of people going to the Red…
Hi Yall, The days have been flying by and I haven’t felt too tired from getting up at 6:30 [yet]. I spent more time organizing files today, got an email address (!) and learned about different opportunities within the school. In addition to my regular case load, it looks like I might be coordinating the Student Support Team, which is exciting, but very overwhelming at this point. I really need to get myself organized and mentally prepared for the busy…
My second day at my internship was a little bit boring as we spent the whole day purging old files and rearranging the current ones. I have multiple paper cuts. I also got to clean out a back room and make it into a more usable space, which was a fun project. I love cleansing/rearranging/organization projects, especially the end result of these kinds of projects. All of the interns were working so hard that we had to be reminded to…
Hello, Hello! Thank you all for your words of wisdom about the working world! I’ll keep them in mind in the coming months. My first day was swell. It began with a celebratory bowl of back to school cinnamon-apple-raisin oatmeal….probably one of the best bowls I’ve had in a while. My commute took a little bit longer than expected, but I still got there on time. I was walking in as all of the high school kids were arriving and…
Mornin’. I’m off to my first day day of work! Because I’m beginning my internship today, I wanted to start a discussion about adjusting to a full-time work schedule. I’ve been really spoiled over the last two years because my grad school classes were at night, so I’ve had the luxury of sleeping a bit later, working out in the mornings, eating a hot lunch at home, and making my own work schedule based on when I am most productive. I…
Hello. A good part of today was spent cleaning and getting organized for the start of my adult life on Monday. To fuel my morning, I enjoyed a AB, oats, jam, and banana parfait topped with oatmeal squares and a drizzle of Kodiak mountain berry syrup. Perfectly delightful, if I do say so myself. This morning I also went to a Healthworks spinning class. If felt sooo good to be in a class again; I’ve really missed spinning over the…
