Everyone has an identity or something that they introduce themselves as..right? Like, hi, my name is John and I'm an engineer. They say you start finding your identiy in your 20s..heck I still have a hard time finding my keys every morning. I got into graduate school for my masters of social work...I guess I better start identifying myself as that. But...how does a 5'1" girl who looks like she's 12 convince people she is a social worker? Tough crowds I would say. Most people think I'm the kid and the kids are the social workers. Maybe that's what keeps it interesting. Anyways...I got asked the other night what I do and I explained. Anyways what does my job look like aka how do I get through the weeks? Lots of funny things happen that is for sure. I also drink on the weekends to make up for the stress (kidding...kind of!). I also take alot of vacations. Here are some things I've learned in my time so far.

1. Little kids love to sing and dance
2. All kids want to become rappers (some think they already have record deals with some big name guys!)
3. It never fails that the kids think its funny they are taller than me.
4. Some people will call you Miss (insert name here). Makes me laugh...because I look younger than them.
5. Your day is never what you expect it to be.
6. People disappoint and continue to surprise you even at work.
7. If you take the time to listen to someone you usually get to hear something amazing.
8. You can't bring your personal problems to work with you...leave them at home. Come in and act happy even if you're not.
9. When you think you've failed...just try harder next time.
10. People think I'm funny? I mean I know I think I'm funny but apparently others do too.

Anyways I think I'll stay a while and keep chugging along. I don't know how people have jobs that they hate going to everyday. That would be my demise. We'll see though talk to me in 6 months when i've started grad school. HA.
