It's amazing the difference a week can make. Last week at this time I was completely stressed out thinking about my upcoming orals. And now that I have just finished sitting through orals, I am so relieved I cannot even express it. Ok, I probably can but you get the idea. It felt really good to sit there as they were asking me question after question and actually have an answer or an opinion about it and be able to discuss professional issues and the various ways that I would intervene using the practice knowledge I've gained.
And what felt even better is that my orals chair, who I have had for three different classes and has known me since last year, gave me the greatest compliment. She told me that it has been interesting watching me and seeing the growth and progress I have made and coming into my own as a social worker. If you knew her and how incredibly intelligent and talented she is, you would realize what a huge compliment it was. It really made me feel good and gave me a great sense of self-confidence. Anyway, I am glad I am done with that and now I just have to finish out the next month and finish up the two classes I have before graduation. (Oh yeah, and get a job but I am not thinking about that right now.)
