Thought for the day

It has been a long time since I have blogged.  Mainly, it is because school, work and my internship are keeping me very busy this semester. But, it is also because I really don't know what to say these days. There is so much going on in the world, this country in particular, that it makes my head spin.  I have gotten very scared and depressed with our current political climate and have not really know how to express that.  It frustrates me that by the time that I have come to a point in my life where I have an interest in politics, due largely to studying social work, that this is the political climate we are in. It is very disheartening. I hate to be that person who creates his own bubble to exist in, but I have done that to a degree.  I avoid politics and the media whenever I can.  It's nothing more than some reality show circus mentality and I don't have the patience for that these days.

Anyway, school is going well, just very busy. It seems like every time I turn around, I have another paper to write.  Granted, none of them are extremely long papers, but never the less there they are. Currently working on 3 different ones.  Good times!  I am enjoying my internship, but I have to keep reminding myself that this is a learning process that sometimes moves slowly.  The residents where I work are wonderful and I am developing good relationships with them, which I enjoy.

And I have some personal things that I am working on and working through. When you're a student and constantly have stuff going on, there does not seem to be much time for anything else.  I have to work on that time management thing...as always, a never ending process.  There are things I need to do and people I care about that I need to make time for, simple as that.  It's just hard sometimes when you're trying to stay focused on one thing because that is your long term goal.  I will figure out a way to get it done, it's just a bumpy road at times. I keep thinking back to my parents and am trying to learn from their examples.  They both, when I was growing up, did so many things with their time that I often wonder how they did it.  Of course, they didn't have the internet and social media like we do today so that gave them a huge chunk of time LOL  But, I will get there one way or another.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and write a little something so that I can get myself back into this habit.  I enjoy the blog and need to keep it up more.  If I'm going to have a habit, it might as well be something constructive for me.  Enjoy your day!

Cheers
