Here I am in the final weekend of my class. It ends officially on Monday. At least, that is when I have to turn everything in. I have one final paper that I am working on this weekend and then I will be done. I have enjoyed this class immensely and have learned a lot from it. And one of the ways that this class differs for me from other ones that I have taken is that I look at this class as a springboard to other learning. The topics we have covered in elder law have been quite interesting, but I know that we have only touched the surface on many of them. I want to learn more about them. Things like Medicare and Medicaid can be extremely complicated and if you don't know your way around the system, it could be disastrous.
I do have to work this weekend as well, so I will be working on my paper when I have downtime at work. It's ok, I have permission! But I will tell you honestly that I am struggling with this paper. I turned in an outline several weeks ago that I got good marks on. I missed a few of the required things she wanted, but that's how it goes. Still, I was happy with the feedback. I have just had a hard time getting started on it. I know that once I get going, it will really flow. I just have this block right now. My topic is why aging members of the LGBTQ+ community fear going into nursing homes. It's a topic that I find engaging and it's close to who I am. I've found many great articles on the topic. It is simply going to be a matter of putting pen to paper. Or fingers to keyboard, actually LOL
Hopefully I can get my stress level down and be productive. I don't want to crap out at this point in the game. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
