Disscussion Board Rate

This is the first time taking summer classes and I love summer. I also work as much as I can. For the past couple summers, I have been working as summer college help at Marathon Cheese and making 13.92. This summer instead of working there, I am just working my two minimum wage part time jobs as much as I can so I can still make some good money and get those bills paid. So when I am not working and not at my intern, I like to chill and hang with friends and I am not use to doing homework in the summer. Although, I wanted to get ahead so that's not a good excuse and I need to start participating better in the Dissucion Board. For the most part, I make my post by Wednesday or whenever its due, but then I slack in keeping up and checking it three times a week and replying to people on time when they say something. That is something I am going to spend more time on though so that way I am having a better experience in Field 2. I will work harder at it. =D

GOALS

1. Helping the PRC raise money to help keep this place going.
2.Spending more time in Play Group and working with the families that go to the PRC more than I am now.
3. Being able to go on many house visits and learning about different cases and what the Parent Educator's job all consist of.
4. Helping a Parent Educator work on a case.

Yesterday I helped with the play group to learn when I take over.

Hmm, so how am I doing right now with this semester? FREAKING OUT! lol. I enjoy my intern and the people here, its just hard to get all my hours when they are open only on the days I have class in Wausau. But I will make it work, we have a garage sale and a few other things going on that I can pick up some hours. Also i'm worried about my grade in this class, but I will see how things turn out at the end of it. I have been very stressed out this semester. Alot going on in my personal life, but hoping that I'm on the right track now and things wil go a lot more smoother for me. I'm pretty happy now and I really enjoy this program and my intern! :)

I get feedback at my intern by having a monthly review with the director at the Parent Resource Center. We talk about anything and everything; things going on in my life and how things are going on at ntc and at the internship. I really enjoyed the first one and felt it was very helpful to me. She lets me vent to her and she gives me helpful tips with class and work and time managing skills.

learning plan 7

I've been eating a little something in the morning before leaving for class, work or my intern. I at least try to eat a banana or a granola bar before I leave. I also have been working on my newsletter for my intern this week at my intern. Some things on my self-care plan I need to work on a lot more is going to bed early. Not only have I not been going to bed early, i've been only getting a few hours of sleep at night and then being really worn out all day and sleeping and napping when I can and I get nothing done, it's really agrevating! I'm hoping next week to work on finding time to work out and going to bed a lot earlier.
Yes, I have my resume all up to date with activites and jobs.

I'm thinking of probably doing my interview with Rachael Loucks from the Parent Resource Center where I intern in Medford. I think she'd have some really interesting information and I would enjoy the interview a lot! I just recently printed out my resume for applying for field 2, there are some things that I did add on there that weren't on there last year. As I spend more time at the NTC, i'm learning a lot about myself and how much I enjoy this program and how much it is the program for me. I feel more confident also in this program and knowing what I may do in certain situations. Its a great program! I'm finally starting to feel comfortable in this semester then I did at first. Its very overwhelming. I'm going through alot in my own personal life and with finances and then with being at school so much doesn't allow me to have as many hours a week as I would like, but I'm managing and schools important so i'll be just fine.

field one

I have no started my portfolio yet, I geuss I probaly should! I really don't know, I geuss I feel I have a lot of questions! Where do I start? Well I think that everything I do in Field must go in it, I'm assuming. I know i'll figure it out, it all seems so overwhelming, but once I get everything all organized its not so bad.


I've learned a lot from my courses I've taken that ties in with my fieldwork. You need all the classes because you need to know all that information. I've learned that confidentiality is a big thing and you REALLY need to learn what you can say to othes and what you can't, and if your not sure if you can say something, its better off you don't at all.

week four

I think compared to an online discussion based to a face-to- face, I think I enjoy listening to face-to-face disscussions better just because its easier to hear everyones side. However, I think I have more of a voice when Im online, I just like listening and understanding in a face to face environment.



Well, I realized this whole time, I actually was doing the response part wrong and not getting back in the conversation after I had started it so I need to improve by following directions given better. I geuss with all my classes, I'm feeling like im taking alot on with work and school and dealing with the issues im going through in my personal life as well. However, from now on i'm going to have my posts in by Wednesday. Then I will read the other posts and comment on them also by Wednesday and check back later in the week when I'm not in class and comment again. This way I can have better discussions in my online classes and use them for my other classes as well.

my intern

im excited to start my internship and nervous! itll be alot to take on but im excited. I have two jobs and every day they are open at the intern are the same days i have classes so those days will be very busy for me, but thats okay!! this week i learned that all my classes seem to be very interesting that i will be taking and that i will never have a close parking spot by the building and its so cold outside :( haha! but thats also okay! uhm, a good thing that happend this week is im just glad i found people from medford that have class the same day as me in wausau so we can carpool all together. and also im very excited for my 22nd birthday that is coming up (feb 7) im planning on going out next weekend with some friends so yippeeeeee. cant wait, will make sure my homeworks done before that weekend! ha =]
