As a first year student, I felt overwhelmed at the beginning of the year....

As a second year student, I have often wondered, "Are they trying to kill us?"

3 days of field...and 3 classes...are they kidding? Don't get me wrong...I LOVE my field placement this year. Being in SWCOS is a real blessing from the Lord. My field instructor is intelligent, efficient, and compassionate--and there are more scholarship opportunities for 2nd year students who have a SWCOS placement. I really like my classes--Dick Cook, the ED of SWCOS is one of my professors, and I think he is brilliant! But...are they trying to kill us?

I am so exhausted from working a full day at field and going to class in the evening...and everyone I talk to feels the same way! My situation is a little more complex because I still work a PT job (don't tell anyone!)...but this schedule is lighting a fire under my tail!

Please hear this: if you are a FT 2nd year student and you are tired--you are not alone. We all feel the exhaustion...and most of us are getting a caffiene fix before those evening classes...but we are only months away (May 16!) from having more sleep, more knowledge, and a versatile degree that will give us the right "credentials" to work for change in the lives of individuals and for the betterment of communities.

It's worth it.
