Week 14

Monday and Wednesday of this week were spent arranging final products, producing a binder for the mentor/mentee program, and meeting with supervisors.  I got to have a wonderful lunch with Irene.  We talked about the structure of the practicum and my personal struggles being a student operating in a professional environment.  I updated her on my learning plan, and we spoke of social work as a powerful arena for social change on all levels.  The meeting was insightful and fully enjoyable.  I also got to catch up with my previous field instructor from the last practicum over lunch.  It's been such a tough week outside of the agency trying to piece together final projects for classes and make some last-ditch efforts to avoid getting a cold.  Boo for winter weather.
