I wish I can say that I haven't posted in a while because I am busy, but that is not that case. I have been enjoying my last couple weeks of summer, and now it is over...:(. I start my new job on monday, and I am anxious. I don't really know what to expect. It is exciting but scary. What my anxiety all comes down to is the fear that I won't be good enough. The women I will be working with have been in the field for a long time. Even though it has only been a few months since my internship ended, I feel like I have lost all of my "social work skills." At the end of my last internship I was pretty confident in my ability, even though I still have a lot to learn. I am hoping that once I am back in that setting it will all come back to me. I have to take this licensing exam as soon as I am eligible, and it is stressful. The amount of material I need to know is insane. There is no possible way a person can know every single theory, concept, diagnosis, and medication. The review book is like 700 pages. I didn't realize how complicated studying would be. If I would have known that I would have started studying in the beginning of the summer, but of course I suffer from an extreme case of procrastination.
But as sit here and watch Dr. Phil, I feel that my anxiety can not compare to the problems that the victims of the hurricane are facing. I mean, these people lost everything. I read yesterday that they need volunteers, and I would go down there in a heartbeat if I wasn't starting my job next week. So sad.
