It has been fun. I am going to be very busy and possibly tired, but I am excited about my classes.. Especially the service learning portion of my Intro To Social Work class.
Seattle U is a Jesuit school, which means that they are really into social justice and giving back to the community, etc. So a lot of classes have a service learning component. Since I am a Social Work major, I am required to do the service learning option in my class. This means volunteering at a social service agency for 20 hours during the quarter. I worked out my service placement this weekend and I am going to be serving at Providence Hospitality House, a shelter for homeless mothers in crisis. I will get to do a lot of activities with the kids and whatever other jobs they give me, like cleaning, etc. I am so excited to start working there! I feel a little Mission Year-esque talking about "my service site".
I am also excited about the Social Work program in general. Next year I will be doing my practicum.... 400 hours of service at an agency. The profs are nice and very knowledgable... Basically, I am excited. And challenged. And scared.
Also, this week I am going to the first rugby practice and info session! Yes, I am a little nervous. However the president of the club assured me that most of the rugby players have never played before, so I should fit right in... Maybe I will get a black eye! That would be interesting.
