A lil update

I know I haven't updated in so long, but there's not much to say. I guess I have to go back a bit in time...

I had a fabulous Christmas, and I was incredibly spoiled. But my favourite part was seeing my family, friends, and playing trains with my family. (Trains is a dominoes game, we weren't playing with toy trains.. haha). It was relaxing and I was pretty anxiety free. I know, amazing. But that ended when I got home. It was hard being out of a routine for 3 weeks. You know that feeling you get when you have company over for an extended period of time and although you feel relaxed when they leave, a loneliness also sinks in?? Well that happened to me, except I was the one who left to go back home. Although it was nice to get back to my man, I found myself being bored, missing the constant commotion (especially dog commotion) and nervous to get back into a new semester at school. But now that I'm back to school..

It's weird only having 3 classes! Sometimes I get anxiety like I should be doing something but then I'm like Oh wait, I barely have classes to worry about! Haha, it'll get stressful in minor situations, but over all it shouldn't be too stressful of a semester.

There was a semi stressful event that occurred today though. We had a community "taskforce" to eliminate poverty come in to our class today, and their area of interest is education. So they wanted to know our experiences as students, and then as social work students, how we could lend opinions in other areas as well. So we got hot and heavy into the issue of loans, housing, etc etc. But loans is the worst part. I mean the interest is actually scarier than the loan itself. Interest is prime + 2%. And prime right now is 18%, just for those of you who didn't know. So We're looking at 20% interest once we graduate, and that is not contingent on finding a decent job. Nope, you could be jobless or working at McDonalds and the interest will begin to pile on once you hit that 6 month mark. Uplifting right?

Well I'm off to watch a frivolous show to pretend that loan interest doesn't exist for now.
