Hello blog world! I am Rachael....your everyday average college senior who is in search of learning more about herself before she enters 'the real world'. Yesterday was my first field placement seminar and we were instructed to use a daily log of our experiences within our internship. (Insert light bulb moment) And I thought, why not keep a log of my experiences within my own life (especially through this very important and transitional year).
And so it begins... I am guilty of beginning projects and not finishing them; however, I pledge allegiance to the blog world that I will not give up! I am hoping that this will be an opportunity for me to release some of my inner thoughts and anxieties about my everyday happenings and help me see them more clearly and objectively.
I currently have a pretty full plate of responsibilities, and I am hoping that this blog will help me be more accountable to each one. Today I begin my field placement in the Aging Services sector of an Area Development District; this in and of itself is causing me much anxiety and an uneasy stomach. I am a senior in college majoring in social work and minoring in gerontology, and while the idea of graduating is the only thing that is keeping me going, it is also one of my biggest (and most secret) fears. I have always been a great student and I am scared that that is it. I am scared that that is all I am good at. (I know not a very good student, ending my sentence in a preposition. shame shame!)
I am also currently planning the happiest day of my life....my wedding! I am so excited and yet so scared. From the time my fiance and I began dating I dreamed of our wedding day (and even secretly began planning about a year ago!), but now that the time is here...I am out of this world stressed! I pray that it all comes together and that it all goes smoothly. I am sure that every bride out there has the same insecurities as me: money; finding the perfect dress (that is affordable); money; catering delimmas; money; finding ways to trick your fiance into wanting to plan; and oh did I say...money?
So there they are...my biggest worries: school, graduating, and wedding planning. Oh, and on top of all that I work two jobs and I am a mentor for an online mentoring program....sheesh...you may need a nap after this stressful, long, and boring post; I apologize. Well then again, I don't. Sorry to be an indian giver of apologies, but I am beginning this blog for myself. I am hoping to use this as 'me time': to write about my days as a fiancee, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a student.
Rachael has a blog!!! :) I love blogs too! Don't worry about your wedding honey, it will go smoothly. Some things might go wrong and it might upset the bride, but it'll be nothing 5 years from now. Like Dr. Phil says, it's not about the wedding, it's about the marriage. And that my dear, will be perfect! Love ya!
