The new place!

After many requests for another video of my apartment, here is the video, just click on the link below. It's HUGE compared the past few videos I've made of my apartments!!!

The Big Move

So I am officially all settled into my new place in Durham, NC. My dad flew into NYC and helped me move down to NC. I'm not sure I could have done it without his help! It was great to have him there and road trip it down from NYC. Dad was here for a week, I was able to show him around NYC, then we had our road trip, then I was able to show him around NC too. I live in a nice area, right across from a mall (which I will be venturing into this weekend), and some large shopping centers that have everything and anything you would ever need. I'm still a little lost and relying on my GPS on my phone to get me places, but I'm sure that will all change soon. My apartment is HUGE, and my dad can confirm that, compared to where I was before, my 1 bedroom is more room than Willy and I need, but it's so nice to have so much space.

I started work yesterday, it was a long day, with orientation and my first day of work it was a long 10 hour day. Today will be my normal day, 1-8. I will update my blog in the next couple days with more details about my job. I will also try and post a video of my apartment before the end of the weekend. As stated in a previous blog, I'm starting a new blog for my new chapter of life. However, this one will not just be writings about my life, it will be a combination or pictures, quotes, anything and everything that I come across that resonates with me. I will not have it set up to email everyone each time I post something, so those who read this regularly might want to bookmark the new site. It is http://chrissi-tempusneminemmanet.blogspot.com/

D-O-N-E!!!!

I am DONE!!! As of last night I am done with graduate school!!! I can't believe two years has passed so quickly. I have learned so much and have grown professionally and personally in the past two years in NYC. It really hasn't sunk in yet that I'm done with school, I'm not sure it will until the fall when I don't have to go back to classes! I guess I am jumping ahead of myself a bit, I still have to wait to get my grades to officially be a Masters in Social Work, but that shouldn't be a problem and I will be getting my grades in the next few weeks.

Now that I'm done w/ school, I am frantically packing my apartment up, because I move in a few short days! I swear I feel like my things keep doubling, every time I pack a box I feel like I turn around and find more and more stuff in my apartment that I still need to pack. This weekend is dedicated to packing up the rest of my stuff and saying my goodbyes to all my amazing friends I've made in the past few years, and goodbye to this wonderful city.

My dad has been gracious enough to take time off work and fly out and road trip down the east coast with me! He comes into town Sunday evening, and very early Tuesday morning we will be getting the moving truck and packing it up with all my contents of my NYC apartment, and driving 10 hours south. In less than a week I will be will no longer be a New Yorker, and will be a North Carolinian! For those of you who want my new address, please email me and I will send it to you, I just don't want to put it here on my public blog!

My tentative start date is May 16th for my new job. I guess this will be one of my last posts here on NYC, NYU, and MSW since I will soon no longer be part of NYU or NYC, and will in a short few weeks have my MSW. I will probably be starting a new blog once I move and will update you all on how to access it once that happens.

Back to packing!

Bye for now <3

Job offer!

For those of you that don't have facebook, I was received a job offer on Friday! It's not the best offer, but at least it's something. They are offering me a part time position working in their Intensive In-Home program. The office is located in Durham and I will be commuting around a neighboring county to work with the families. I'm not exactly sure all the details of my exact part in this program, but I will fill everyone in once I start. Since it is only a part time offer, I am continuing to apply to part time and full time positions to either get a second job or a full time job.

So now that I know I will be in the Raleigh area I am frantically trying to get the rest of the details figured out; ie. rent the Uhaul, find an apartment, rent an apartment, etc. I spent the weekend applying to jobs and figuring out the above mentioned details....I have applied to an apartment complex and am just waiting to hear back from them about the details of the lease. I don't know how everyone used to relocate without the internet, I'm having enough stress w/ the convenience that I can do it all online in an instant. I also set up another interview in Raleigh a few short days after my move, so things are looking good. Hopefully I can get a few more interviews after I move there!

As for now I'm trying to finish all my finals that are due this week and start packing for the big move, which is only a week away!

Bye for now <3

Interviews

So last week I flew down in North Carolina to have interviews. I had 3 interviews, 2 in Greensboro, and 1 in Durham/Raleigh. It was a hectic couple of days, driving back and forth between Greensboro and Raleigh. Big THANKS to Brian and Mere for letting me crash at their place, so I didn't have to pay for a hotel! In between interviews I tried to look at some apartment complexes in both cities to figure out which ones I liked the best. I felt pretty good about all of the interviews, but 2 out of the 3, seemed promising and interested in me. I now and patiently waiting, not very patiently, to hear back from these agencies. I did hear from one today, that I am one of the finalists, and they are proceeding with a background check and calling my references, and the other said in a weeks time they will be making a decision, so any day now I should be hearing from them. I will update you all again once I get an offer, (or two!), and what my final decision is.

Besides interviews, and figuring out the details of the move, I'm also in the mist of finals!! I have 1 week left of internship, and 2 weeks left of school! I can't believe it's been two years already and I'm about to graduate with my Masters in Social Work!!!! eekk! Back to working on these finals...

Bye for now <3

It's Official!!!

So after much contemplation and many discussions with friends and family, It's official...I will be moving to North Carolina after graduation. Although I love NYC, and have had such an amazing experience here the past two years. I can't afford it. It's RIDICULOUSLY expensive, and being an entry level social worker, even with a Masters, I will not be making enough to live in NYC. I recently made the decision, that job offer or not I will be moving, because after many hours of research and job searching, many of the jobs require a NC driver licenses and SW licenses in their state to even consider you for a position. I have applied to many of those, stating that I would be obtaining them as soon as I move, and IF i hear back they usually say contact them once I move or once I move and have those documents. So, I've decided that it is more beneficial to continue my job hunt from the state I am applying in. As of yesterday, I have 2 interviews in NC scheduled for mid April, one in Greensboro, and one in Durham. Just thought, now that I finally made my decision I would let you all know about the next BIG step in my life. :)

Last Spring Break EVER!

It was a bit bitter sweet, to know that I will never get a break from school, work, life and reality like this again. I had a "staycation" for my spring break, like all 6 of my college spring breaks have been. I literally did not leave the house for a few days except to walk Willy, then I went shopping, got a mani/pedi, wandered the city, went to dinner/happy hour with some friends, and wandered Central Park. It was all about focusing on me! And doing whatever I wanted when I wanted. I was ready to get back to work after the week was over, but NOT ready to get back to school. This last stretch is always the hardest part for me, especially since I know this is THE END!

BUT...

Only 6 weeks and counting....until I graduate!!! I can't believe that I have already been in NYC two years. This has been such a wonderful experience, and I have grown so much as a person in the two short years I've lived in NY. NYC has been such a positive part of my life and helped mold the person, and social worker I am today. I think there isn't many other places like NYC to get your MSW, the experience you get in this city isn't like any other, and I'm *hoping* that it will help me in my job search, having the experience of NYU and NYC populations I've worked with. I have been applying to jobs feverishly and there really aren't many jobs out there. :( Unfortunately, although there are those in need of mental health services no matter what the economic climate, maybe even more in the current time, that doesn't matter to those funding the organizations (usually the local or federal government)and mental health funding seemed to be one of the first things cut to help balance budgets. Please everyone keep their fingers crossed that I will find some employment, in some relation to social work, in the near future. I will hopefully be updating you all soon on the good news of interviews and/or job offers! Until then, I guess I should focus on the next 6 weeks, and leaving my academic career with a BANG!

Bye for now <3

NC for the weekend

I had a wonderful trip down to NC last weekend! I went for a long weekend and spent some time in Greensboro with Brian, Mere, Hailee, and Hannah; and some time in Charlotte with a friend from college, who is going to law school there. It was so great to see two more towns in NC. And seeing my nieces was amazing. They are so adorable and since it's been a year since I've seen them last, they have changed so much. The weather was amazing down there this past weekend, and I loved the trees and openness. Both things that are scarce here in the city. I have to admit, it's made me miss suburbia... Here are a few pictures from my trip (Sorry Amanda-somehow we took no pictures)

I also updated my pictures so those of you without facebook and click on this link to see pictures from my trip! https://picasaweb.google.com/cmwright121

Bye for now <3

LAST semester!!!!

I am SO happy that I am in my last semester of school!!! I can say I defiantly have senioritis. I have been going to school, without a break, since I was Kindergarten, or technically pre-school, so I am ready to not have school anymore. Although it's only once a week, and I work the other days, I'm looking forward to coming home after work and not having to think about my readings, papers, and presentations I have to work on that week. Most of my fellow classmates, took a year or several off between undergrad and grad school, some are even coming back as a second career, so many don't share the same desire to hurry up and be done already! My internship is getting more and more demanding, more like how a real job in this field would be, I suppose. I now am running 5-6 groups a week, have 3 individual clients that I see as a case manager, and then 1 client I see for individual therapy, and I'm doing 1 intake (initial assessment) a week, then follow those clients for a month or so until they are admitted. It's exhausting, but everyday is entertaining at the office.

School is going pretty good, I'm a month in...I've started the countdown to graduation! I have 10 more weeks of classes, and 9 more weeks of internship! I'm taking two children classes that are electives, Practice w/ Children, and Maladaptive Behaviors and Life Stressors with Children and I'm really enjoying both of them. One is even interactive, we play games and act like children to try and see things from their perspective, very interesting. My other two classes are required, Practice, and Advanced Policy. So we discuss policies in the one, and how social work and policies intertwine, and then in Practice we talk about what to expect next year, about the licensing exams, jobs, etc. I don't like my practice teacher, but that's ok 3 out of 4 is the best record I have so far, for liking my classes! That's about all going on here...just counting down the weeks until I'm DONE, and trying to figure out what my next step after graduation is.

Back to my homework, 10 hour school day tomorrow. :)

Bye for now <3

Pictures from my last winter break...

I've had a great break, and am sad to see it end....I was just getting used to not having to do homework when I come home from my internship. I start back next week, but on the bright side, only 3.5 months til I graduate!!! :)

Bye for now <3

Winter Break

So my trip California went great. I was home for 2 weeks, and it always feels like there isn't enough hours in the days to visit the people I want to visit, and do all the things that I want to do. But this year I think I did a great job, seeing most of my friends and spending ample time with the family. I even saw a few friends that I haven't seen in year! It was a great visit, and a good Christmas. It was a well needed break after the crazy hard semester I had. I will post some pictures from my trip (for those of you that don't have facebook) later this week.

My graded were just finally posted! And I'm happy to say I passed my research class!!! I was so nervous about that class, but I ended up with a B- in there. Which means I had to get a B+/A- on the final for me to have ended the semester w/ that B-. (I didn't do very well on the midterm) My final grades were an A, 2 A-, and a B-. I am enjoying my time off from school right now. I don't start back for my LAST semester until Jan 26th. I will be taking 2 electives regarding children, and then policies of mental health, and a practice class. This practice class supposedly focuses on life after graduation; so jobs, licensing, trainee hours to get licensed, continuing education, etc. I'm so looking forward to this last semester and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. After 19 years of school, I'm ready for a break! I am currently still at my same internship as last semester, I started back this week there and had to jump right back in. I now currently am running 6 groups a week, have 2 individual clients (will be getting another one in the next few weeks), and doing 1 intake (initial assessment) a week. I'm enjoying my internship, but I do know that this is not what I want to do for the rest of my career. I really enjoy working with these adults who are severely persistently mentally ill, but I enjoyed working with the children last year so much more.

The #1 questions I got from friends and family when I was home, is what am I doing once I graduate? Am I moving back to Cali or staying in NY? I don't know. I do not want to go back to Cali, but I don't know if I can afford to stay here. The simple answer is to find a job. I am planning to apply for job here in NYC, NY state, and many other states around the country. I know a handful of people that could not find a job here in the city, so my goal is to find a job...whoever/wherever will hire me.

I think I've talked enough for tonight.

Bye for now <3

And so it begins....

FINALS!!!!! Yes, somehow midterms just ended and yet finals are due in the next 1-2 weeks! How did this happen? I've started the massive feat of these papers, 3-20 pg papers and a final exam. So far I've written 10 pages in 17 hours, these papers are not as easy as undergrad. Is there a way to put an extra hour or two into each 24 hour day? Can it be 25 or 26 hour days?!? Just for the next few weeks... I foresee Starbucks, Monster, and 5 hour energy drinks being my best friend between now and Dec 16th. I take back my statement I made last year, about people making grad school seem harder than it really is. Last year wasn't too bad, this semester has been brutal, I'm so excited for winter break and not having to look at a textbook or a journal article for a whole month! I am worried about next semester, and I'm desperately hoping that it will not be as bad as this semester. I miss seeing the outside world, besides on my walk to or from school/work or to walk Willy.

I am however SO excited for Christmas, I love the holidays, and I'm planning between finals ending and my trip back home I can get out and see all the decorations here in the city. And I'm looking forward to my trip home to see all my family and friends. Hope everyone else that is experiencing the stress and anxiety of finals gets through it easier than me, and just try and focus on the wonderful break that will start in a few short weeks.

Bye for now <3

Mom and Philly

So my mom came out to visit for a week! We had such a good time! We went shopping, showed her around my neighborhood, went shopping some more, and saw some of the sites around NYC. We also went down to Philly for a couple days. It's on my list of places I've always wanted to go, and since it's only 2 hours away from NY we went! We took the bus down there and did all the touristy stuff. We wandered around old town and saw the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross' House, Independence Hall, and so much more. We had a great time there, and it was nice to be able to both be experiencing Philly for the first time together. When in Philly you must try Philly cheese steaks. So we went to a famous place for them for lunch and then went to a great place for dinner underground where we chose to do wine and cheese tasting for dinner! They are the only place (I think) in the states that has a built in rinser on your table. So when your down with your first wine you can rinse your glass at your table before trying the second wine. It was a really fun dinner! We stayed the night, with a few glitches trying to get to our hotel, and then just shopped and saw the last couple of things we didn't see the day before. It was a great visit and I pretended that I was not in grad school all weekend! Now I'm back to reality and really behind, but it was worth it.

Grams will be here the end of Thanksgiving weekend, and will be taking me to see the Nutcracker! SO excited for that!! I have 1 month left of school, and am going to start writing finals very soon! And then I will only have 1 more semester until I have my Masters in Social Work!!!! SO EXCITED! I can finally start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Here are a couple pic from my mom's visit, the rest are on http://picasaweb.google.com/cmwright121

Halfway to finals....

So the last few weeks I have lost my social life all together. Although, it was a small social life beforehand, but I have spent most of my free time either working on papers and studying for tests or procrastinating from those by going online or watching TV. ;) I have to admit that this semester so far is MUCH harder than last. I figured second year would be harder, only seems logical, but more interesting since it's more concentrated. Well yes and no, the class I got to choose, I am loving and finding it fascinating, but the others are mandatory and just not interesting at all. This year I can't get by skimming or just reading some of the required readings either. One of my classes particular is taking up most of my time, and that is the one that I am learning how to diagnose in. It's quite interesting, but SO hard to remember everything and SO much reading each week. I'm talking 100-150+ pages for that class alone each week! Luckily, I am at the halfway point, and soon enough will be on my last semester of school! I am so excited for May to get here and not have to waste these beautiful weekends inside writing papers and studying for exams.

My internship is going great this year. It's so much different than last year. Not different in a good or bad way, just different. There is a lot more structure and paperwork! SO much paperwork....but I'm enjoying learning about the population I'm working with (severely persistently mentally ill) and getting to know the clients at my agency. I run 5-6 groups a week ranging from healthy living to teaching them about values, and I also was able to do my first intake this last week (initial assessment). I was told that I might start doing more intakes, and that may become my Tuesdays for the rest of the year...I also will shortly be assigned clients to work with individually. All in all, my internship is going great this year and am enjoying all the staff, interns, clients and the work I'm doing so far.

My mom comes to visit in a little over a week, and I am SO excited to see her! She will be here for a week and we have lots of fun things planned, including a trip to Philadelphia! I will post pictures and update my blog after she leaves!

Back to paper writing, 1 left to do.

bye for now <3

Welcome to Midterms

I have now spent the past 5 hours answering 1 of 6 questions for my midterm paper.....psychiatric exam and 5 axial diagnosis is a lot harder than I thought it would be.....the picture doesn't really do it justice, the only free spot on my bed is where I'm sitting. Oh the joys of grad school!! On the bright side, this time next year I will not have any of this to do!! :)

2nd year internship

So I have finished my first week of internship and there isn't that much to report. Obviously because of insurance and privacy regulations/laws I can't share specific details with any of you. I am working at a agency that is a few minutes away from my apartment(which is great because I walk home and eat lunch at home everyday). I am working at a agency with a severely persistent mentally ill population. I will be working with everyone with major depression to schizophrenia or personality disorders. Many of the clients will have multiple diagnoses and many also have a history of substance abuse too. All I did this week is a lot of observing. I met all the staff members and many of the clients. There are many different interns from lots of different schools here in the city, their are psychology inters, drama/art therapists, music therapists, peer mentor interns and of course me the social work intern. I was able to sit in on many groups this week and see how different each person runs the groups. Next Monday I go to orientation, where I will learn all the details about their internal computer system and anything else I wasn't taught this week. Everyone is SO nice, and I partially worried that they are just being super nice since it's my first week. My supervisor seems very nice and eager to help me throughout the year. Everyone is willing to help me or answer any questions I have even if they aren't my supervisor, the good thing is many of the current staff members used to be interns at my agency and where hired on so they at one point were in the same situation as I am now. I was told starting next week I will start running my own groups. I'm a bit nervous to run my own group, but I know once I get through my first one it will be fine. I will be running 1-3 groups a day and then eventually will also get my own clients that I will see individually and have to check up on with other group leaders to see if they are participating in groups. I will be helping them find housing, get a job, get into a school program, whatever their goals are I will help them try and achieve. I will be getting 2 to start and eventually end with 4 or 5 clients at the end of the year.

I think that's enough information for now, I'm really excited to continue on this year and see what happens. I will update later this month/early next when I have actually had my first group and possibly even seen my first client. School is school, I'm looking forward to 2 of my 4 classes, and think I will learn a lot in those two, but I really could do without the other two. I've already started the countdown to Christmas break ;)

Bye for now <3

Last Year

The end of summer has come and now I am faced with another year of school. I am however very excited that I entered my last year of school. This is my second and last year of my grad program, and I can't wait to be done with it. I have been going to school for WAY too many years, and am ready for a break. This year I will be at a different internship than last year, but I do not start that until next week so I will update after my first week at my internship. So far I went to 3 of my 4 classes, I was going to have one Friday morning, but I found a open Tuesday night class. Now I will go to my internship Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and school Tuesday and Wednesday. I am taking Clinical Practice w/ Individuals and Families, Human Behavior in the Social Environment, Research 2, and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention. My first teacher didn't show up so I have no idea how my cognitive class will be, but my research class seems to be a little challenging and my Humab Behavior(HB) teacher overwhelmed me with just the first class. I'm very excited about HB however, because we start to learn how to diagnose and learn all the signs/symptoms to help you diagnose....I feel like I'm starting to finally get into the stuff that is new to me and that I need to learn to help me once I get out.

I am happy to be done w/ summer and back into a routine, but I'm sure soon as the stacks of reading pile up I will wish for it to be summer again. I'm loving the new apartment and the location is fantastic. The best part is my internship and school are both a 5 minute or less walk each from my place! Not much more to talk about, just the fact that I have officially started my last year of school, and am anxiously awaiting my internship to start and am crossing my fingers that I enjoy it and have as good of an experience this year as I did last.

My new apartment!!!

I tried uploading to this video directly to here but it wasn't working so I decided to post it on youtube instead. Here is the link to a video of my new apartment, my room is smaller, but the rest of the place is bigger than my last apartment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mGP_5XHCec

July

July was a very eventful month for me. For those of you on facebook you already know that the family I was babysitting for this summer had the roof of their building catch on fire and the building is now condemned. The crazy part, was I was there babysitting when I got a knock on the door from the cops saying the building was on fire and I needed to evacuate. I immediately grabbed the kid and ran out the door, forgetting his shoes along the way. Needless to say, because of the whole ordeal the mom stopped going to work to stay "home" w/ the kid and try and find them a new place to live. They lived in a few friends apartments for a few weeks and finally just got a sublet for the next 3 months. I however was all of a sudden jobless because of this fire. I have been frantically looking for work all month and applying to everything I could, I think about 250 jobs total. I FINALLY just got another babysitting job yesterday and start next week for a nice family in the Upper West Side. I will be helping the mother who just had her 3rd child last week. I will mainly be working w/ the 1 and 3 year old girls, taking them to different activities in the city while she stays with her newborn. I also have a few family that said they will use me for nights and weekend babysitting once school starts too, when needed.

Being jobless, I had to cancel the trip to DC I had planned this month to visit my friend and wasn't really able to do many fun things in the city. It's been SO hot here that I haven't really wanted to wander around the city as it is. I did however just move. My lease was up at the end of July and the whole month my roommate and I have been frantically looking for a new place. We had a low rent price we were willing to pay and many requirements, so it was very difficult to find what we wanted. But after seeing 15 apartments, all in a 2 day span, we found a really nice place in the West Village. The West Village is one of my favorite, if not my most favorite areas of the city. The best part is I can walk to school, it's only 3 blocks away, AND I can walk to my internship! The neighborhood is amazing and there is so much to do here, and it is just so pretty. I'm sure I will be posting pictures frequently of the neighborhood. The apartment is great and I will post a video of our place once we get all the furniture in and put together. I am now living w/ a girl that I went to high school with. I knew who she was, but I probably only talked to her a few times while in school. She just recently moved to NYC for law school and we decided to live together. We get along great and I'm looking forward to living w/ her for the next year or more.

That's about all that's going on in my life right now, I'm just trying to enjoy the last few weeks of my summer, I can't believe my last long 4 month summer is almost over!

bye for now <3
