An Interview of sorts....

I  have been struggling on how to write this blog for weeks, every draft I thrown out because they are  boring or lame or both. I don't know what to say...

What I am doing in Dublin?
Working with at risk teens

How long?
six months


When do I leave?
 March 7

With who?
Dublin Christian Mission

Why?
I need to complete a 600 hour practicum to complete my degree, and frankly as much as I love my area of study I didn't love the options available to me in Calgary. However my school knowing that my long term focus is outside of Canada anyways was more than willing to work with me to find a placement that worked for me.

How did I find Dublin Christian Mission?
I made a great friend in school who actually works for them and suggested that it might me a good fit for me to come and finish my degree with them. The rest as they say is history.

How do I feel?
Excited, nervous, scared, challenged.

Am I fundraising?
Yes. If you want to help please contact me for more info

Do I have postcards again?
Hopefully, probably


Will I keep blogging?
Yes

What am I doing until I leave?
Writing my paper, working, writing my paper, seeing friends, writing my paper, spending as much time as humanly possible with my cat, writing my paper, stressing about not finishing my paper...

I hope that's all anyone wanted to know because that's all I could think of, if you have more questions please feel free to comment.

I hope your all having a fantastic weekend.... and I should stop procrastinating and go work on my paper some more...
