I have a feeling...

that once school starts, this blog is going to change outfits once again. Over the past few years, I've gone on about books, movies, travel (Paris! Isreal!), heartbreak, sad sackness, fun moments, cute nephews, weird things that happen to me on the bus, you name it. Actually, I'm the weird one on the bus who talks to anyone who will listen about how summer in Seattle never really arrived, and now all of a sudden it's fall, and now I'm sitting here wondering what happened. I could also tell you about how I accidentally flushed my contacts, case and all, down the toilet this weekend. Or, about how there was a matchbook perched on the wall outside of Smarty Pants that said "Read Me" so I did. I opened it up and on the left it said, "I am not a racist," and on the right it read, "but you are kalvin clein." Confusing. I closed up the book and placed it back in its spot for the next Read Me victim.

The point is that the blog has had a few themes over time based on my general state of mind and...well, my energy to write. Now, as I get ready to march on to what I think will be my last adventure in higher education (a Ph.D. is not for me), I can see this site quickly shifting focus again to the perky topics of social work. Welfare. Poverty. Justice. SW Practice. It will be a scintillating read that will bring my viewers from 2 to 0 in no time flat. While doing my required quote-unquote "summer reading" (that we were assigned less than two weeks ago. Yes, the program starts in autumn yet...), I realized that I have things to say about these things. But, believe me when I tell you that I've had lots to say about "summer reading" and overnight orientations scheduled over three days right before school starts and things. I'm very excited about the classes, though, and I love my mentor who has dished all the ins and outs of the program with me. She is in the know. And now I'm in the know. And I can't believe that school starts in two weeks. Gaaaaaaah!
