Anyone else just start an MA/MS/MSW/MEd program? How are you doing with it so far?

I've started the M.A. program at Wake Forest, and I'm loving it here. Of course, it is a ton of work, but it is a great environment. I enjoy my research assistantship and am generally excited to be here.

Granted, I've obviously been in school for 2 1/2 weeks and do not expect to be this thrilled the entire semester. ;D

Did you start a master's program or just asking about general info?

I am almost halfway done with my MA program, and I am already looking forward to being finished with it. I can't wait until I don't have to go to classes anymore, but that's a way off.

I am also looking forward to my internship, which starts soon. I think that I realize the closer I get the more excited I get to being done.

I just started the MSW program at Salem State College. I am so busy but I'm loving it!

I was curious about other people's experiences, etc...

Just curious how all of your practica/field placements/internships/whateveryourprogramcallsthem are going? You'll do so much learning in the field, it's important to feel like it's a good fit!

I'm enjoying my placement so far. It's all groups (it's a partial program) but it's interesting to see how groups work and it's sort of neat that you can help out 5-10 people at once with therapy and you can give a few minutes to each of them at a time while the rest provide feedback and support to that particular client. I really like the people I work with so far (it's been 2 days) and my supervisor has lofty goals for me. Hopefully all this group work and doing assessments will prepare me for more individual therapy work next year.

If only I didn't have to do all the social work homework 😛 My brain hurts!! I love this stuff but I'm just so exhausted...zzzzz
