reviewing to research

i completed my first week of work! some of my housemates had a bad week, some had good, and i would say mine was average.

basically, what i thought i would be doing is not actually what i am doing... not a big deal! turns out i am still working in the social work arena but with a fresh new direction. i will be researching homeless women in the big city in relation to mental health and HIV/AIDS. oddly exciting/interesting! The project is spearheaded by a university and then being researched in three big cities across the country. i and two co-workers will be interviewing women for the next few months- crazy! thankfully i had to take a research class senior year in college for social work and with my social work knowledge, i understand the population as well= so i am not worried at all about jumping into this project! now i just need to build up the stamina to survey!

on another note, i bought my first jersey today... being from a penn state family, i feel oddly traitorous not getting a PSU one, but when you live in pittsburgh you must root for the stealers, dress every week in a jersey, and schedule your life around the games (that last one won't happen).. go stealers!
ps. sorry to my friends and boyfriend who are OSU/Browns fans.. i will always root for PA teams over any OH teams, despite the fact i lived in ohio for four years. lol bring on the competition! :)
