Writing Goals and Objectives

Hi friends,

I found the following site helpful in writing my internship goals and objectives (which I wrote five minutes ago because I was too lazy to do anything besides eat and sleep during the last week of school).

It might help clarify the difference between goals and objectives....

One


As we head out for the holidays and then onto practicums and internships, I leave you with a quote from Stephen Hawking:


"Space does not divide us; it unites us."



Peace on Earth

Light Fades on the Fall Semester








In the Rearview Mirror

Whenever I needed a push, you were there
Whenever I needed a laugh, you were there
Whenever I needed a ride off campus, no one was there and I had to walk down the hill just to buy a carton of milk from Hannaford's, freeze my ass off, and risk near death because most of you sped down the hill with reckless abandon and one time I was nearly run over by a crazy bitch driving a red Subaru and I'll never forget the license number
I'll get you someday, Vermont plates CMT-8212
But, I love you all just the same
Thanks for a great semester, my MATs

I'm thankful...

For those who don't know, for me studying at SIT is a dream come true. I had looked for and waited for years to have the opportunity to study abroad. And I'm finally here. I've been here only for three months but I feel like I've been for years. I'm grateful for that. I'm also grateful for: the new things I'm learning, the new friends, the soccer team, the amazing chefs and the food(man, for someone who has eaten rice and beans for most of his life the food on campus is just great!), the trees around Janeway, the diversity on campus, the geography series, the salsa nights, my guitar, and I'm thankful for this blog.

Midnight thought



Time: the stroke of 12 midnight, but I still could not sleep at all, just like every other day I had gone to visit a historical building around Brattleboro. No sound could be heard but the beat of my heart, and the sound of Indonesian song in my computer. Once, I got out from my bedroom just to take a breath of a cold and quiet night in the cute small town of Brattleboro.

My country, my mom, my friends, and all my colleagues flashed through my awakened mind making me recall the past. 3 months have passed : day after day, week after week, and month after month. Will I be able to keep my study on track, while I have nobody to assist me? Of course, everybody is ready and willing to help me but the problem is that I am not someone who make close friends very easily and ask anyone for help.

I scratched my pen on a white paper drawing my feeling, releasing my pain, and hoping that it could heal my lonely heart. Again the shadow of my sweet memory remains waving me to come along. I washed my hands and face to wipe away the dirt from, hoping that It could drive away my lonely state of mind.

I wandered around the bedroom, kitchen, and porch seeking something to be a scapegoat, but I found nothing to blame. The more I concentrated on every angle of the room, the more my memory awakened missing the good times back home. I got back to my bedroom and lay down on my back on the mattress to sleep, yet I could not sleep at all.

The song of sweet memory sung by Dewi Yull was on, and my computer was on all days. Many emails had been received from people on my mailing list. The more emails came, the lazier I got about reading them , as the messages were not interesting at all in my opinion.

I did not realize what I needed anyway!. Probably, I need someone to be my close friend. I got it, but was it really what I wanted?!.
