it suddenly becomes more real...

I finally got a packet of information from the DOC regarding my training. Three weeks in Madison, a week in office, two weeks back up in Madison, the week of Thanksgiving back in office, Then two weeks back in Madison. I'll be staying at the econo lodge in a single room (have to pay the difference of a double-only $64/week). Business casual dress, so I probably should go shopping and invest in at least one more pair of dockers and some non-tee shirt/non-sweatshirt type tops that are fall weight vs. heavy sweaters.

Within about two weeks, my life is going to become exponentially more intense than it is now. It's kinda overwhelming, and I'm starting to get really nervous. I know I'll do just fine, but it's such a huge life change for me. I've spent the last four years as a student/housewife/slacker.
To go from that to training for an entry level professional social worker is a bit daunting, to say the least...
