It's Over In All Its Glory
My semester ended on Wednesday. On a fairly positive note, surprisingly. I ended up getting an 83 on my Kinesiology final, making my overall an 86. Not quite the 96 I had halfway through the semester, but not the disaster it could have been. I wonder how well I would have done if I actually hadn't mixed up the Vastus group. Anywho, the other exams I think went fairly well. Life Span Development is really the only one that I think could put a kink in my bounceback. The only way any of the other classes could is if I unforseeably bomb them. Which of course would never happen because... well... I don't do things like that. Especially when it's crunch time.
I went to see Meghan and Nikole at their Dance Troupe recital. I'm pretty stoked about living with these two ladies next year, not gonna lie. Seeing them doing their thing up on stage made me realize how much I miss it. Thank goodness I'm taking a class next semester. Granted it's at 9a and I haven't danced in 2 1/2 years, but all the pain and struggle that are going to ensue are so going to be worth it.
I got to see all of my STAGE friends in their SOAP shows and tech roles last weekend. I miss that too. Stupid having to work to pay bills/survive. STAGE did a lot of dramas this semester, which was a nice and refreshing change for them. I think it worked out really well. That was by far my favorite SOAP production. Congratulations guys.
Work is going well. There's some drama in the office, but when isn't there? I'm getting to pick up some Holiday hours with Holiday pay, so that will be nice. I have to spend my New Year's Eve at work, but I'm sure it won't be that bad. Certainly not everyone is going to be gone. Just hopefully the people that are around are the ones that I like to see :)
I should be getting some exposure to clinical observations over break. I'm pretty excited about that. I'm going to be observing at a school in a Headstart setting. I can't decide if I want to do geriatrics, gen pop, or peds. This is why I whore myself out to anyone willing to let me observe for a day. My brother was supposed to be getting me a contact at his work who wants me to come and help out with things in their OT department. It wouldn't be a paid position, but talk about some patient contact hours!
So much is up in the air. I'm still waiting on one professor recommendation before my study abroad application can be submitted. I just hope she doesn't forget and then I can't go. She's pretty on top of things, but I like having things taken care of earlier on. That way, if there's any questions or anything I have time to respond/get materials that people need. I can't believe that my dream of going abroad might actually happen. I'm super stoked, but also scared pooless at the same time. I also don't know whether I'm going to stay here and live in my apt. over the summer or go home and work there. (Don't worry, I'll still pay my rent!) I guess it all depends on where I can get my volunteer hours and whatnot. I have a job up here for the summer, I'd just need someone to be able to cover my shifts for a month. Which, shouldn't be hard to do, right?
I think I've rambled on for long enough. Everyone enjoy the Holidays and have a wonderful New Year!
Good things:
-Finals are over
-Alicia is coming home
-Sara Mary is coming home
-Getting to see all the family and friends
-CHRISTMAS COOKIES!!!!
