Hail, hail the gangs all here-
Being part of a community with no consequences has caused me to ignore it outright. Especially with more pressing concerns such as grad school.
-Myspace-
Everyone and their freakin' dog that I haven't seen in over 4 years or more is on myspace. I have to say that it is really weird not seeing these people and then suddenly having an immediate conversation with them. I'm not entirely sure what to say either- "So, uh, yeah I haven't seen you in 4-6 years whats up?"
I guess I could take a more positive approach to this too: "HOLY SHIT- I haven't seen you in years? Are we anything like we once were? How different are you now than you were then? How different am I than you remember me as?" etc. I suppose that I was hoping to save all of that weirdness for one sudden moment at a 10-year reunion. Now that, that will be a trip.
-School-
As part of the ciriculum at Regis we team up with a faculty member and do some research. Initially there is a lot of hope and excitement at the possibility at discovery and (even more exciting) being PUBLISHED! Due to several miscommunication issues the paper we initially wrote was merely a part of the proposal that we were supposed to be working on. Essentially we had a very nice and thorough literature review of our subject, which gives us a much more complete understanding so I thought of this as a positive.
Friday we sat down and pounded out the actual proposal for the research article. I'm proud of it- hopefully our faculty liason likes it too!
Two weeks till finals.
-Hoofs'n'Paws-
I've been volunteering every weekend at a therapeutic horse-vaulting (not riding) clinic since I restarted at Regis. I'm not entirely sure how well I work with kids but I've been told that I am patient and the kids like me- that sort of positive feedback does make me smile (warm fuzzies as the saying goes).
-Break time-
Sunday after finals week I meet Becky at the airport and then we'll fly to Sacramento. I've been missing her so much lately but we'll finally get to see each other soon! After about a week in Sacramento (at Becky's parent's place) we'll head out to DC. I'll spend about 2 weeks with her there. It is funny because I basically play house husband because she has work and I have, well, nothing. I WILL be spending a good deal of time trying to set up a clinical sites in the DC area though. When I'm on my third and fourth clinical rotations I'll be able to potentially live with Becky.
-Clinical-
Clinicals are like physician's residencies but dispersed between semesters for PT students. My first one will be in Wray Colorado on the border of Kansas and Nebraska. This will be my rural rotation- and though I am something of a city kid I am sure I will like it very much out there. I've heard a great deal of good things about it. I'm still petrified of the idea of being in an actual clinical setting though!
-ID-
Andrew and I have been working on project ID for some time. Andrew even got it to be part of a class! I really feel bad about not helping out more often- but what can I do? Right now isn't the time for drastic action but the up coming break might see a revitilization of my contributions to the project. MWA HA HA HA! ID SHALL BE BROUGHT FORTH INTO THIS WORLD! (so help me...)
