(no subject)
It's absolutely hilarious how a group of us student OTs sat around skipping out on an assignment we were supposed to do (some of them are just ridiculous; we get it, person, occupation, environment! geez...) wondering just we had gotten ourselves into. We discussed the issues that I thought I was the only one to have - the overlap with other professions, the silly assessments we saw in placement, etc. The cherry topping though, was a conversation I had with my mother after about 12 hours on campus, the bulk of which was because of a group project and presentation that we took an incredibly difficult tangent on.
I came home completely exhausted and my mom asked why I had to stay back so late, so I explained that it was because of the project (implicitly) and how we just realized what we had gotten ourselves into (by choosing a difficult research question), to which she replied, "Yeah well I warned you not to get into physiotherapy!"
... Uh 1) I wasn't talking about the program, 2) She never really warned me about anything, just tried to emotionally blackmail me into getting a degree in MRS as opposed to basically ANY other degree, and 3) I'm not studying physiotherapy!!!
She then asked me what I AM studying, and all I could say was, I have no idea. Hopefully I will get a better idea during my next placement.
Moly long day. I wanted to be in bed by 11 tonight so I could wake up and do a massive amount of work. But as usual, I'm up past 1am and now I will never wake up before noon tomorrow, which means I'm behind schedule, when I was already behind the first couple of schedules I made since the start of November. I can see a breakdown approaching. And this time, I have no Farf to enjoy it with. I still remember all the crazy times we spent together - doing really badly on exams and laughing over it, even though we wanted to rip our own heads off. Somehow it just wasn't such a big deal, at least during the earlier part of it all.
Ugh, I don't care anymore. I'm going shopping tomorrow :/ Stressbuster!!! Except that I have like no money (that isn't supposed to be used towards books and next years tuition). Oh this is not good.
