Hello all... I have not updated in a while so here I am to update you on my life since last time. I am officially a SECOND YEAR OT STUDENT!! I did it passed the hardest year so hopefully from here on out I won't have to worry about grades. My new goal for grades is to get B's and A's, no more C's for me! The hard sciences are out done, now it's more therapy and interventions.
I just finished a 10 day break and am now back in summer classes for four weeks then another week break then we get to do four weeks of clinicals then a month break! I am doing my clinicals at Central States Orthopedic, it is an outpatient facility. It will be interesting because I am not sure what OT's do in this area but that's one of the reasons why I chose it. My two summer classes are Movement Science I and Contexts for occupational performance. I am glad because in the contexts class we don't have any exams, we have three large group projects. The cool thing about this class and the projects is we get to go into homes and public places to assess and recommend changes and modifications the facility/homeowner could do to allow better access. Movement not so sure but I only have one exam and two projects. I am fairly confident in my abilities to make B's in both classes.
During my break Howard and I went up to St. Louis for a friends wedding. The picture above was at the top of the arch! We had a great time in St.Louis. We also toured the Budweiser plant, it was really neat and actually smelled really good. We also went to a Cardinals game, they lost but it was still fun! I then came back to Tulsa for a few days, spent time with Lindsey, Jackson and my roomies. I finished the break in Fort Smith and at the farm, which is always fun. Oh yeah, can't forget that I caught 6 fish!!
That is my news for now, I will try to be better at updating my blog. Much love,
Emily
