I will trust in HIM
Well, lets see not much has changed since the last time you came to kick it at my spot :) I am just taking it day by day with school, the 2nd year students warned us about the Fall quarters and oh WOW! Even with all of the warning I had no idea what I was in for, I have never worked so hard in school. Given that I have now been in school non-stop for eighteen years of my life, this is really sayin somethin! So, here and now I publicly apologize to all friends, family and especially my sweet fiance :) This has been a tough adjustment and I may lose it here and there haha... As far as my classes, I had the name of one class wrong (WHOOPS!) I am not taking orthopedics this quarter, but instead therapeutic exercise... ortho is next quarter, they all kinda start to blend together. But anyway, I really love therapeutic exercise! A lot of the stuff we are learning in therex I have practiced while working as a PT aide, but I am now learning when and why certain techniques are more effective than others and what effect therex has in the healing process on a molecular level, it is soo awesome! Call me a geek, thats fine :) Pathology is going well, we are starting to get into differential diagnostic tables, which is really neat to start to be able to categorize different signs and symptoms. Neuroscience is not my most fav. We are learning all of the nerve tracts, Lord have mercy!! I have also started my research project. I am on a research team with five other students from my class. It is an incredible opportunity to do research for an exercise company. The company is developing a diet and exercise program for mommys! I will be writing my thesis paper from this research, and our paper(s) will possibly be published. Right now it feels very overwhelming to add one more thing, but I think in retrospect i will be very thankful that I did not let this opportunity pass me by. God is constantly teaching me that through Him I can do ALL things, I trust that He is leading my path and would not give me more than I can handle. So heres to not holding back and giving it all I've got!!
