I had the day off from class today so I spent 8 hours at uni.  I was going to be there even longer but I ran into some technical difficulties this morning.  I got on my bike and was about to leave when it started pouring down rain, so I parked my bike and went back inside to water proof my computer and get a rain coat.  I hopped on my bike again to find that I had a flat tire. By the time I had fixed my tire I had missed the Tuesday morning aerobics class so I decided to eat breakfast before going in.  After sweet potato hash browns I finally left the house.  On my way I saw the most vivid rainbow right across the most miserable intersection of my ride.

I got to the university in time to meet up with my classmates and practice hands on skills with 3 different people.  We went over the hand, hip, knee, ankle, back, and neck.  I need to practice these skills but sometimes I feel like it's a way to procrastinate from studying the other stuff.  After 4 hours of practicing Kat and I headed to a cafe to work on our theory questions.  They are hard.  If you remember, I put up the shoulder question a few months ago.  We now have 9 more questions all equally as difficult.  Kat and I worked on formulating answers for the next 4 hours.  For your viewing pleasure here is the elbow question.

Q 2. For a push up 

Analyse the action of the elbow joint and the muscles controlling the joint during the action of a) a push up and b) return to the starting position 

Include in your answer the 

accessory movements of the elbow joint 

forces responsible for the movement 

muscle action occurring throughout the movements 

At 5 Kat had to meet with her research group so I headed home.  A quick run, a bit more studying and that was my day.  I'll put my answer to the question up tomorrow so you can see how you went (Australian for how correct was your answer)
