7/12/2012

Incase it wasn't apparent yet, I am definitely back into intense studying. I started the morning with a 3 hour exam. It was a retake from the end of last semester. I had a B+(an H2A in Australian terms) but they gave me a chance to reclaim 2 points and get a top mark(H1). While taking the exam I missed a lecture and a practical. Luckily I was able to retake the practical this afternoon but I completely missed the lecture. The practical was on ultrasound a therapy that is surprisingly widely used despite the fact that there is so little evidence to support it. Even the lose support that I had found in the US is completely refuted in Australia. My favorite conundrum is ultrasound over fractures. Some evidence suggests that it increases healing other evidence suggests that it is detrimental. Both types of studies have questionable findings and have not been successfully duplicated. It was raining when I headed home. I have modified my route so that I have to walk about 2 miles(1 school to train station, 1 train station to home) so that I am more active. I can't wait to get back to riding but the school work is testing my shoulder to the point that I don't want to aggravate it more. I was so bored and annoyed with the train today that I zoned out and missed my stop. Oops. When I finally got home I had a light dinner because my stomach is being uncooperative. After that I started studying. By the time I was ready for bed I had completed 2 out of my 7 objectives for the evening.
Sorry for the boring day I tomorrow I promise pictures and maybe an adventure.
