7/9/2012

First day back! Somehow today seemed at least 4x longer than yesterday. I headed into my first practical of the semester. We fitted gait aids and demonstrates how to use them. I had the privilege of getting up in front of the class and explaining crutches while everyone critiqued my instructions.
Next we had a lecture on ultra sound and then a lecture on manipulations. I feel like things are moving a bit quickly here. After lecture we went to lunch at a Thai restaurant. It was quite good. Although we were probably the worst patrons ever as we ordered drinks and then ate the lunches that we had brought with us.
Next we went into the city to have our practical manuals printed and bound. This ended up being quite the drama as we accidentally gave them two of one file. Now we have six extra copies of the cardio manual but are still missing the neuro one.
While I was waiting for the manuals to be printed(before I knew about the mistake) I did a stair workout in preparation for the 80 story stair climb. I walked up and down the tallest open building on campus(9 stories) 9 times. You might think that walking stairs is easy but I beg to differ. It was enough work to give me a cardio workout.
I studied a bit before picking up the manuals and heading home. I found myself in bed by 7:30. Yikes! I read a chapter of my book but I'm really ready for bed now and it's 8:10pm. I would complain but on the bright side the jet lag makes 6am look much better than it otherwise would.
