Honestly I'm not doing the best with studying. I have plenty of study breaks set out which would be great if I was actually studying when I was supposed to be but I'm not. I spend plenty of time researching conditions that I'm interested in and going into way to much detail of very specific problems but actually learning the material for the test is not my strong point at the moment. 

Today I got through 4 of the 6 ethics assignments that I need to do this week. I did more on soft tissue healing, fracture healing and tendonopathy. I can now tell you what happens at every level from patient symptoms to cellular response, including the most recent research.  I really hope that I can use my knowledge on at least 1 question. Finally after dinner I realised that I need to buckle down and study so I got another 4 lectures done before getting distracted again. 

Procrastination today included: eating cheesecake, making nachos, skyping, renting a car, looking up placements for next year, running and figure skating.

It was so good to go skating. I haven't been in so long. I had to rent skates as mine are in Morgantown. The man at the counter sharpened them for me to try and use. It wasn't completely embarrassing.... By the end I could almost waltz jump and do a few revolutions of a two leg spin. The problem was that there were no toe picks(well decretive ones) so initiating a spin or jump was almost impossible. After getting a feel for the skates edge work wasn't too bad. I was flying around the ice doing cross over sequences but the blades couldn't handle power pulls or spirals. I ran to the ice rink which is only 3 miles from my house and saw baby black swans in the creak on my way.
