My body didn't feel like sleeping when I wanted to last night. I went to bed and couldn't fall asleep, then I kept waking up with images of muscles. I finally fell asleep right as my alarm went off. I decided that being well rested was going to be more beneficial than an extra hour of studying so I slept in till 8. My ride in was peaceful I thought about all the muscles an bones in my upper extremities. Half of my class decided that studying was more important than class so they didn't come in today. Our second lecture was spinal imaging. It is a good topic but a horrible lecturer. Only 20% of our class stayed for it. Those of us who were there didn't really pay attention but studied for the test tomorrow. We were told that there are no imaging questions on the exam tomorrow so my classmates have decided not to learn even the most basic material that the guest lecturer is presenting. When she asked a question in the middle of the lecture about MRI differentiation I impressed everyone, including her, by giving an extended and detailed answer. We all studied during lunch. I feel confident in my knowledge. We had a practical on nerve lesions and sensation in the arm/hand. I still felt on my game. After that I rode to football practice, did a hill workout, and stretched some legs. I kept going over material and testing the other trainer the entire practice. Just as I was about to head home a thunder storm began. This is a problem because I have my computer and phone in my bag. Luckily I also had my pouch rain coat from the children's place. I would be embarrassed but it's fantastic. I put my coat on my bag and biked home as fast as I could. The rain dumped down in buckets the entire 10k home but the coat held up. I don't think anything got through. Katie made me an interesting dinner. A microwaved sweat potatoes with a yogurt, celery, peach, and cucumber salad. I liked all of the elements but not really together. I'm off to study more and then pack. Which brings me to my weekend plans.... I'm going away for football camp this weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to blog but definitely no Skype:( I'll catch you next week. Plenty of pictures, videos, and excitement. All good things to make up for my boring week of studying.
