Hey it's halfway through my last placement of the semester! I'm excited. I did really well today. My patients are warming up to me and find that they like me better than my supervisor who is quite blunt, interrupts, and isn't personable. I had 2 patients roll their eyes at me once my supervisor barged in and then walked away. 

I got my half way feedback today. My greatest weakness is commitment to learning. That is normally one of my greatest strengths. It must be the glazed over look I get every time my supervisor starts talking at me about irrelevant topics. I shall try to be more polite or better at avoiding him. I was still working this afternoon when they kicked me out so that they could close the clinic. So much pointless paperwork!

On my way home from clinic I stopped by the police station and reported the person who hit me. I don't know that I'll get any money toward fixing my bike out of it but I'm tired of dealing with the driver who is being a jerk. I am fixing my bike myself so that the cost has dropped to about $100 but I feel that the driver should be taught to look twice and not throw people off their bikes and into traffic. And that ignoring phone calls, not showing up to meet me and hoping that I go away is not the right way to treat someone who is doing you a favour. 

I didn't make much progress on the projects tonight. I'm hoping I have a burst of productivity tomorrow.
