Exciting? I think not.

Since it's been two months since I blogged, you would think I have an amazing post to post- right? Wrong-o. I actually was going to make an amazing post complete with pictures this weekend, but it turns out that I couldn't load my pictures on to my computer. Troubling though this is...there is something more troubling. My computer also won't read my ipod (and it used to) and doesn't always recognize my printer. It runs as slow as a tortoise with a full stomach and the battery (which is only about 3 month old may I add) dies after about 15 minutes. Hmm....problem. So I set out to blog a fabulous post and began to wonder if I actually might be getting a new computer in the near future. Hmm... I know so many people who can do so many amazing things with computers, but alas, I moved to the east coast- blast and blast again! So, no new cool pictures for my blog.

I have done some awesome things in the last two months though like- visiting Kirtland, OH, Palmyra, NY, New Haven, CT, Gettysburg, PN, and Richmond(ish) VA. I finally got accepted as a volunteer at a local hospital and jumped through all their hoops (including a very long 3 hour training where I learned how to wash my hands, why I should wash my hands, etc. etc. Very useful information, but as we had an entire unit on such things my first semester of school I thought the training might never end), started regularly going to institute class (because they started a class near my house!) and oh yeah, started a new semester of school. I am finally learning what I am going to be doing with real people, real patients. This semester I get to learn how to figure out what people's problems are and how to fix them. Wow! Life is busy.

So, there you go- the exceedingly brief update on my life. Hopefully more to come and sooner rather than later. I hope this lovely blog finds all of you well! :)

Favorite moments in the last little bit of life:

"I don't treat my TBI (traumatic brain injury) patients like three year olds, I think I treat my three yeaer old like he has a brain injury." As said today in my neuro class

"fast like a cheetah"- this is one of my clinical instructors favorite phrases, she says things like "Wow you did that fast like a cheetah" all the time and it makes me laugh!

So there is this super cute family who lives in the area that I have gotten to be friends with. I had the four girls over for a slumber party so we could play and mom and dad could have a break. In the morning my computer was on and the three year old girl looked at the picture on my background which is of Stephanie kissing a sting ray in the ocean (she was on a cruise). All the sudden I hear her pipe up and say "Why is your friend holding a sting ray?" In the most exacerbated voice that a three year old can make. It made me laugh so much- she thought that was just the craziest thing a person could do.
