soooo my life is lame

i honestly had to ponder for a while what i was going to write today. i will say this... i feel like in the picture on my title screen i should at least be at the pole down there by now. i mean its like im standing still!

although time is creeping by this past week, i am one week closer to being half way done with my rotations.

my clinic has actually been pretty fun. we get a huge variety of diagnoses and each patient presents with their own quirks that make them exciting or weird to spend time with.

1. i have a young patient who is a soccer fan believe it or not, so therapy has revolved around dribbling a ball around cones, passing, kicking and discussing soccer. he is also a manchester united fan and i'm a chelsea fan so he likes to make fun of me. i let him because i have to... after all i don't think my CI would appreciate me arguing with a patient. 
2. i have another gentleman who is really goofy. he likes to giggle all the time. he wears a lot of silly t-shirts: one that has McLovin's driver's licence on it and my favorite one that says-- 'have you seen my zombie?' and then you flip the shirt over your head and its a zombie face. its pretty neat.
3. i have an ADORABLE elderly patient who is honestly the sweetest woman ever. she is always cold and wears a pink crocheted shawl to therapy every day. when we walk she hums music and when i ask her what song she is humming she says 'ooooo i don't know'
4. i have another older woman with stroke who is sooooo tired and sleeps through therapy :) she also sneezed on me today during the 2 minutes she was awake haha. but shes awesome

5. my last patient is an amputee patient. shes super chatty but it will help the time pass. plus, its cool to see something different!

laura and i have hung out a couple of times this week... well pretty much everyday. monday we went to the coffee shop. i studied my new boards review book while laura did some schoolwork. tuesday we played indoor soccer. it was a blast. i scored and also had to stop and catch my breath numerous times. wednesday night we went out to dinner, to the advent service at church, then went back to my place to watch survivor and modern family. tonight we are at the coffee shop again together listening to live music. 

im excited to have a weekend with nothing planned. i am exhausted.
