Warning: this is another complaining post. My bitterness might spread.

The next two weeks are going to be ______.... yea. You hear me.
I don't want to list all the things cuz it will only make me stressed.


'Real physio' (MSK) sucks! I think after I get my licence, I'll just go into cardioresp and never do this stuff again. This unit is ridiculously disorganized. I don't know what I was complaining about last semester. And all the prof talks about is how we already know this stuff and we're just not giving ourselves enough credit. So as a result, she doesn't bother going over anything. Ugh, No! This is NOT Mac, there should be no PBL...this is UofT. Where's the spoonfeeding!?! Humility was never a forte of mine. So if I say "i have no idea", I actually mean it. Just a bit frustrating. My small grp fascilitator who graduated 2 yrs ago and is now a physio at St.Mikes said that every class feels this way at this unit but you WILL know everything. It's a bit comforting to know that it's not us that's a bit on the slow side... but so hard to believe right now. Hopefully I'll look back at this post in 2 years and have a good laugh..haha. Yea right.

So I'm going on my first clinical placement in 2 weeks. I'm on an acute inpatient orthopaedics floor. I'm not sure what kind of patient population I'll be with but sounds pretty impressive eh? heh.. hopefully lots of total hip, total knee and Hip OA cuz that's the only thing I've know so far..haha

Thank God for friends to keep me sane and my lunch hours fun! (Hi, Tip!)



A friend recently reminded me of what got him through the program. Remembering what a blessing it is to be in the program and being aware of areas that God can be glorified while we're here. I'm thankful to be here. It's just frustrating cuz they can be doing so much better. But I definitly AM thankful to be where I am.

Christmas Break

I bought my very first digital camera and I haven't gotten use to the idea of taking pictures of every little thing and being a camera whore. But I'm slowly learning.

This is a picture of the break: Random fun.


This is a picture of what's to come from January to August. Hopefully it won't be so bad. I'm just a drama queen.
