my third week of PA school is over. it was an eventful week, see below :)
one of my new favorite blog sites is Oh Happy Day! The writer, Jordan, is giving away a 7 day trip to Paris, and I have registered in all 4 ways!! Im sure most of you know, but i have an unhealthy obsession with that romantic city and I was able to take it all in for my 22nd birthday but without my sister! I would love it so much to win the trip and be able to explore the magnificent city with Claire! The winner is announced 6/20/11, so I will keep you updated :) If you would like to lessen my chances of winning, enter to win yourself, or take me along if you win, click here to register!!
S-leepin in, I did on monday-yay-we were off for memorial day but i spent it studying from 3-11pm at the DCOM with alisha. we spread out in the classroom. see pic
A-rrival of package for me!! i got an email from the lady in charge of my housing that I had mail.. I LOVE MAIL... hint hint ;)
R-eady to get this anatomy test over with! Thursday at 2pm I will take a LONG nap :)
T-rial run.. with my first anatomy test on Thursday, we had a practice exam on Tuesday. It was my first practice test as a PA-S and alot easier than I expected, which was a super confidence booster.
O-our apt seemed so far away. One night after late night studying at Paige's house, Alisha and I got lost getting back to campus. Not only did our cell phones have no service, I had been on E for a while. I almost had a mini breakdown because I was scared we would get abducted or run out of gas in the completely UNLIT back country roads of TN. Finally we got service in our phones long enough to call for help from Paige and find our way back to civilization. Note to self: dont ever go into the country on an empty tank.
R-egistered my exam software-sounds lame but it was fun finally being able to click on an application on my desktop that I had been wondering about for so long. All our exams are through this program which allows for quick and easy grading :)
I-nventing a new dance, some PA friends and I are. Our first test was over the back and lower limb. In this section we learned about Trendelenburg gait and shoulder drop. It reminded us of a swag walk or dance so we joke about it now :) want to learn more about T.gait? click here
O-hhhhiiiiiooooo, Oklahoma, Oregan, Pennsylvania.. Anyone recognize this song? Its the fifty nifty united states song. after one delirious night, I was in Alyson's apartment and the song got brought up. I was wondering if people from different states say their own state in the "Texas is the best of the.." part.. When she mentioned she did, I said that was dumb-remember, I was tired! She followed that statement with literary genius.. "dont hate the state, hate the fifty nifty song" HILARIOUS!! want to learn the states in alpha order?? here you go
U-nloaded the pocketbook to buy my first PANCE review book.. big deal people!
S-uper pumped about the Western Conference Champs mavs shirt my mom is mailing me :) even though they are down 2-1 to Miami, Im still proud and think they can pull it off..
=words dont start with '=' signs.. katie=tired of studying the back/lower limb though
L-ibrary orientation.. so much information given.. i will never forget the funny videos I was shown nor the awesome "instabow" i got from the 'freebee' bag
I-ntense studying.. so far as to assigning cheerleading stunts to remember what muscles do what movements! in the test it was very helpful because I had an association to something more familiar. Examples: scorpian, liberty, heel stretch, spread eagle, correct toetouch. see pic below
B-AMM!!! first 2 anatomy tests are conquered and over with! I exceeded my expectations with an A :) Everyone in class was so exhausted after the test we all felt like it was the weekend. Alisha made a rule for our apt for thursday night "No Higher Level Thinking Tonight" haha
E-xpelling gas, something alyson hoped the skunk digging in the trash outside her door WOULDN'T do. she was freaking out of the little thing, then after it ran away decided to run after it! crazy girl!
R-iiinnngggg, rrrriiiinnngggg. one day in the elevator i heard a loud ringing noise. I soon found out I had accidently hit the 'HELP' button. 911 answered and I had to tell them I had hit the button on accident. OOPS?!
T-rip to Knoxville on Saturday with Kelcye for some shopping therapy and REAL food! ate at The ChopHouse for the first time and it was delicious! The mall in Knoxville was very nice, had every store you could imagine. Even a Francescas! The people in the mall were dressed in the crazies things.
Y-es Mam, gas is cheaper on the other side. As Kelcye and I stop for gas on the way to Knoxville, we stop for gas and accidently pull into a fullservice lane. We didnt even realize those still existed. He wouldnt move away from the door and let Kelcye out, so we had to move to a self service one..
!-excited because I attended a bible study held by one of our TA's who is also a DO student! it was fun to fellowship with Amanda, Brooke, Kelly, Alyson, Christina, and the others who were there! im looking forward to next sunday night.
