Today I gave a presentation on the Routine Task Inventory assessment. Tomorrow I will be teaching my classmates how to use it. Its not that interesting, but its part of OT. Can't all be kicks and giggles.
On presentation days I get really nervous. Its so bad sometimes that on the way to school I will wish that I could fall and break my wrist so I wouldn't have to go. Or I look at people in their cars and wish that I was them. But I make it to class. Sit in my seat until it is my turn to present and then go do my thing. It usually turns out well 95% of the time. I am improving and I am proud of myself for that.
I have been looking at friends weddings and engagement pictures lately. It is depressing for a single gal with no prospects. I really thought when I was 16 that I would be a mom by now. It is funny how life does not turn out the way you think it will. I couldn't imagine caring for a baby at this point in my life.
This weekend is orientation for the new students coming in. I have two little sibs, Tucker and Anna. I hope that I can be someone that helps them through the hard road they have ahead. I remember texting my big sib while I was taking anatomy and asking her to say something to stop me from jumping out of the library window. She would make me laugh or give me encouragement. I never thought I would make it this far. I am proud of myself. This is probably one of the hardest things I will ever do in my life.
I want to visit friends very soon. I am running out of funds and will have to pick up shifts at chilis. My friend Ashley is getting married next weekend. I am happy for her. Things are very exciting.
I love everyone who reads this. I hope they know that. Even though I can't see you all the time or disappoint. Know that.
you are awesome! and i'm so impressed with how dedicated you are to your goals :-)
