Summer session

We only had 3 classes, but man it got tough!!!
1 class was a "busy work" type class. Our grade was based on our final project and paper. My group had to design and teach a 1 hour PE class for a local elementary school. We knocked it out of the park!! We played the pretzel game where you get all tangled up with your group then have to untangle yourselves without letting go of your hands, then we played a variation of paper rock scissors but ours was Trojans, Bruins, & Cowboys (yes I came up with the characters) and you had to act it out and then "capture" the losing characters from the other team. Next came capture the flag, it was fun. Those 4th graders are F'n fast!!!! Then we finished with a tricked up version of red light/green light with a bunch of other colors thrown in. It was fun, but I do NOT want to go into pediatrics :)
Biomechanics was a fun and interesting class, but geez we have to be really good at our craft! It is amazing that having a weak glutieus maximus (butt muscle) can cause knee, ankle, and foot pain! Just one little old weak muscle can mess up your whole leg!
Lastly was Modalities where we learned why we do the stuff we do (ice/heat packs, ultra sound, wound care, etc) The wound care stuff was pretty cool, but there was WAY too much info. It was confusing. The class as a whole was pretty cool but man the teacher wasn't too great at communicating so it made for some hairy moments on the tests! I also really enjoyed the lab where we played with the parrafin wax. I know this will surprise no one when I tell you that I made myself a wax glove of my hand and kept it all class long, slapping people with it, etc. Then I had to put it back in the wax bath :( That's right folks, I'm a man I'm 33!!!

I haven't seen my grades yet, but I think I passed all the summer classes. Keep your fingers crossed just in case!
