I'm done with my first full year of PT school and am definitely relieved that this past year is done. It's amazing how much information professors can throw at you in a short amount of time and also amazing that I feel like I've actually retained most of it. I've had classes that I've loved and classes that I've hated but overall I'm very happy with the field that I'm in.
I'm moving up to Casper, Wyoming tomorrow for my first clinical experience at Wyoming Medical Center. It's going to be an awesome learning experience and I'm very excited to not be in a classroom for those 6 weeks. I was told that I'll get to sit in on a couple surgeries (both spinal and orthopedic) which should be very exciting and interesting. I've spent hundreds of hours in clinics but this is the first time as a student and with that title comes a lot more opportunities!
I love living in Colorado and though I haven't spent as much time in the great outdoors as I would like, I've been able to go on a few hikes this summer and spend some time in the mountains camping. After summer semester finished, I packed my car and drove into the mountains and spent 2 nights away from people. It was a great time to recharge and read. All I can say is that God's creativity cannot be matched.
I'll just let this short post suffice for now. I'll try to be better at updating this with pictures of trips and lessons that I'm learning. Thank you all for being a part of my life!
