always third

So we are coming to the end of our second week of our second year of PT school and let me tell you, I need the break. Classes are what i expected, tough but enjoyable. CardioPulmonary, basically it is what the name implies everything to do with the heart and lungs. I really enjoy this class, it will be one of our harder classes but I actually like it. Very interesting stuff. Then orthopedics is brutal. Having it ONE day from 8-5 is a killer. But each week we cover about 5 chapters or 200 pages of reading so it takes up some time. Then neuro.. its fun we do all the tests and evals. So basically testing the cranial nerves (eye movement, balance, ect ect.) Lots of lab time doing random exercises and balance things. Makes you look at life and the ability to do seemingly normal tasks in a whole new light. You dont realize how much is involved in the simple task of going from sitting to standing until you have taken the time to analyze every single action involved.

Well thats all I got for now!

Tonya and I went to Cocoa Beach, Fl to visit her uncle and his wife last weekend. Let me just tell you wow! They live about 5 minutes from Cape Canaveral (space shuttle launches), and are about 5 minutes walking from the beach. They live on a canal and have their own boat dock right out their backdoor, how sweet is that? I am ready to retire!

Here are our pictures from the trip. Just click on the picture to see the album.

Anyways, classes start Monday yikes!!! Cardiopulmonary, NeuroPT 1, Orthopedics, Research III, and Principles of Ed. It shall be a busy semester.  But the good thing is we only go Mon, Wed, and Fri. Jackpot!

Look at the size of those 2 books on the ends. MASSIVE! They easily weigh over 15lbs

So yeah that is what’s new.  Oh yeah, Tonya got into nursing school!! We are both psyched! Minus the part of her moving back to AZ next month, blah.

Ok, well…. The garden. My two store bought tomato plants are going strong. They both have yellow sprouts so tomatoes should be coming in near future. I somehow still have a single cucumber vine growing so that’s nice as well as my jalapeños. Who needs anything else??

School is going ok. Not too bad, but I am glad we only have 4 more weeks. I know I just had a mini break, but I need another one, this time out of Nashville.

I thought I would share a nice xray photo of a woman with breast implants. Sorta interesting

looks like i just ate a small child. but fear not!

quick little mini update since its been almost a month! Went to Kendall and Curtis’s wedding last weekend. It was nice and added bonus… open bar! Now just back to the grind for another 3 weeks then school is out for a month! jackpot!

Been back in school for almost a week. Well basically we had 1 class on Thursday and then nothing on Monday and now today we only had one class, why waste our time? It was 22 degrees outside today and I DID NOT want to go outside.

Bah! Anyways I really am starting to appreciate the little things in life, such as a day in the mid to high 40s vs a day in the low 20s. Yes they are both significantly lower than the average low for Phoenix but there definitely is a big difference in it. BIG DIFFERENCE INDEED!

I found one of the greatest online fitness tools ever! Gyminee is amazing! It lets you track your food intake and breaks it down into carbs, protein, and fat. Then it has the fitness section and lets you track your workouts. The best part though is its social networking. It gives you the ability to find people who share similar goals be it weight loss or doing 100 push ups and it lets you share your experiences.  All in all a very cool web 2.0 site.
