I meant to start writing in this blog again when I started my practicums. I am now 6 weeks down, with only 2 more weeks to go. Oops.
I can't believe I'm almost done. I would laugh when people used to tell me that time goes faster as you get older. Now I'm standing here wondering what happened to the last two years of my life! So much has happened since that first day in Kelowna: 16 months of school, 16 weeks of practicum (almost) in 3 different cities, 3 different houses/sets of roommates, gained some new friends, lost touch with some old ones, numerous friends have gotten married and/or had babies, I finally found myself a new boyfriend (and I could go on). It amazes me to think of what might happen or where I may be two years from now!
I have a phone interview for a job in Penticton this week. I've never had a phone interview, and it's also my first interview as a new (almost) graduate. Nervous as heck! But it's in the middle of my work day so I won't have time to stress about it (much) prior, which is probably for the best.
I'm loving my last practicum placement. I've done one in long term care, an acute hospital, private practice and now in full on rehabilitation. There is so much for me to learn and take part of. It's super rewarding to help patients work towards maximizing their independence, versus teaching them how to compensate in order to get by. Time here moves quickly and my day is over before I know it. I feel lucky to have gotten the opportunity to go to this facility, and plan on taking away as much as I can!
Graduation in T-minus 24 days. Wow.
