Summer school is in full swing and I cannot wait for it to stop all this swinging. I am ready for some fun in the sun (oh what a cliché) However, I am doing fairly well in this class which makes me happy. At least all the work I am dedicated to this is paying off, at least so far. I have 2 more tests and a lab report to go and then freedom.
Another exciting bit of information is that I am deciding to alter my major path. Instead of going with physical therapy I am going to do PA. I am not exactly sure what I want to do in the field of becoming a PA but I know I want to do this more than PT so I am excited about that. I have already met with one PA (ironically the one who was with me during my surgery in June) and she made it sound amazing. Tomorrow I am meeting with this lady Janet who apparently has a list of PA's in the area and can set me up with some shadowing opportunities. I also decided from this that I will be taking a 5th year. I am actually pretty excited about this because it will allow me to be a normal student for a semester and enjoy college. Also it allows me to spread out my classes a little and obtain the much need hours to get into graduate school. I am planning on getting a job somewhere in the hospital so I can get paid and count the hours I am experiencing towards the hours I need. Matt is also planning on taking a 5th year which is nice for us and makes me happy. He is switching his major over to biomedical engineering. He told me that once he graduates, he would move to wherever I go to graduate school. :) I like that. Overall, this entire situation makes me happy because I get one extra year to relax and actually live like a college student before I am neck deep in graduate school.
My foot is so far SLOWLY getting better. It is just so damn stiff that I am having a hard time noticing the progress. It makes me a little worried that it's taking so long but I have to remember that this was the most intense surgery I have ever had. My main concern is the fact that pushing off of it, in a running like manner, is the most painful and difficult thing to do. And unfortunately, it is the most necessary. I guess we shall see. I started basic running yesterday across the floor (so 40ft) but it was pretty pathetic because I was definitely cheating. And when I say cheating I mean I allow my foot to roll to the side to avoid completely stretching it out.
My mom and Jessa's mom came up this past weekend and it was a lot of fun. We went mega shopping which I obviously enjoyed. I got a lot of sophisticated clothing for all of my upcoming shadowing and whatnot. I more and more enjoy spending time with my parents because I don't see them as often as I used to and I realize how good of people they are and good parents. But overall it was a fun visit, my mom was fun to be around and we all went out to dinner at night to this new restaurant in downtown IC.
Speaking of thinking about how I don't see my parents are much as I am used to really gets me thinking about a lot of things. I guess I have been thinking about this stuff for a while but it really freaks me out. The idea of never knowing what is going to happen scares me shitless. Also the idea of my family and friends perhaps never knowing how much I love and cherish them also makes me sad but I don't know how to adequately express my feelings without feeling weird. I want to spend my time with the people that I love the most but it's hard sometimes when school and freaking gymnastics clogging up all of my time. I just can't imagine my life without certain people and I get sad. I know, I know, why am I thinking like this... I just can't help it. I want to experience so many things and while I am experiencing these things I want people to be around to either join me or listen to my stories because as much fun as it is to experience things with people it is almost equally as fun retelling the stories.
Well enough with this melodramatic-ness. Besides all of these things nothing to extra ordinary has happened recently. Maybe the fact that I actually went out 2 times last weekend is worth mentioning because it hasn't happened since I was born... well maybe since the beginning of summer but still. It was quite the long while. But besides that I have nothing more to say. Until next time I suppose.
