Spring Semester 2009...down to 16 students from the 22 we started with in September. Who knew the Physical Therapist Assistant program would be so brutal! I feel energized though and ready to roll. I've got 3 classes, one of which is an online course. I get to say big words like Pathology, Therapeutic Exercise, and Data Collections.
Yesterday we found out about a major group research project/paper we will have to do...twice, one in Data and the other in TherEx. What? TWO group research papers? Shoot me now! Combing things I hate, writing academically and academic group work. It is called PICO and escapes me at the moment what it stands for. It required a packet of about 15 pages of supplemental info to describe it. This is how I felt when Jose was done explaining it. I thought I would have to hold on for dear life.
The only other PICO I have heard of is Pico de gallo- the stuff I tell them to leave off of my Mexican food. (not a fan of onions) I wish I could just pick this PICO off with a fork, but no such luck.
Before I freaked out last night and ran screaming from the program, I remembered the bet I won last semester. I didn't cry the first several weeks of school (in fact I made it a month before a tear was shed in lab, and than another couple months to my final practical) and therefore I got treated to ice cream by a boy. I conquered last semester. I survived a practical with Steve. I came through tougher. So what about some stilly PICO? Tiny bump in the road that I intend to squash.
Now I am back on track to being energized and ready to roll! Just look at that face, don't you think so?
