1. It's quiet. The streets of Edmonton are never quiet. Except at this time of morning.
2. I get to see the freshly fallen snow before it is muddied up by all the traffic.
3. I am one of the first to put my footprints in that fresh snow! Today, I think I was the first.
Okay, well, those are the only reasons I can think of right now...but I'm sure there are more. I have to get up at 4:45am because I am getting physio treatment for my wrist early in the morning before classes start. I'm usually at physio for a good hour and a quarter and I go every day. I don't think I need to go to class anymore, I can just learn everything I need to from all my appointments :) First, it was my knee, now it's my wrist/forearm. Basically I'm a walking injury! At least I know I-all by myself- will maintain the demand for physical therapists!!
SO, here I am, well into my second week of second semester, overwhelmed, yet hanging onto those moments of pure pleasure and excitement for what I am learning in the classroom. I can't wait to begin clinical placements in the spring. It will be a good break from studying and be an even better opportunity to start putting into practice all the knowledge that will be bursting from our cranial vaults (yes, I am trying to be corny) at the end of April. All you whom injure yourself...I can't wait to help :)

Oh Jen, I feel like I could LIVE at Physio! What do I do for shin splints? I have medial shin splints, and I have $300 orthotics. They kind of help. I use ice too Man, like you, with me there is ALWAYS something. I can rarely stay on a permanent exercise regime. I had to take 3 months off last time with shin splints, so I am never going to run so much again, thats for sure. What a great profession you are entering! I swear by physio. I had 2 or so months of 7 hours a day, 5 days a week of treatments. It made me so much better after my back injury, that I have never had to spend a day on the floor since. And was able to go snowboaring again, though they said I probably never would be able to. So I say, Yay for physiotherapists!
I see the positives of a 4:45 am start, but phew, not for me! We've had to leave here a few times with Adams dad at 4:30 to get into Brisbane before rush hour, but the sunrise sure is amazing. I do love the quiet too. No cicadas, no crying neighbor or barking dogs.
Hope your wrist gets better soon!
hey crazy! i am sorry, i havent been a bloggin or emailin. wrist injury? what are you doing? is it from carrying all your text books? or carrying your cadaver?
