It's September and I'm not in class

This is the first September in a long time that I haven't been sitting in a classroom somewhere madly scribbling notes in order to capture all the wise words of a prof. And it feels good! Granted, I'm not fully done school yet but being on placement (THE LAST ONE!) is a heck of a lot better than being in a stuffy classroom.

I've been in Red Deer since last Monday and I can't believe that I'm already into my second week of placement here. I'm doing private practice (orthopedics/MSK) and it's been so much fun already! I'm learning a lot, getting to do a lot (most everything) on my own and stepping outside my comfort zone! My clinical instructor is absolutely wonderful! She is a very refreshing person, very honest to her values and has taught me a lot in the short time I have worked with her. She's a yoga instructor as well so I've definitely been learning some great stretches and she's going to give a personal, one-on-one session next week! In previous placements I've always been fairly apprehensive and nervous from day-to-day but not this time! I love going and I always know it's going to be a great day! PLUS...I've basically been offered a job there already :) I don't want to live in Red Deer but the fact that they would have no problem hiring me is a confidence booster!

In other news, my written national exam is coming up on Sunday. I cannot believe it's so soon...I have some serious studying (okay...cramming) left to do in the next few days! I would appreciate prayer over these next days to come!
