This week marks the beginning of my last semester of classes ever! Words can not explain how much excitement this brings me. I am beyond ready to be done with school. However, some of the things to look forward to in the nearer future are:
Grant Writing/Program Development Class - I'm thinking about trying to write a grant to create an art therapy room at a live in facility for children who are wards of the state of West Virginia. More to come on that...
Fieldwork Level I - I'm assigned to the Southern Ohio Medical Center's medical surgery, inpatient occupational therapy department. This will take place every Tuesday of the semester starting in February. Hopefully that will give me some interesting material to write about.
Research Defense - My research team successfully completed our 12-week aquatic therapy study, and will be writing up our results and defending our thesis by the end of the semester. That's approximately 6 months earlier than required!
Class Trip - We aren't sure where we are going yet, but several of us will be taking a trip to celebrate the end of our last semester. Woooooohooooo!!!!
Still no word on Fieldwork Level II. I requested to be assigned to The Institute of Rehabilitation and Research in Houston, TX and a school or residential adult home in Nashville, TN. As soon as my locations are confirmed, I will be posting to let everyone know where I'm headed in May.
