Final Week of Break

It looks like this is going to be a quiet week as there are not too many people around and my visiting family has returned home. We have one more week before the start of the next quarter and I plan on savoring every moment of this peace and quiet. I have been using this time off from school to catch up on the little things that I have been meaning to accomplish.

On another note, I want to thank all my readers for their kind get well wishes. I hope to be back up and running sometime in August. It looks like I chose to break the slowest healing bone in the body! Thanks again and Happy Fourth of July!

Update

It looks like I have some good news and bad news regarding my broken arm. The good news is that I do not need surgery. The bad news is that I have 6 more weeks of immobilization. Having a broken arm while in chiropractic school really puts a damper on taking care of patients. It would be great if we were able to use activator in the clinic. It would make it much easier to take care of my patients.

On another note, I have family visiting. Today we are going to a pool party. I am looking forward to relaxing by the pool and socializing with good friends. Happy Summer Everyone!

Finals Week

It is hard to believe that yet another quarter is coming to an end! Finals week is quickly approaching and this will be the easiest one to date. I only have three finals. Therefore, I will have one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday, and one on Thursday. This is such a nice change from when we started at Sherman and had several final exams. My tests this quarter include clinic lab, automated office procedures, and the business class I am taking. I am definitely looking forward Thursday when my vacation will begin and I have a few weeks off. I plan on spending my days at the pool and just relaxing. Good luck on finals!

MY Broken Arm

I recently broke my arm which is the reason why you haven't seen too many posts from me. In fact, this will probably be a pretty short blog. I didn't realize how awful breaking your arm while in chiropractic school would be. Not only am I behind on my outpatient visits, but I haven't been able to adjust anyone for about one month. All of my friends have been a real help with filling out paperwork and helping me get through with my clinic requirements. Since this quarter is almost over, I am hoping I will be back in commission for my 12th quarter. Next week is finals week and then we have about three weeks off for summer break. I will try to blog again soon but I can't promise anything as typing with one arm stinks!
