I just completed my final Level II fieldwork. It was an amazing experience, and I will miss everyone I worked with. One of the highlights was that I participated in the Resident (aka. patient) and Staff Talent Show. For my very first talent show, I performed a funny skit using assistive devices ("gadgets"). Turns out that I'm good at making people laugh. I was truly amazed by all the positive feedback since I decided to do this at nearly the last minute!

Assistive Devices (from top to bottom): dressing stick, long handled shoe horn, 

long handled reacher, sock aid, long handled bath sponge

Now that I completed all the requirements towards my Master's degree, I'm a bit scared. I'm moving forward. At the end of next month, I will receive my hard-earned degree... and pass the NBCOT exam so I can find the right job for myself.

An Uneventful Day... Or Is It?

Today, my friend and I had an interview with our OT supervisor at the VA center, where we will complete our summer fieldwork. The trip up to the Bronx was easier the second time around (I met the same supervisor once since I expected to work there last summer). The interview went well, and we're both so excited to begin in June! If all goes well, I just may want to apply for a job there (or another VA hospital) because I think I enjoy working with Geriatric patients.

School starts in less than a month for me. Yikes! I really should start cracking the books because I want to ace the course this time and prove that I know this stuff like I know the back of my hand. Anyway, I'm optimistic that things will end well this time. Maybe I'll get to make some true OT friends with this year's graduating class. I know that I already made one because we had a nice lunch after our interview. :)
