Hello once again my bloggy friends! It has been way too long. I finished my first semester of PT school and the good news is that I am going back for another semester! yay!
So you might be asking yourself what I will be doing with my free time. Well I will be reading for fun! I know I am crazy, but I am (was) in the middle of three yes three books before school started so yea going to finish those. I actually finished the 7th Artemis Fowl book the day after school ended it is an easy and fun read that I can just sit and read till my eyes hurt, which is always fun, well in a weird way.
Now I am working on Brisinger (dragon rider series), or however it is spelled, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I am almost done with Two Towers, a.k.a. never ending journey through rocks, then onto Return of the King. So any who that is what I will be doing. I actually can not decide what I should read first Lord of the Rings or Brisinger what do you think??
Anyway, enough with my ramblings about my reading choices, the most exciting thing about this Christmas is my Brother and his Wife are coming into town, YAY!!!!! I can not wait!!!!!
Well anyway I got to get back to one of my books, Let me know which to read first, Lord of the Rings or Brinsinger???? (I think I spelled Brisinger about four different ways, oh well hehe).
Later Dayz and Happy Christmas ;)

Football, Turkey Break and Dancing Hippos
You might be saying well Megan long time no type and I would have to say since I really did not get home on average till after 11 pm last week then well yea something had to go and sorry this was it. But since it is Thanksgiving break I actually get to update my blog!!!
So what have I been up to????
Wellllllllllllllll after getting done with school yesterday I went to see Bond James Bond with some friends, it was pretty good I have to say that I do enjoy a good bond movie. Then today I went to see the craziest football game ever. I mean when one team scores 68 points you would think they would win, but I say NOT if the other team score 93 points, yes that is right ACU scored 93 points and almost 100 which is crazy since the score board only has 2 digits.
Then tonight my mom sent me this link in an email. If you need a good laugh then this is the thing for you! If you do not need a laugh and like big purple hippos then this is the link for you!
Anyway I am rambling while watching Tech lose to OU and I have to say that I am okay with that as long as Texas is ahead of OU in the standings when all is said and done.
So anyway that is my life today and tomorrow I will have to get back to studying some so I will ttyls and hope you all have a grrrrrrrrrreat Turkey day and remember that caffeine can fight the turkey drowsies so you can cheer on Texas when they beat ATM. Well later dayz

What up home fries
So it has been near an eternity since I have blogged and I wanted to take the time to say hey, how's it going, or what up yo' which ever you prefer to my bloggy buddies.
A little update about school : it is hard. You might be thinking "uh Megan, no duh it is hard, it is doctorate of physical therapy school, what did you think it would be like, kindergarten where you take a nap and then give you a diploma?" Then I would reply well, "no, of course not (in a not convincing tone)"
No really, I did not think that at all, but you know I did not think I would have to, you know, choose what to cut out of my day for more study time between sleeping and eating. Seriously, the thought crossed my mind, then my panic stricken self went away and a reality check in the form of a friend reassured me that I would will be fine. But I did start studying for a couple of my finals today, my finals are in five weeks, I never thought I would be one of those people that studied this much, but God does detailed work and there is a lot to learn.
So anyway overall I love school, especially the people. There are some really fun and diverse people in my class and I love to just see how people interact so that makes the days really fun.
Hmmmm what else, oh this past week I took 3 written tests and 3 practicals so a not too bad of a week is ahead I mean what else could they possibly test on right?
I hope all is going well with you guys and I hope to write more often. I will ttyl and I will try to write some more funny things that happen at school or in the interviews, did y'all know people cry in those................. huh weird, later

Top Ten things that PT school teaches you
Okay so besides the obvious................... Oh and if there are weak stomachs sorry, do not read.
10. That "another manic monday" actually has meaning (what did I do this weekend, not nearly enough)
9. You will always be behind in what you are suppose to be doing
8. That random comments make 8 hrs worth of grad school at day go by faster
7. That subcutaneous fat looks like greasy scrabbled eggs
6. I will not eat scrambled eggs until I am done with gross anatomy
5. There are teachers that sound like Charlie Brown's teacher, especially after lunch
4. Caffiene is a gift, but you will soon become less affected by it, which means you need more for the same effect.
3. Lack of sleep and allergies will result in sinus infection
2. You feel guilty when not studying
1. Stress happens!!!!, try to stay away from the chocolate when it does!
Best quote of the day: Tech Guy holding a (fake) Rib, to my Kinesiology Professor:
"here make a women"

Kicking and Screaming
So today is the end of week three of PT school, good news they have not kicked me out and I have not failed out yet ;) Also, I passed my first anatomy test with a solid "B" (wooohooo) and I passed a med terms "test" with flying colors yay me!!! So this week has been pretty good.
This weekend however, will be stressful because I have a dreaded Kinesiology test on Monday. This class is one that you dread going to because you know that you will end up crying during long study sessions that seem to make you feel dumber than help you. Yea that class. What is way worse, is the stories I hear from the 2nd years about the test. And the fact that all the professors laugh when we mention Kinesiology tests in their class is a little troubling. Here are some of the things I have heard this week.
1. You will cry because of this class
2. The mean after the curve is a 68! (from kinesiology professor)
3. You will look at the test and say, "we did not go over this in class"
4. You will look at the test and say. "What is this?"
5. hahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
6. Just remember this verse from Monday
These "helpful" hints are soooooooooooo helpful that my blood pressure rises to about 180/150 mm HG and then smoke comes out of my ears every time people start talking about kinesiology. Now here is my thing about helpful tips. The list above IS NOT HELPFUL!!! (well the verse is) What I really need is instant knowledge about levers, and force vectors, and other stuff that I do not remember. I mean I thought I got rid of physics after undergrad and here is my nemesis all over again!!! Okay well praying for me!
I just thought I was going to get some sleep this weekend , HA! So that is my weekend plans so I hope y'all have a better weekend than that planned!! WAIT I forgot I get my nails done and a message this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!, hmmmm things are looking up! I guess I will see you guys at church.
Hold on Tuesday is coming!!!

Naked Runner Story
So on a previous post that I wrote a couple of days ago I got a comment that I needed to write about the naked runner story told by my professor. So Sarah this is for you.
One of my professors is real big into triathlons and wakes up before time exists and rides his road bike and swims and etc. I know crazy. Well one Sunday morning he was riding his bike here in town and he was in the "speed position" or whatever you call it this whole triathlon thing is way foreign to me, you know with the bars and the head down looking at the pedals. Yea anyway he was riding along when he saw something out of the corner of his eye. So when he was going past this "object" (that happened to be crossing over to his side of the road) he looked up from his speed position and whammo it was a guy running naked. That is right naked. Well actually he was wearing a bandanna around his neck. He also just said that he did not look back after he had past him. LOL oh the things we learn at PT school. Till next time.
This is my version of what he said so I could not remember some of the exact details but the main parts are right so yea, Abilenians be aware if you are out in the wee hours of the morning you never know what you might see!
