If only I could enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather these days. Instead I go to work, come home, eat, study and sleep. I forgot how poorly I do on the verbal section of standardized tests :/ I have a lot of studying to do and I only have 3 weeks!

On a happy note, I helped two patients today on their exercises (with some help from the other aides, of course)! But it was exciting for me! I wanted to do a little victory dance or even ask the patient if I could take a picture with her but it all sounded so silly so I didn't. The patients were gracious and patience with me as I was figuring out how to organize the different exercise stations and modalities. I was so relieved and my confidence definitely went up from ZERO. Haha just earlier today I was telling the other aides that I'm nervous to help a patient on my own and here I am! I mean, I do have a long way to go of course (especially since I'm replacing Lauren who is just about the most perfect, nicest person you'll ever meet) but I'm making baby steps there! Wahoo!
