direction...?

It's that time of year again. Midterm season. Perfect timing for a nice juicy sweet blog... I have 3 midterms next week, which means I'm going to be super cool and have no life for the next couple of days...unless something fun comes up...no,no..need to study :P University seems to be getting better now that I'm pretty sure I know what I want. I can be so indecisive at the best of times, but I'm pretty much set on a major in Kinesiology with a Bio minor. I feel like such a nerd saying this, but I am actually really excited about a course I'm taking right now. It's called Sports injuries: Prevention and Rehab...and its all about, well what the title says...injury in sport, how to prevent them, and should an injury occur, how to help the athlete get back to how they were. The course is taught by an actual doctor...not just a prof who uses the prefix "doctor" in his name. This guy has his own medical practise and also works for a variety of minor sports teams in the lower mainland as their team physician. Then the TA who teaches us how to examine injuries to determine what they are..and then how to tape up joints (like ankle taping etc.) he's a physiotherapist at UBC and works for their sports teams as well.

The best part is, that by completing this course as well as a CPRC/first aid course you can get a BC sports aid certificate and work as a volunteer for different sporting events and teams...which also gives an inside edge if you want to volunteer for the 2010 olympics...so exciting~!!!

I need to practise my tape jobs...anyone have a sore ankle??

Ewww...kinda gross story...I will shorten it to a nutshell since this is getting kind of long for me..
On my little Community shuttle bus this morning....a guy 2 seats infront of me puked on the ground of the bus. The bus driver had to pull over and clean it up with paper towels and he sent the guy out of the bus to clean himself off with the paper towel. I felt so bad for the busdriver..thats such a nasty job the poor guy. It's days like this that they probably feel they dont get paid near enough for the job they do. I have that feeling at work somtimes. Good old Whalley. Needless to say I just barely got to school in time to hand in my assignment.

I need to sleep now...
