Today I started work as my first day as a physical therapist - what a great feeling to be able to say that. It was great too that I didn't have to go in until 9:30 - a nice ease into work. I don't know if it is good luck or bad luck to have my employment anniversary on groundhogs day. I hope that doesn't mean I have to relive today over and over. Ha- not that it was bad in any way, just lots of paperwork. Also it sucked because I can't treat patients until I get my TB test read on Wednesday. So tomorrow I go to the Fairlawn clinic to meet my mentor and do some shadowing and learn paperwork and such. Anyways - on the other hand - everyone was very nice and excited to meet me and have me which was nice. Our friend Daniel works there and he was gracious to teach me as much as possible and I gobbled it all up. It's silly to think that just because I've been studying like crazy and been in school that I know it all about that facility -- so there's definitely a lot left to learn.
In other news - go steelers ! what a fun superbowl and it was fun to be with friends and family and neighbors for quite a comeback game. It made me miss Pittsburgh - although it is probably quite obnoxious there today. Although I think that I must have been bad luck for the team because they won the superbowl the year before I moved there and the year after I left! I'm sure they're glad to lose me. Don't get me wrong - if the Browns play the Steelers I'm for the brownies every time. I just like to see a good team win and there's really no way you could live in Pittsburgh and not catch on to the contagious energy that is the steelers.
Although it will be a while before my first paycheck it is such a relief to know that although I didn't do much today, at least I made some money and I will soon be able to put to work everything I've worked for for so long!! Does anyone know if the groundhog saw his shadow?
