Whirlwind

I have officially completed 2 1/2 weeks of PT school. It has been a complete, wonderful, overwhelming blur. I absolutely love everything I'm learning and I love my classmates and at the same time I feel completely overwhelmed and don't know which way is up at times. I love all of my professors as they each have their own unique, quirky personality. I haven't decided which professor is my favorite yet, but I definitely like Dr. LeBec's (my Integ professor) teaching style. I feel like I pay the most attention in his class because I have to. We always have discussions and applications of the lecture material so it keeps me focused. I like my classmates although I don't feel like I've made any good friends yet. It's still pretty early, so I'm sure that might change. I'm not a loser or anything though, I don't eat lunch alone, I always have a partner, and I always am able to talk to someone during breaks. I feel like some of my classmates might not particularly like me, but that could just be my paranoia and over analytical self. Yesterday we started cadaver labs. I thought I would be a little more freaked out seeing a person who hasn't been dissected at all yet and I thought I would have a hard time cutting, but I was fine. I guess I'm made of stone haha. I was, however, a little disgusted by the fact that we were on the cadaver with the most adipose tissue so we spent most of the lab period digging through fat and barely identified anything. I've been feeling a little inadequate in foundations lab, but I think it's because I'm surrounded by people who know what they're doing and I'm learning it for the first time. I try to remind myself that it's the first time I'm doing it and that with practice I'll get better. At this point I just feel like I'll never be able to learn everything I need to be a good therapist and I'm going to fail miserably....
