Crossing the Finish Line

Classes

Well, it’s already finals week and I’ve almost completed another semester of grad school! I cannot believe how quickly the time has passed, particularly this semester. My schedule was especially packed as I took on part-time work this school year. It has felt very good to finish up one class after another, starting last Friday when I presented a community program that I had created with a group. That project was the culmination of an entire semester’s work in my community programming course, and we presented our poster along with all of our classmates in an inspiring display of creativity and hard work. I felt proud to explain my program to other students and faculty that attended the presentation. Today, I turned in a lengthy case study paper for my Health Promotion and Wellness course. I also took a final exam for my Adult Physical Rehabilitation and Geriatrics immersion course. In addition to the written exam, we will have a lab practicum tomorrow morning where we will execute an actual occupational therapy session based on a case study. What am I going to do in a mere 18 hours when all of this hard work is complete? I’m going to Disneyland! I am looking forward to celebrating the end of the year with Mickey and relaxing at last.
