So I was right about the snow. It's been pounding away for almost 3 days now.. I LOVE IT. I know I'm some kind of freak but... oh well. I love winter. There's just a certain caliber of peace to it that no other season can give. It's incredible.
Last weekend was amazing...having the opportunity to visit the Eastern Washington University and the University of Montana was such a blessing. It's like as soon as I made the decision to do Physical Therapy, everything has fallen into place.
Things were super cramped just traveling to these schools. There was I think 23 of us? and we were all cramped into two 12 passenger vans. It was annoying um...like 90% of the time. Thank goodness for ipods though. and phones! I'm glad I can text. Except there wasn't a lot of service traveling so... yeah.
Anyway, University of Montana is pretty cool. I really like their PT building. Of course, everyone is a hippie there so everything was really laid-back. I really liked how their program was set up though. They are doing research for quadriplegic and paraplegic people where they have them sit in recumbent bikes and they hook electrodes to their legs and then through the computer system, the patients are able to move their legs and have muscle contraction. It's amazing.
I think I liked Eastern Washington University better kinda. The overall atmosphere was a lot more like BYUI. They have a kind of dress code there and things were pretty organized. A couple grad students gave a us a tour of the facilities there and showed us a few labs. One of the labs we walked into was labeled "Anatomy Lab". Okay. I didn't really think anything of it cuz I've been in one before. Well. this was definitely different from the one I had been in. As I was soon about to find out...I walked in and there were ten stainless steel tables--2 rows of 5. Each table had a kind of lid to it that covered the entire table. Each table was about 6 feet long. the lids were like 2 feet high? My reaction was "oh cool! what are these for?" I'm definitely not the brightest crayon in the box... then i realize how cold it is in the room. I take another look at the tables. "OHHHHHHHH...." Yeah. it's a cadaver lab. Never been in one before. But it was definitely veryyyyy cool. Didn't see any bodies though. haha. dang.
Northern Idaho is beautiful by the way. I would live there. Maybe. It was AWESOME cuz I was right in the middle of Korben's soon to be mission field! Yes--Eastern Washington University is in Spokane. Freakin sweet. He's a lucky dude.
I'm so stoked about PT. It's gonna be so amazing.
PS--I saw Uncle Rob's grad picture for Pharmacy School at U of M!!!!! :-D
