so my new job started... now u'd think.. a JOB... money is involved, i must be getting paid so i shouldnt whine ALOT right?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
sadly, its the other way around. i pay tuition at school == and from school im send out to these clinics to work for FREE. so in all technicality, i pay them to work. IM LOOSING MONEY in this ordeal, and im NOT HAPPY about this.
i work 9 hours on M/W/F and 10-11 hours on T/TH all FOR FREE. so not cool. oh man... all the people i get lift and move. yea everyone wants a massage and everyone wants to be stretched. my fingers are dying at the end of the day. i mean giving a deep tissue massage isnt easy on the finger joints... especially when u're doing 10-20 minutes per patient, for 10-15 patients a day... 5 days a week. YIKES.
ok ok im done bitching. besides the annoying part of not getting paid, and fingers and legs and shoulders hurting. its a pretty rewarding job and i can totally see my self working like this for the rest of my life. its awesome to be able to see someone come in with pain off the charts and not even able to raise their arm and when ure done, you see them lifting groceries, their kids/grand kids and what not.. its just nice to see that.
now that thats said and done.. AHHHHHHHHH I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE KEEP TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING. i mean im a talker and i like patients who tell me their stories, makes therapy fun. although, everytime i do something you keep pointing out how im not doing this right.. how I moved from the spot.. and the worse part of all is... she tells me HOW TO TO DO MY JOB. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
most times when a patient tells me oh you missed the spot or it really hurts here i appreciate it cause obviously the patient knows when and where it hurts, its THEIR body after all. but when you tell me that im doing everything wrong its quite annoying. i hate poeple like that... lol reading fake shit on the internet, telling my degree doesnt mean anything. ahhhhhh!!!
talking those patients and trying to convince them that NO, going on a water diet will not reduce ure pain or eating only wheat foods will not help increase motion in ure joint is impossible. and even worse, people who talk your ear off.. i mean tell you everything and anything ... tell you about what time they woke up, how they showered... what they wore and a minute by minute run down of their day... I HATE IT. im not a fucking psychiatrist.. so BACK OFF AND SHUT UP!!
anyways... thats my week. super busy and well ears bleeding from crazy patient talk.

alive and kicking....
hey guys, i know i took a longer than expected break away from blogging. i sure did miss it..
so here's what ive been up to in the past month or so.
1. SCHOOL: OMG.. first of all november 13th was the LAST DAY OF FINALS of my 21 year career in school. phew.. who knew that when i first entered kindergarten and hated it sooo much i'd keep it up for 21 freaking years. phewwwww done and done. i now just have 20 weeks of clinicals or rotations whatever you wanna call it and then completion of school in april and GRADUATION IN MAY!!!... so obviously i was super busy wrapping up school stuff and finishing the unnecessary although mandatory projects, presentations and stupid papers. but IM DONE.. IM DONE ... IM DONE.. IM DONE!!!
i'll post pictures of most of my P.T. class up here. we obviously went out to the bars straight after the final. haha... which i decided to protest and not study for until the morning of (bad pooja.. bad pooja). although for a 3 hour cram session at 4:30 in the am paid off and i got a A in one class and a B+ in the other.
2. FAMILY: hmmm so may be many of u knew.. and some may be not, but my dear sister came to chicago in the midst of my crazy school stuff. its been super fun having her around. i totally miss bugging her and harassing her. you know of all the things i missed from both of us living in different counteries is not the talking or the communication or closeness.. technology is far to advance for that now. I MISS THE BUGGING part, oh my, i love it when i harass her when she's trying to read or sitting peacefully. =) hehehe something about the evil sibling in me, cant leave her alone. alsooooooooooooo, i love cooking and baking with her. i always seem to gain weight when she's here. the best part is mostly spending time .. REAL time with her. love ya sis... hahaha dont worry, i promise i wont let u finish that book of ures. its my mission!!!
then my parents who had left for 3 weeks --- LEFT MY BROTHER AND I ALONE FOR 3 WEEKS... and had gone to india. omg.. it was kinda nice initially to not have them around. you know eat watever you want, sleep whenever, where ever.. if u dont clean up -- WHO CARES? hahaha sadly, it got old. gotta admit... missed the parental units. my dad cause i had to remember to make all my payments, the houses's payments and what not. lol otherwise, we wouldnt have phone, electricity and gas.. bad bad when u live in the windy city of chicago. my mom cause ughhhh I HATE DOING LAUNDRY and believe it or not, i totally missed the indian food. but now that they're back... im all like "leave again.... seriously.. go". hahaha....
3. MY EX: i know i know.. i just left it off as distant friends and all. in the past month that i have disappeared. we've talked... talked and tried to clear all my doubts and reservations about this whole situation. i told you guys, if i dont even try being friends, i would always wonder what if... i hate THAT WHAT IF. that what if, alone will make me Q other relationships. i wish he hadnt said anything, cause then there woulda been NO WHAT IF. but whatever. so all we've been doing is talking all via emails. no personal contact yet... so no worries. im moving nice and slow. i still hate him. i think most of the emails have been me blowing off steam and telling him how horrible he was, and his actions were. so we're not even at the point where i've had a civilized email to him. he on the other hand has been nothing but nice and patient and very tolerant of my harsh harsh words.
so thats kinda whats been up in my life... a quick catch up of my time away. lol i know NOTHING exciting. its hard to have an exciting life, when ure finishing up graduate school. dont wanna do anything crazy and fuck up the 7 years of hard work. hehe... well hopefully you guys enjoy'd this long ass post. i cant quite promise regular posts, cause like i mentioned earlier -> i have my 20 weeks of clinicals starting monday, and my first 10 weeks is in this place i'd like future employment in, so i have to BUST my behind and show them im worth it. but i will never be gone for a month again....
oh yea.. catching up on all ure blogs will take me a LONG TIME.. be patient. i'll try to get thru most, but cant promise if i'll read all the posts made in the last 30 days.
