I'm attempting to make some sort of bean-and-rice... thing. Only problem is I've ended up with about four times as many beans as I thought I would, and I'm not really sure what to do with them all. I've decided that I am going to do a residency after I graduate to become specialized in Orthopedic Physical Therapy. Basically, it's another year of school with very detailed classed about skeletomuscular PT, mixed with working in a clinic. If I get into one of these programs, I'll get paid for my work and I wont be paying tuition. Seems like a good deal right? I certainly think so.
So do I want to spend a year in California (all over the state), Portland Oregon, Scottsdale Arizona, Steamboat Springs Colorado, or Orlando Florida?
Get creative with the beans....make burritos and put them over rice and make a soup or just eat beans. :)
ReplyDeleteSteamboat Springs, CO is BEAUTIFUL...but probably has hideous winters. Portland would be swell, but if you're effected by weather, I would probably stay away from there. If you hate humidity now, you'll hate it more in Orlanda........so I guess that leaves CA. ;)
I agree completely with Jill, I was going to advise DO NOT GO TO FLORIDA. It is horrible. And not just because there are tons of old people, which there wouldn't even be in Orlando. I'm not sure how bad the humidity is in Milwaukee, but I can tell you that you step out of the Orlando airport and you immediately need a shower. Or several. Or you feel like you are in one, and not in a nice way. I hate Florida. In case you didn't catch on. I will (probably) never visit you if you live there. Which would just be sad. There is, however, a veterinary school in Colorado. Eh? :) And I know that you like California, so that is also waay better than ORLANDO.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I thought I would take this time to say that I think it is super-cool that you're going to be even more specialized, and also ask if I have ever mentioned how fucking awesome it is that you want to do what you do. It is such an important job, but I could never, ever do it. Orthopedics, sadly, is the one thing that I absolutely want to avoid as a veterinarian. Which is impossible because dogs tear their ACLs just about as often as people do. But let me tell you a story:
I deal well with surgery, I help with it every day. And the ONLY time I have ever felt faint during a surgery was the first ACL I assisted with. Now I'm fine with them, but the first time I watched them hack away at all the tissue in there with a chisel-thing (don't think badly of the veterinary profession, it was really much more medically legitimate and whatnot than I am describing) and then fucking drill through those bones like it was a piece of wood or something (and the leg was at SUCH an odd angle during this whole process, that was also sickening), oh man, I nearly lost it. I mean, I think it's all really cool now (some of the fracture repairs and stuff that we do are sweet), but for some reason I am just not interested in doing it. At all. Ever. So the point of this whole ramble is just: bravo, it's so cool that you do what you do. I respect it so much.
