professorsearslru — 2024-10-26 01:34:31 UTC

I gave a faculty assembly report in front of the entire graduate college of health sciences. Not my favorite thing to do!

New Babies, Student Successes, and Spiderman!

My job

2024-10-28 04:28:19 UTC

Asking my boss if I could reduce my hours to take care of my mental health and dedicate more hours to school

Mean

2024-10-28 04:39:29 UTC

I hope my fieldwork CI isn't generally mean or overly critical of me for lacking knowledge on a specific topic.

New day=fresh start

2024-10-28 16:00:57 UTC

Not being willing to teach me and share their experiences with me.

2024-10-28 16:01:30 UTC

Good people in the world- many of which are in this program:)

2024-10-28 16:03:36 UTC

Recently shared with my loved ones that I was in a funk last week and needed more mental breaks to help with stress. I made bagels this weekend as my relaxing occupation!

Impatient

wthtcdjkrn — 2024-10-28 16:14:18 UTC

Not having realistic expectations of where I should be as a fieldwork student.

Opportunity

wthtcdjkrn — 2024-10-28 16:16:27 UTC

Embracing failure as a learning opportunity and showing resilience by continuing the pursuit of my goals.

2024-10-29 00:16:55 UTC

Sunrises and sunsets, good coffee, faith, friends and family!

My biggest fear is my CI instructor not sharing enough knowledge for me to feel truly equipped and confident moving forward in my career.

2024-10-29 00:22:17 UTC

I just got off the phone with my older sister and we were both sharing life updates, grateful to hold space for each other.

2024-10-30 22:19:20 UTC

I recently shared a personal experience with someone I don't know very well to connect with them better and share faith.

2024-10-30 22:20:17 UTC

Just that we won't vibe.

2024-10-30 22:21:09 UTC

Putting down a deposit on the place I'll be living during fieldwork!

Asking the company that installed our hot water tank to repair and replace our tank for free because of a negligent install that caused damage to our home.

jwilliams33_5 — 2024-10-31 00:45:37 UTC

That I wont be well supported or paired with someone that doesn't value this as a learning opportunity for me.

jwilliams33_5 — 2024-10-31 00:48:02 UTC

That I will soon be working with clients and making a direct contribution to my community!

My biggest fear is my CI being unwilling to teach me or provide opportunities that will facilitate my learning and make the most out of my level II FW experience. Another fear is my CI being unapproachable for me to ask questions.

2024-10-31 07:18:35 UTC

Knowing that we're half way through OT school and will be starting level II FW!

lcastillo6_21 — 2024-11-05 23:29:01 UTC

I am worried that I might not fit with the setting I'm going to be placed in. I'm worried that I might not keep up with the caseloads...

lcastillo6_21 — 2024-11-05 23:31:39 UTC

NGL, I felt vulnerable during the group activity, but it was a good learning experience.

Rey has been acting through imaginative play, and oftentimes, it's a reflection of how Joe & I treat her. Recently, she had all of her plushies tucked in and she said something like, "There you go, my babies! Now, you'll be warm and cozy!" and then she'd pretend the plushies were fighting and she'd step in between them and say, "Not nice!"

Or she'd lift up their arms when she buckled them into their "car seat" and that's something we'd do with her, too. I'm so glad she's taking all the nurturing things we do and taking that in, because parenting is hard and I think too hard of myself sometimes. This was a nice reminder that we're doing all right and Rey's gonna be all right.
