rotations

So, my summer has begun.
begun as in, i am done with the school semester and have started working on my clinical rotations.

so far so good...its only been two days, but its been good! i really like it. its challenging and makes me think, puts me to work, but i like it.
i am getting good experience working with populations outside of athletes, which is a big change.

today i did a IT band foam roller massage for this sweet little hispanic women. by the look on her face throughout the 15 min massage, i didnt think she liked me. these massages are not comfortable for people who dont have any tightness or pathology, let alone someone who does. this massage was about 1/4 the intensity of what i would do to one of my athletes.
she didnt speak english, but i could read her face. she didnt like it. after though, she thank me. and then she thanked me again. i couldn't speak to her, but for some reason her being so grateful towards me after spending 15 mins in pain that i inflicted touched me. i love this part of what i do.

but yeah, so two days down of my four weeks at this clinic. summer is going to go by so fast.
im just glad i get to spend most of it with my guy,...if he would just hurry up and win regionals and get back to ft worth!!

i dont have to be at the clinic super early tomorrow, so if i head to bed now, ill get excess sleep, which is awesome!
goodnight.
