Guess what!!!!!!
I half-won a TOTA scholarship! I guess I technically won a full TOTA scholarship, but two of us students got one, which I think is unusual, so we each got $550 to go towards our tuitition! So I am calling it a half one! I am really excited and happy and pleased about that!
Conference was great and I want to give you all details. Unfortunately I am sooo exhausted. I drove to Nashville Friday afternoon, got up early Saturday and had conference all day, got home 6ish, dozed from 7pm to 9pm on my friend's couch, slept 9pm to 11am...so almost 14 hours of sleep...but am still exhausted from this past week. I fatigue ridiculously easily! I have chronic fatigue without the syndrome!
It's 9:20pm - I got back in town mid-afternoon, unpacked, met friends for dinner, came home and unpacked some more...and I haven't taken out the trash, done the dishes, prepped for tomorrow, washed my hair, put together my new laptop tray, finished unpacking at all, dealt with my ten thousand e-mails and online things to do, etc etc. And I just realized a few minutes ago that I had not done my treatment plan for my patient for the week - so I have to do that now. That makes me almost want to cry because I am so tired that I just want to sleep! I'm going to work on it until 10pm then go to bed. Ugh. So...I did have a fun time at conference, and I have enjoyed getting so many e-mails from OTs and OT students recently...and I will post more details about conference, hopefully tomorrow night. My wish for the night is that tomorrow afternoon I will have the energy to do all the things I did not do tonight! And my other wish is that I'll be a little bit more coherent tomorrow since I just reread what I wrote and I sound like I need some Ritalin!
So...YAY on the scholarship!!!!!! More tomorrow!!
This blog chronicles my OT journey starting from 2006 in the beginning of OT school, through 9 months of fieldwork, to my first year as an OT working in rural Deep South in physical dysfunction, to my transition into an elementary school system district in California. I'm in my third year now and learning new things every day. My mind is constantly blown by the amazingness of OT!

Yay Karen!!!
Congrats on the scholarship!!!
Congratulations on the scholarship. It must be conference season for occupational therapy folk. We have just had our 'clinical workshops' here in New Zealand (held on the off year to the conference). We were lucky as the venue this year was Cromwell in Central Otago - 2 1/2 hours away in a drive full of stunning mountain ranges, lakes and rivers. The programme was great and the company even better. Perhaps you should put New Zealand on your conference dream list - the next one is September 2008 in Palmerston North see the New Zealand Occupational Therapy Association website.
