School

I have school today from 1:15-9:45. On Thursdays I have two lecture classes in a row: Professional Development III and Anatomy II. After not having been in school for seven years it is a bit of a challenge for me to sit still that long! Luckily the teachers are great. I adore Dr. Kelli, who taught Anatomy I, and so far I really like Cynthia, a CMT who teaches Prof. Dev. III. I'm not sure who will teach Anatomy II, as the first class is this evening.

Massage school is turning out to be a really positive part of my life. I feel like I made the right decision to go, and let me tell you, after feeling like I've made some very bad decisions concerning furthering my education in the past it feels GREAT to know that I've finally made a good one. On Tuesdays we have Massage I, and basically it involves practicing massage on each other for four hours. Ahhh... I sleep better, I have more energy, my skin clears up, and I'm in a good mood afterwards! This of course gives me faith in the entire profession and the importance of touch.

I like my classmates too. We are so very different from each other, and I am the oldest out of the bunch, but this gives me a different perspective on life and relating to others. I don't have many friends that are younger than me, and I'm finding that they have a lot to teach me. Sometimes I feel like an old fart. My colleagues (at work too, as most of them are younger than me also) remind me not to take life too seriously and to have fun. It is so easy to forget that.

Anyway, I'm off to class.
