It is hard to believe it, but I have finished my first full week of DPT school. One thing is for sure, there is a lot of work. Maybe its because I'm trying to make sure I keep ahead of the work and keep things planned out so I don't have to do anything last minute, but there is definitely a lot to do. I have done all my assignments for this week, and am working on next weeks now as well as studying what we've gone over in class. We will see how it goes.
One way I've surprised myself is, I didn't have a problem with the cadaver lab at all. The worst part about it was the anticipation leading up to the first unveiling and then making the first cuts. Every once and a while I'll get a whiff of something that will turn my stomach, but overall I am not having a problem with any of the dissections.
Other classes are going well. Kinesiology is fun because it deals with Physics so far. I struggled a little bit the first few days with the terminology, but now that I am getting that down I am starting to understand the concepts.
One of the things that is going to be key to my learning the material across all my classes and doing well on the tests is to integrate the material throughout the curriculum. Really understanding the material is going to take some work, but I can already see how the classes all tie together and why the material is taught the way it is.
I can't wait until I know even more about everything. It is all so interesting and I can't wait to get to a point where I can really apply it.
