OT Blog Carnival - Edition #1

Hot off the presses: OT Blog Carnival!

What is a blog carnival?
Basically, posts from different blogs are collected and published together. Typically, there's a common theme/topic. Given that this was the inaugural edition, topics were varied. I read the "pseudo-review" of Occupational Therapy Without Borders: Learning From The Spirit of Survivors. I love reading how OT has a place outside the typical rehab setting. I have been reading about family volunteer vacations and would love to be able to do this when the kids are older.

A bit off topic (but not really): my family and I are planning to go visit the Philippines this summer. While we're there, I would love to see what role OT has in another country. Is it the same in the US? How is it different? If anyone would be willing to have a stranger (a very nice and courteous stranger, mind you) shadow them for a couple of hours, please let me know!

This week is midterms. I've been pretty good about reading and studying but I need a break (hence the post).

We also received our fieldwork assignments for later this summer and winter. One will be out of state and the other will be back home. It's going to be tough going out of state (financially and emotionally) but I felt that the sacrifice will be well worth it. Besides, I don't think I would have the opportunity down the road to just visit another facility for 3 months so I could not pass it up.

Things are going to be super-crazy busy in the next couple of weeks: school, possibly moving to the new house, trying to sell/rent the old place (in this market?), the usual kid stuff, etc.. Just taking it a day at a time...

It's a New Day
