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...

I enjoyed the blog carnival too (I submitted an entry about occupational therapy's role in the Death With Dignity law just enacted in WA State). I thought the entry about the book review was interesting- says a lot when you can write an engaging review having never read the book!

emm... bookmarked thread.
Hi! I've enjoyed reading your blogs, especially since I love design and dream of one day building a custom home. In any event, I found this site on an OT blog. I was wondering if you could speak some as to what made you pursue OT when you did. I am an older wanna-be OT student and in a totally different field. Could you tell me more about some of the positives and challenges of being in the class room setting with students fresh out of college? How about in your job search? Any information you could give would be much appreciated. Warmest regards! --Alice
