Holy clinic!

My first semester of clinical practicum as a SLP student has been underway for about a month now.  I would have posted sooner, but I haven't been able to make the time!  My brain has been working in overdrive; my Clinical Educator, at the end of our clinic class, likes to ask, "Are your brains saturated?".  What an accurate summary of the past month.

This has by far been the hardest semester of my educational experience thus far.  (I can't actually be sure because I like to block out my memories of student teaching).  But it's been a huge period of growth.  I'm trying very hard to keep my stress to a minimum, which can be tricky at times because, as a cohort, my classmates and I have varying instances of difficulty with our clients, and we all individually handle stress in different ways.  Top that off with a heaping truckload of paperwork.  Deep breaths have been my saving grace.  

Today, instead of hanging out in the clinic, I decided to pack up and so the rest of my work at home.  It gives me a chance to do a couple loads of laundry and be able to work with some daylight streaming onto my work area.  

Now, back to work on SOAP notes...
