And lecturing begins

Classes:
1-3 Perspectives of Adult Dev.
3-4 OCP Adult
4-5 Perspectives of Adult Dev.

Today we had class at 1!! Sweet. So this morning I swam with a friend and played in her pool! Then we got lunch. Classes today talked about psychological disorders, intro to assistance technology, and burns. The burn lecture was difficult to sit through, because the images just made my stomach curl. Pictures of baby's with their face burned off or men with burns down the bone. It made my heart ache for each of those patients. Our guest lecturer on the psych disorder lecture said something that made me giggle two hours after class. See, we have a class in chattanooga that we see via feed on a TV. He goes, " you want me to talk to the tv? that is what my patients do!" hahaha!!

I like Dr. Faulkner's words of advice for us in the closing of his lecture, so I thought I would share them here:

"Question everything: find out why, not just what.
Act like other people: how do they impact their environment?
Modify your capabilities: limit yourself in the environment.
Think strange thoughts: be inventive, ask 'why' and 'why not' "
