Well, the big game is over and the best commercial was the beard comb-over. The semester is starting to become hectic, with two solid weeks of midterms coming. Patients are slowly straggling in and most of us have fabricated two AFO's. We are still currently fundraising for our trip to San Fran and thank you to all that have contributed, it is greatly appreciated. That's all for now.

Cheers,
Travis

Class Theme Song

The Superest Sunday!!

Hey all

Well, it is that special time of year again, the hoopla, the trash talk, the commercials, and oh yeah there is a Football game too!!
I am not really sure why but I couldn't sleep this morning, it felt like Chritmas morning I was too excited. Will Peyton get that monkey of his back and win the big game, getting his critics off his case once and for all. Personally, I hope so.

Our Class is getting together to watch the big game, eat some pizza, nachos, dirty bird all the good stuff that goes with football. Hopefully it is a good game, unlike so many superbowls in the past.

If anyone is interested in learning a little something about the superbowl check out http://www.superbowl.com/

Also, our class kind of developed a theme song during exam time last year and I thought we should post it on here. So here it is. (Thanks Jody).

Take Care

Powering Up

The Second Semester has begun, everyone had successful exams and we are all beginning new term projects. We will be reseaching a disease or disorder, casting a patient in the community with the condition, and fitting them with an appropriate orthoses.


Our Focus right now is on Ankle Foot Orthoses, we've had 1 patient volunteer and (hopefully) more are on their way. We have been filming pathological gait of our patients in the Gait Lab, as well as analyzing the biomechanical differences of walking in good shoes vs. High heels (Even one of the guys was a good sport and wore a pretty pair of 4" Slingbacks). Videos will be up on the Goal Site Shortly!

Here we are, the class of 08'. It's been a great year, with a great group. Term paper presentations are now finished, and it was impressive to see how much work everyone put into them. 5 more exams to go and it's home for the holidays.

Cheers!

Light at the end of the tunnel

Thank God that we can see the end goal, becoming certified and practicing in the field. If not we might not have survived the last two weeks or be able handle the next 8 days. The light at the end of the tunnel is still bright, even if we don't quite know what karotinohyaline is...? Term 1 is almost over guys!
peace.

Crunch Time

Hey All,

We are all sticking together and helping each other through the remaining 9 days of stress!! Can't wait for Christmas break, we are going to eat and be lazy and we are going to love it!!

Til next time, from the P&O class of '08.
