Blog = Ramble about my life... great!

To my now 6 followers.... I am sorry this is probably the worlds worst blog to follow because nothing happens on it! By the way, it seems a little sac-religious to call you all "followers."  Just throwing that out there.  I may feel that way because I've been watching all the Harry Potters and the word "followers" reminds me of Voldemort... So maybe I'll just call you all my blog friends!
Speaking of Harry Potter, I am going to tell you about my interest in Harry Potter.  I started reading the books when they came out - when I was in 4th grade maybe?  I read the first 4 and then the 5th took too long to come out so I forgot what happened in the first 4 by the time it did and I am NOT a re-reader.  So then I had a plan to watch the first 4 movies then read the last 3 books then watch those movies. Well.... that never happened.  I tried to watch the first movie like 4 times, finally watched it and then never moved on to the next movies.  This summer however, I am proud to announce that I have regained my interest in Harry Potter, watched all 7 movies and went to see part 2 of the 7th movie in the theater! WAHOO!!! I'm all caught up! And all I have to say is, I'm glad I didn't read the 7th book because I think I would have been so confused when Harry Potter comes back to life... that was just weird.  But great movies!
Okay now that I officially just look like a huge Harry Potter nerd.... let me tell you about this crazy life of mine...
I am offically more than 1/3 of a physical therapist! I have decided outpatient spinal cord patients are not the people I want to work with all of the time - I decided this after my 10 week internship at Neuroworx (an outpatient neuro clinic).  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the patients and think it is all very interesting, but I just get so attached to the patients and the emotional aspect of the job is pretty rough for me.  I think also if the progress were quicker I could possibly handle it more, so maybe inpatient is more my thing... I don't know.  Good thing I'm only 1/3 of a PT, because I really need to figure out what kind of PT I want to be! I did love my internship though! It was a great experience, I learned a lot and I will forever remember the patients I worked with.  They taught me a lot and I truly am inspired by their outlooks on life.  As far as school goes though, it's pretty good! I am learning a lot and really enjoying it! I am trying to set up my internship for next summer back east somewhere... but I may end up in Ogden Utah. hahaha! We'll see!
This summer I also took on a new hobby! hahah Well... I don't think it is actually a hobby, more of a chore - I learned to paint and my roommates and I have painted almost our entire house! haha It is a really good workout! Every time I painted I would end up having sore shoulders the next day! It was a long process and a lot of work, but dang our house looks so much better!  Now if I could just master cooking - it is one of my new years resolutions for 2011... I better get on that!
I just got back from visiting the historical triangle in Virginia with Ryan.  The historical triangle is Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg.  It was great!  I have a secret love for history - like a lot of people I have found.... and I really enjoyed walking around in all the colonial cities.  Colonial Williamsburg was mine and Ryan's favorite! We went to this place called Chownings Tavern for dinner - SO MUCH FUN!  I had the best ribs I have ever had in my entire life and the entertainment was a blast! They had a few musicians playing bag pipes (which I absolutely LOVE) and drums and singing funny songs, a magician who was actually quite hillarious and talented, and then we also got to participate in playing colonial games!  Ryan and I played this dice game - not real sure what it was called, but I did win - both times! The whole experience was just fanatastic! Our waitress acted like she was from back in colonial times, dressed like it and spoke like it, we ate in an old building with only candles for lights and like I said, the food and entertainment was excellent! I bought the Colonial Williamsburg cookbook at the gift shop and am going to attempt to become an excellent chef before 2012 so I complete that part of my new years resolution.  Doing a pull up is the other part... geeze! You would like I could do a pull up by now - I seriously lift wieghts every single week! It's ridiculous that I can't do it.
Well.... I don't really know what else to blog about, so I think I'll just stop! Thanks for listening/reading!
Love, Bre
