Fall 2014 Semester Classes & Books

Hey guys, it's that time again! New semester, new classes, new books!



I waited to the very last minute to register. The director emphasized that she wanted us to make sure that we were going to pass anatomy before registering. I knew I would pass, but for some reason I just kept pushing it off and pushing it off. Classes start on August 20th and my last final is December 10th! I have to take Theory and Foundations of OT, Introduction to Evaluation and Intervention in OT (which has a lab), Research Process in Occupational Therapy, Occupational Performance Throughout the Lifespan, and Conditions in OT. These all total 15 hours. I'm looking forward to all my classes minus Research Process in OT. It just doesn't sound fun. lol


This is what my schedule is looking like this semester. Classes 3 times a week!
(Unless I have an exam in "Conditions in OT")
Since I only have classes roughly three times a week I plan to take out more time for myself to do the things that I want to do and focus on. Like I told one of my friends, I have spent the last 3 years of my life focusing on school, school, school and not really my happiness. I want to do yoga at least once a week and I want to start reading for leisure again as well as actually start reading my Bible again. Just the small things you know, the ones that I always push to the side because "I don't have time" "I have to study" "I'm too tired"....whatever the reason may be. I also plan to eat healthier because my diet is pitiful and that's probably why I never have the energy I need. Since I have a sensitivity to caffeine once my energy is gone it is a WRAP!

On to the books...

  1. Hey Bemo,

    Can you please tell me how to create a schedule using microsot word, I remember seeing your video, but I forgot how to do it. It would be very helpful, thanks.

    1. Hey Christina!

      Sorry, I am just now seeing this.

      It's probably way too late now but I did it by using a table. I no longer have the video but you just want it to have as many columns as the days you need + 1 (for the time slot labels) and as many rows as the times you need + 2 (for the title of the schedule and the days of the weeks). Then you just do some merging and centering until it look likes you need it to. It's really confusing to explain through text, but hopefully that makes a little sense.

    2. The schedule that I have pictured in my blog is actually one that the coordinator made but she just used Excel!
