Crunch Time

Its pretty much like I am running a marathon right now and I am at the end of the race. I really really really want to sprint just to get to the end!! But, I know that these are some of the last weeks I will have as an undergraduate before I hit the real world so I am trying to slow down a bit!

I am continuing with a group of my classmates to produce Grand Valley's first indoor triathlon like I had stated in an earlier blog. It is less than a month away and all the last minute details are being taken care of these last couple weeks. We are in the process of finding vendors and getting donations and prizes set up for winners. It should be a really cool and rewarding event in the end. It has taken lots of hard work from all of my fellow classmates that are planning it, along with all the participants that have been training for the race. Lots of press has been generated from this being the first thing of the sort at Grand Valley. We are all really excited to see how it turns out.

Classes are still really enjoyable! I am starting to see that things I had learned in past classes are being put to good use in the later, upper level classes I am taking now. But, with the end of the year comes end of the year projects... therefore, this makes my life pretty hectic right now! End of the year group projects, papers, and portfolios are on the 'To-Do' list for the rest of the year.

I am still waiting to see if I get into Occupational Therapy Graduate school at this point. Whether or not I get in will affect a lot in my life including where I live and if I need to find a job!

A lot of big things will be happening these last few weeks of school!! Keep checking up on the blog to find out how everything pans out!!!

Im planning on getting a masters in Occupational Therapy, what are the popular majors that people take for it?

People usually do a Psychology bachelors program or a health professions bachelors program. BUT, you can major in ANYTHING you want! You just have to make sure you take the OT graduate program prerequisites. I am an exercise science major and I just had to make sure all the classes were taken that were needed to apply to the program here at Grand Valley.

Hope this helps!!! Let me know if you have any more questions!
