Hi Trisha,

Funny you should mention APA papers because I have to come up with a

research proposal for Monday for a psych class, so this weekend will

be spent finding tons of research!!!! I prefer working hands on with

people rather than doing all research which is why I want to go into

school psych. I've found a graduate program close to my home in

Philadelphia that seems to be perfect for me. Right now I go to school

out of state, but I can't wait to move back home.

I'm also having all of my treatment done back home. I got my bottom

braces on in March and so far everything has been fine with them.

Although what is bad, is that I'm not going back for my first brace

tightening (or whatever its called!) until 9 weeks later and I'm

supposed to go in 6 weeks. Its hard to make the commute to the ortho

when I have so much going on.

When you got the expander put in your mouth by the ortho several days

before the actual surgery, did it feel strange?

Speech pathology is a great job to go into as well. At my school there

is a Speech & Hearing science major, and I know a lot of people who

are planning to go into that field after they graduate. Children

definently can tire you out though, so I understand why you chose to

work with older people. I'm curious though, what types of speech

exercises do you do with Alzehiemers patients? Isn't it hard for them

to remember what your teaching them?
