One of those days

First time in an mri machine was quite an uncomfortable experience. You lay on an uncomfortable sliding apparatus. It slides you into the machine, which reminds me of a tunnel. While the images are being taken you must lie perfectly still so the images don't get distorted. Here is an exercise for you, Lay perfectly still for 15minutes without falling asleep or movning; I bet you can't do it. Anyways, staying still for roughly 15+ minutes while images of my knees were taken was a very hard task after awhile. My back felt the most discomfort; after about 5 minutes the back was starting to hurt and I needed to reposition myself, but nope I couldn't; well I could have but that would require me hitting the "call" button, which would stop the procedure so I could move. Hmm, part of me really wanted to do that but the other part of me just wanted to hurry and get finished and get out of there. Another 20 minutes for the other leg. In addition to this trouble, they let you listen to music through their headphones because the machine is Very loud. These headphone are enormous, the thick muffs kind. After like 3 minutes, it got kind of hot, so the muffs were sticking to me and VERY uncomfortable. I'm not sure which was worse: the discomfort of the headphones or the aches of my back...

Physical Therapy (PT) was awesome, I love going to PT. It is such a neat experience and I learn something new Everytime I go. Everytime I go, it interests me more and more to a related field, or even a PT. So I always end up thinking what I want to do whenever I leave that place. I want to take the mcat, I want to be a doctor, but I love sports, strength training/stretching, athletes, and all that stuff. I want to find a related field. Orthopedics is closest to that, but they also do bone surgery, and i'm not sure if i'm up for that. Ahh, decisions, decisions...I'll see how the mcat test goes :p

After PT I rushed to the tennis center to teach at 4:30. This group started off GREAT, one of the girls brought me a "present," we were laughing, playing tennis, and enjoying ourselves. After a while, the 2 boys, who tend to be troublesome, start arguing, and it begins escalating from words to ball throwing to hitting balls at each other. Well I ended that when one of them hit the ball at the other in the face. I had to yell at them, I hated doing it, but I had to. Picked up the balls, brought them in, and angrily explained to them that they are wasting their time, my time, the girl's time, and this won't happen again. Ah I hate feeling like the bad guy, but I don't regret it, they deserved it. My next group at 5:30 is Always a fun time! Thank god for them :)

Due to my soreness from PT, I did the bike for about 15 more minutes before locking up the tc so I could do my "intense" stretch routine.

*SIGH* What a long day. I'm not sure if today was a good day or a bad day? Do you ever have days that you don't know how to rate? (Assuming you even rate your days). A lot of ups and downs, I don't like days that have many ups and downs, I like consistency and normally I can control the outcome of a good/bad day but some days/things are just out of our control. Well the best part about it all is that, when I wake up, it's a new day, fresh start 8-)
