So this week has been interesting, to say the least. I've been doing somewhat of the same stuff, but with a few twists. I've been doing a lot of Rehabilitation work, like STEM and Ultrasound therapy, as well as working with players to work out bumps and bruises. I don't do a lot of taping, because I haven't been "officially" taught how to do it, I was just shown how. I have taped the Intern's ankles multiple times though, and am getting decent at it.

The past two days have been a little weirder because of people coming in. Wednesday, Coach Walton (project advisor) came in for his visit during the practice, so Dean and I spent most of the practice talking with him about the project, and AFL in general. While that didn't mean a lot when it came to the project in general, as there wasn't much to do when he was there, today was different. After talking with Trainer Meg, my project came up. One thing led to another, and Trainer Meg and Catherine Yoke (her student trainer/independent work) got up bright and early and came in to observe what goes on around the training room and in practice. It was a different twist to things, as anytime I wasn't doing something, she was asking questions about what happens. It was nice to have a little twist to things, and it was fun to see Meg try to function before 2 PM! (Anyone that has talked to her about it knows that she usually tends to sleep in, and doesn't come in until around 2)

Because of the rains last night, we came into the room today and found the carpet soaked. There was such a bad storm where the practice facility is located, that it flooded the training room and the equipment room, making everything really wet, and more difficult to work with. Apart from that, it was a fun week. The team is away this weekend, meaning that I will only have next week with the team. While that fact is kind of sad, knowing that I will be able to hold my own in the future is very promising.
