TGIF!!

Today is Friday!! I am so glad because I had a very long week.  My session went really well today.  We worked on a lot in 1 hour and I believe the clients really enjoyed the musical stimulus.  So I guess I have to come up something totally new and creative for next week!  If there were music therapy majors or music therapists reading this blog I would really like some ideas!  If not, oh well, I will just have to delve deep into my creative side.

Today I had a test in my Techniques class.  This goes hand and hand with my field experience.  It wasn't too bad because I really enjoy learning all the new techniques out there for music therapy.  Just to name a few: RAS, PSE, TIMP, MUSTIM, RSC, MEFT, APT, and many others.  I know these look like just a bunch of letters but they actually stand for many techniques used in all domains of functioning including cognitive, physical, and speech and language.  These and more techniques are good for people that have dyspraxia, aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia, TBI, CVA, developmental disabilities, dementia, and a lot of other disorders.

My spring break is coming up right around the corner!  In a couple weeks I will have 10 days of no school including weekends!  It will be very nice to have  break that is for sure!  Also, my 21st birthday is over spring break!  It is so weird to think that I am that old!  I know it's not old but I have heard that once you pass this age, time goes by way too quick!  Life has already passed me by so quickly.  I am already almost finished with my 3rd year of college and it seems like I graduated high school yesterday.  I guess you just have to make the most of every minute you are given because you never know when it may be your last.

Everybody have a wonderful weekend!  If you get bored, you should watch some of these cool videos!!!
