Dillon Scissor-Hand

So the last few weeks has been a struggle because of my hand surgery, but I am finally out of my cast and more mobile. I can use my hand for simple things but can't lift weights or do anything to crazy. My goal is to be able to hold a briefcase in my fingers and I am slowly making progress. My hand therapist is a faculty member down at the Center City Hahnemann Campus. I go down there once an week and each week she has given me more hand exercises. Currently I have a six exercises workout which takes up 30 minutes at a time, 4 times a day. Either way, I am sticking to schedule because I don't want to re-injure my hand. So about 6 weeks down... 3 months to go?

I had all 3 of my midterms over the past two weeks. I had my last midterm tonight in Criminal Law. It consisted of 18 essay and short answer questions and almost took me 3 hours to complete. Even though the test was so long, I enjoyed taking it. The test had a lot of scenarios for which we had to develop the best defense or prosecution. I usually don't enjoy taking tests, but I really enjoyed this one. Who knows kids... maybe one day you could enjoy taking a test?

Speaking of tests, Friday I will be taking the GRE tests. The GREs are basically the SATs for college students. I thought I was done with standardized testing once I left high school, but I am still studying vocab words and analogies. Please, wish me luck!

So, lets move on to the highlight of the week. The Philadelphia Soul won the AFL Arenabowl Championship! The Soul was the best team all season and they finally brought a championship to Philly. It may not be a World Series, Stanley Cup, or Superbowl, but its something. Another huge advantage to the Soul winning is that Jon Bon Jovi is going to play a free concert in Philly since the Soul won. For those who don't know, Bon Jovi owns the Soul. So if you're a Bon Jovi fan, keep your ears open for a free concert.

Anyway I need to get back to studying... or watching TV... no wait, studying.
