Portfolio of a Wallflower

:shrug: I don't know. I have a pretty extensive knowledge of the human body and how it moves, and I was able to back up the reasons for the way I answered the questions. Before I had ever taken the class, I had read probably 5 different books covering anatomy. Mainly structural and kinetic anatomy, and books covering movement impairment syndromes and how to fix them, along with papers written by people like Vladimir Janda, Thomas Myers, Shirley Sahrmann, Gray Cook, etc. I probably knew more about structural and kinetic anatomy than the professor did.

(I know I kinda look like a dumb meathead, but I'm really not. ;))
>.> I don't think you seem like a meathead at all... I can tell you have a wonderful mind and I really enjoy your posts here. Thank you very much for gracing my thread! :rose:

I really admire you. I initially wanted to become a physical therapist and I loved A&P in highschool (got to dissect cats, one cat to three people. I had a pretty good school). However, I got injured in the army and I'm not able to lift peple now (back injury). So, now I just aspire to go into massage therapy, hopefully medicinal massage.

lol funny story about dissecting... we had cow eyes one time and the professor was talking about how the eye lens was formed and how it's actually just layers. WELL! My lab partner decided to try pinching it really hard to see if he could start sluffing off the layers. (he eventually did) However, the lens was still wet with formaldehyde (spelling?) and I was across the lab table, looking at the teacher as he was talking. >.> just guess what happened......... Yes. It shot out from between his fingers, straight across the table, and down my shirt. And it got stuck in my cami.
Looks can be deceiving.....Some of my " old fart" customers scoff at my long hair & tats; then don't know what to think when I explain something in depth to them. I have always gotten off on the " breaking stereotypes" thing.
Yeah... that's my blade. ^ ^ lol You're awesome. :rose:
You were certainly missed! It's nice to see you again!:):rose:

Thank you! ^ ^ And thanks for posting on my thread again. :rose:
Please forgive my effusive praise. I enjoy reading the writing of others. It's exciting. Anywho, hope you're doing great!
lol well, you're forgiven XP I think it's great to love reading the writing of others. It's a wonderful passion. I do, but I've gotten out of it, so I don't have the desire anymore, it's more like when it happens, I like it.
sorry to hear it wasn't an ideal essay. Hope you get some credit for it though. I know how disappointing these things can be.
oh, I think I'll pass with it, but still. >.< (thanks for the support!)
Did you try your best?
That is all I could ask for...


No I lied...there is a lot more I could ask for :devil:
LOL what would the top of that list be?
Good morning/afternoon, Hana

I'm sorry it turned out that way. I know that can be very discouraging and you did try really hard. The fact that you researched and studied hard and knew what you were talking about should have counted for more. That part about not getting an A because you were taking it late makes it sound like she was against you from the start.

I hope today is a great day for you! :rose:
Morning ^ ^

Well, people won't know you know unless you show you know, which is what I didn't do so well =/ so it's fair and all, and I really did show all I knew. unless I really do know it, but just forgot it, in which case I wouldn't have known it enough to make a difference and it's still a fair assessment.

She's really a wonderful professor, and she'd postponed it for me a lot. I share a car with my parents still, so two other appointments we'd set up fell through because my parents had other plans and had the car elsewhere. The fact that she let me make it up even after several no-shows from me is a great show of kindness in itself. Me not being able to get an A because it was too long after the initial exam is a solid rule. She didn't make it up just to punish me.
 
That cow eye story.. Yuck! Cow eyes were weird to discct in the first place, but being squished *shiver*.

Well it does sound like the teacher was nice to let you take the test as well as help you with the preparation. Don't focus on your past disappointments, just keep up on focusing on the future.
 
Gotta run for a bone scan now >.< just wanted to stop by and see who all was on/reply to people here. I'll ttyl! :rose:

Hope the test goes well. And remember the foot bone is connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bone is connected to the leg bone... ;)

I could make some crass comment about how my bone needs to be scanned or how I'd like you to scan my bone, or some other euphemism for boners...but I won't. :)

lol funny story about dissecting...

LOL what would the top of that list be?
I no longer do dissection (no funding). Its great for the kids but I have to stomach that stench all day every period for weeks. Not to mention the gruesome images that I saw when I close my eyes at night.
But here is my funny story (not to be a one upper :eek:)
After we were finished skinning the cat a kid asked me if he could keep the pelt. I told him once we were finished with the unit I really didn't care.
"What are you going to do with it?" I asked.
"Dude, I'm gonna hang that shit on my wall."
"You know that it is probably going to smell." I told him.
"Oh well. That is gonna look so bad ass on my wall."
After the unit was over I gave him the cat skin. Monday morning when he came back to class he was smiling from ear to ear.
"Dude, I totally traded that cat skin for a bag of weed."


So the top of the list?
How about a few more videos or pics? I've already gave a video idea (I've got a few ideas). If you need pic ideas I've got plenty of those as well :devil:

Thanks, darlin'. I think the same about you, and that's why I keep coming back here. Your thread is more than you posting a series of pictures and guys telling you how hot you are. I like that. :)

If you're really interested in massage therapy, you should read my friend's blog. www.optimumsportsperformance.com. He's a strength and conditioning specialist like I am, but he also does soft tissue work. He's one of the smartest guys I know when it comes to fixing movement issues. He's worked in a lot of different PT practices, and knew a lot about soft tissue therapy already, so he went ahead and got licensed to do it legally. He uses the therapy in conjunction with the strength training, and he's great at what he does. Anyways.... if it's really something you're interested in, you'd probably get a lot out of his blog. He also has a youtube channel where he puts up video of different treatments along with other things. http://www.youtube.com/user/OptimumSports

Here's a picture of my shoulder from a couple of weeks ago, after he got done "cupping" me. lol

Hi Hana,
Well, that's ok. I thought maybe she was giving you a hard time, but I guess not. You still know your stuff and I think you're very smart. You'll nail it on the next one! :rose:
Hope your day is going well. :kiss:
 
Good morning/afternoon, Hana :rose:

Miss you and hope to talk to you soon. :kiss:
 
G'mornin beautiful. Or good afternoon now. Just passing through, wanted to say high.

Thanks. I don't know what the results are yet, but it went fine. (the actual process)

Oh dear.. >.< was that with your adult class? or was that when you still worked with minors? lol (wonder if the dood was high before he traded your student >.>)

Ah, true, and I'll work on that (school's keeping me really busy) but yeah, for pictures.

Ty! ^ ^ I appreciate that. <3

Thanks! I've looked at his stuff and that's something like what I wanna do. Doesn't "sports medicine"encorporate a lot more than that tho?

I think I'll do really well on the final (that's the next test >.< yikes!)
Good morning, dear.

Hope your day goes well. :heart:
Thanks ^^ same for your day.
>.< I've never had something like that. I dunno how it'd be. I generally don't like different textures in my foods (it's why I don't like tomatoes and peppers) so, though the concept sounds good, I dunno if I'd like it.

I think I heard the food trend of last year was bacon, and this year it's Pot Pie? o_O
Good morning/afternoon, Hana :

Miss you and hope to talk to you soon. :kiss:
Aaw. >.< sorry I've been away so much...
G'mornin beautiful. Or good afternoon now. Just passing through, wanted to say high.

Yeah...sports medicine is kind of a general umbrella that can include many different career fields and disciplines. All the way from a MD that deals with athletes, orthopedists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, soft tissue and regen specialists, etc etc. Even the lowly strength coach has a place on the team, in terms of keeping the athlete healthy and on the field.

Trends come and go, but bacon is timeless. It's the little black dress of food. ;)

That should be your next series. You wearing a sexy little black dress while eating bacon. :D

How about a dress made of bacon?
 
Or a bacon bikini with thin strands of syrup as the string. Real maple bacon delight! Or breakfast in bed! :rolleyes:
 
so..... my desktop died. power supply went out. (play too much wow and league of legends I guess? o_O)
 
Wallflower20,

Love your photos, especially the Chinese dress series. Fabulous progression. Interesting artistic undertaking -- to be both photog and model -- but I guess that allows you freedom. Look forward to more posts. You're a lovely woman a good photog.
