Where I’ve been

It’s been just over a month since I last posted anything, so I just wanted to post a quick update as to where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to. First, I was concentrating heavily on studying for the NBCOT exam. I might dedicate a blog post about the whole process, but for now, I can happily report that my many hours of intense studying paid off and I passed the exam! I got my official state license, and I’m now a fully legal occupational therapist with lots of letters after my name (MS, OTR/L).

With all that studying, I knew I’d need a break and so I went with my family to Israel, where I spent an amazing two weeks vacationing. This is something I’d recommend to anyone: Take a vacation before you start working; you’ll never be able to take off for this long again!

I finally returned to the United States, and after a week to recover from jet lag, I started my new job working in an acute care hospital. Tomorrow begins week two, and I’m still finding it hard to believe that I’m a working man!
