[wellbodymind]

My #biodynamicmeditation today started with 10 bhastrikas, some back-and-forth between monkey mind and Tide, and then settling into a stillpoint at the sacral end of the central channel, where it stayed and got into a slow swirl for over half of my 30-minute session. I need healing there, from my tailbone broken when I was about 6 to a difficult childbirth at 28 to my sacral ligaments being stretched out in a car wreck when I was 43. I’m grateful to have the assistance of the biodynamic healing energy through these meditations and also through giving and receiving #craniosacralbiodynamics sessions, which work on me as well as the receiver in the unified healing field. Physical therapy exercises, qi gong, and yoga help as well. It has occurred to me that prospective students of Craniosacral Biodynamics could benefit from learning and practicing Biodynamic Meditation. It would serve as a jumpstart for training. #craniosacraltherapy #sacral #centralchannel #tide #monkeymind #stillpoint #swirliness #biodynamictraining #prospectivestudents #unifiedfield #healing #selfhealing Photo taken in January 2020 at Dhamma Siri, Kaufman, Texas.

SMCM Advertising (Sunsets)

Everything about the way SMCM advertises (I would say minus certain programs like the career center and Study Abroad [even athletics a little]) is so tone deaf to me and tells me that upon acceptance to the college we are just numbers and metrics. Anyway, if you are considering this college please consider the institution behind all the beautiful sunset photos on campus. 

Admittedly, I am no stranger to taking them anywhere ranging from daily (basically my first to second year) to occasionally/rarely (the rest of the years), so in some cases I also perpetuate this propaganda of a great school with a beautiful campus. But I beg of you to look a little deeper beyond what admissions sells you and what you hear on the surface level. There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes with the social scene on campus and admins that I wish I knew before I came here. Now, I look at those waterfront sunset photos a a little bit differently. There is so much more happening here beyond my original thoughts my first and second year of “Oh this campus is great, I have friends, and the faculty/academics here aren’t bad.” It honestly effects me daily.

Summer Preview Day!

This past Friday, August 3rd, Smith College Admissions hosted our annual Summer Preview Day! Smith hosts four of these Preview Days every year: one in the summer, two in the fall (9/29 and 11/12 this year) and one in the spring (4/6 in 2019). Preview Days are wonderful opportunities to visit and tour Smith’s campus; meet admissions officers, faculty members, current students, and other prospective students; and attend special information sessions and activities that are not normally available to students who visit campus on regular days (usually you only get to do a tour with a student and a general information session with an admissions officer). Here’s what the schedule looked like for this Preview Day:

In addition to organizing tour routes/schedules for tour guides and giving a tour at 10:15, I helped to usher prospective students and their families to and from events, attended “Putting Your Best Foot Forward” with my coworker Minji just for fun (it was super funny!), and joined everyone at the lunch at noon to mingle with prospective families and faculty members! Here are a couple photos from the day:

Julianne and I spent last Saturday afternoon taking photos of prospective (and committed!) Clark studies next to Freud! It was an awesome way to get to know some members of the class of 2021, and spend some time in the beautiful sunshine. We loved meeting you all and can’t wait to see you in the Fall! (Shout out to Shaun Holt--our previous Clark Diarist director--for making an appearance, as well as some awesome prospective Clark parents for jumping in for a photo!)

The Great Work Experience Masterpost

Hi everyone!

This is gonna be a huge blurb of work experience related advice, based off my own experience, the UK university requirements and also The Work Experience Bible on TSR. Go check it out if you haven’t already, as it’s incredibly useful!

So, for those of you who don’t know, most UK vet schools expect you to have done something called ‘work experience’ before you apply to vet school.

So what exactly is it? Essentially, you volunteer at a local kennels, farm or vet practice, and get to see lots of things a vet may do in their day-to-day job. Or at least, ideally. You will most probably spend a lot of time cleaning, and a lot of time standing around watching, and a lot of time trying to think of interesting things to ask.

Why should I bother? Well, it’s a good way to see if the job is really for you, because you’ll get to see what vets get up to, and if you don’t like the idea of relieving a dog’s anal glands, work experience is a good way to find this out, rather than after 5 years of uni, and having to do it yourself… Similarly, its a really good way of finding out more about what you’re really letting yourself in for. You get to see all sorts of things you may not even have considered — how the vet deals with aggressive dogs, or people for that matter, and other routine tasks. You can learn a lot by watching, and even more by asking questions, even stupid ones — chances are if you ask it now, you’ll probably be asked a similar thing by an interviewer, lecturer, or client! Also, as I said previously, it is actually required by most of the vet schools, and recommended by all of them. Some unis are pretty strict on it too — more later.

Okay, well, how much of my life will I lose to work experience? Unfortunately, quite a bit. Depending of course how close you are to applying, and which unis you’re planning on applying to. The following placements are pretty much essential:

Lambing Large animal practice — note, most won’t let you until you’re 18, so most unis will understand if you can’t get any Small animal practice Stables Kennels/ Cattery/ R.S.P.C.A etc Farm, other than lambing (e.g. cows/pigs/poultry)

Some unis have different requirements than others, e.g. RVC wants work experience from at least 2 different small animal practices. It’s best to check the websites and ask the question on open days for the uni you’re applying to. The general rule is the more the better, because its an incredibly competitive course (ignore the medics who say its less competitive than medicine, because they’re wrong), and anything you can do to make your personal statement stand out will help you secure your interviews.

If you have time to do more than the minimum, your options are to;

Do extra weeks at different vet practices, farms, stables etc; going to different places will let you see how routines and procedures vary from place to place.  

Try and get a Saturday job with animals (local vet practices are sometimes an option), even if its voluntary, to boost your application. This will show commitment as you’ve worked there over a longer time period — working at a vets every Saturday for 6 months looks better than working at a vets for 1 week.

Try and get more outlandish placements to help make you stand out. One or two of the following would be plenty, some suggestions include; · Zoos- they are hard placements to get but will show your dedication and are very interesting · Abattoirs (only 1 or 2 days max needed) · Labs · Racing tracks · Other exciting stuff e.g. elephant sanctuary — better if you’re planning on taking a gap year

How do I get placements? Often the hardest part of the process. If you’ve just received your 84726th email saying they have ‘no placements available’, ‘no insurance for volunteers’ or simply ‘no animals’ (honestly an email I received once), then don’t lose faith! Often, it’s a load of bullish*t to see how persistent and dedicated you are, so try not to be too disheartened, as they are trying to rule out the time wasters! This is how you can find placements:

Yellow pages Your eyes — obvious but its surprising what you miss when you’re not looking The internet Word of mouth — you’ll be amazed at how many people your local farmer or vet knows- one placement will soon lead to another On here - http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=349634 

Contacting them:

Write in — some people swear by this as its formal and will create a good impression, however it can be incredibly slow —  you often wait weeks for replies and it doesn’t really spur them into giving you a placement … However if you aren’t getting anywhere then seriously — get off your arse and do something; Ring them up — It’s often better to take a more persistent approach than writing. This way also gives you an instant reply, if they take down your number it’s unlikely they will ring you back — so it’s up to you to keep pestering them until they get the message that you are serious! Email — if you don’t like using the phone, emailing is much quicker than writing, and some practices will give you an email address to contact if you phone them Drop in — go in and speak to them in person: they get to meet you, see that you are serious and will work hard (and it’s often harder to say no in person). Get introduced — if the placement is a friend of a friend, ask them to introduce you, as people are more likely to help out a friendly face. If you have animals, go along on vet visits and mention it to the vet when you meet them (especially useful with equine vets if your lucky enough to own one of those!). If you have a farm placement ask the farmer if they can introduce you to their vet… etc etc. Keep on pestering (unless its due to insurance reasons — then they really can’t take you)!

Actually getting there — not many people live near farms as they are often in the middle of nowhere! Here are a few of your options:

Public transport — it might mean stupidly early mornings but it has to be done, and other people will do it Parents — some parents will be willing to give you a lift if you’re lucky (bless my parents) Drive — if you get the chance, learn to drive and get a car, it makes it a lot easier Live in — if you have to travel a considerable distance ask if they would be able to put you up. People can be very accommodating when they hear your predicament and you may be lucky enough to get a room for free onsite Cycle — if there’s no public transport then it may mean some early mornings and a long hike… If you want it badly enough, you’ll do it.

So, I’ve finally got a placement, and I know how to get there — what will I need to wear?

Honestly, it can vary hugely. If you’ve got a placement at a small animal practice, most will probably indicate what you need to wear, and often it’s a blouse/shirt and trousers, with smart but sturdy shoes, but if you’re unsure just ask. For lambing and other farm work — wellies, lots of layers, clothes you don’t mind getting mucky, waterproofs, gloves, overalls. Some people swear by steel toe cap boots, and others say they’re too heavy and not comfortable enough to stand around in all day, so do what you think is best — I managed fine without steel toe caps! Stables — layers, waterproofs, and wellies. Kennels — same as above, but you can probably get away with walking boots or old trainers.

In general, use your common sense. There’s no point wearing your expensive pair of jeans if they’re going to get covered in God-knows-what.

What will I do whilst I’m there?

Lots of cleaning. Wherever you end up, there will always be a lot of things that need cleaning or tidying, be it surgical instruments, kennels, or stables. Cleaning is a really good way of busying yourself when there’s not a lot to do — just check with whoever’s around first that its okay. It’s also a really good way to earn brownie points, a lot of my first week at the vets was cleaning instruments and kennels, but by my last week I was helping out with lots of more exciting things; drawing up vaccines, helping hold cats, and even rubbing some caesarean puppies! Another thing I did which really helped when it came to writing my personal statement was keep a diary - if you record dates, times you worked, and what you did, it can really help you to remember when you’re writing that critical paragraph in September. The most important thing is to ask lots of questions; it shows you’re keen and interested, and means you actually learn something from your work experience. If a vet or nurse is doing something, ask them why they’re doing it. If a farmer is administering antibiotics, ask them what sort of diseases they’re aiming to prevent. etc, etc, etc. The worst thing you can do is stand around gormless looking bored, as you won’t get a lot out of your placement, and the people you’re working with probably won’t think much of you!

Which brings me on to…

Do I need a reference?

It’s a pretty good idea to ask for a reference whilst you’re there, as many of the universities ask for one. Try to get somebody quite high up to write it, as that often looks better, but don’t worry if they can’t. Make sure it’s signed and on headed paper as otherwise it could just be written by anyone!!

What kind of portfolio do I need for my interview/portfolio review?

At your interview/portfolio review, we like to see samples that reflect your best work. If you have originals, bring them, but quality reproductions are fine too. Remember we do NOT expect prospective students to show work at the level of our currently enrolled students.

Spotlight: Serving Children with Infectious Disease

Heather Heizer, a 2008 CHA/PA graduate [of Colorado University], has had an interest in healthcare as long as she can remember.  Her sister was diagnosed with Type I diabetes as an infant and her mother is a nurse, so she understood the importance of quality healthcare even as a young child.   Before joining PA school, Heather spent several years as a lab researcher at National Jewish Health working on projects associated with tuberculosis and staphylococcus.  While enjoying her research experience, Heather ultimately felt drawn to a profession with more human interaction and set her sights on PA school. Since graduation, Heather has worked at The Children’s Hospital Colorado in the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.  She has always had a passion for microbiology so this field, coupled with her love for working with children, is a perfect fit.  The patients she sees most commonly have fevers of unknown origin, osteomyelitis, brain abscesses, fever in the return traveler, post exposure prophylaxis, and a variety of other infectious etiologies.  She also precepts CHA/PA students and finds that teaching keeps her current as well as strengthens her skills. 

“I try to teach the students to enjoy the journey, to have fun, and to make the most out of any learning experience they are in because ultimately, the experience is what you choose to make it.”

The field of infectious disease also presents its challenges.   Heather works with victims of sexual assault soon after the exposure.   While difficult, she feels this gives her the opportunity to “offer kindness, compassion, and some hope in extremely horrible circumstances."  Additionally, she sees children who are terminally ill or in a later stage of their disease.  Her goal with these young patients is to provide some joy and laughter while sharing a painful journey.  Heather finds that children are so resilient and uninhibited, and despite the demands, she feels honored to serve this population.

Ultimately, Heather can sum up her love of working with patients and their families through her favorite Emerson quote:   “To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

Last update on the witchcraft classes on discord!

(Regarding Minors)

Estimated open: 04/20/2020

If you’re interested in being a mentor, please follow the founders @necrokidd and @iwitch-plus then fill out this application

If you’re interested in being a student, please reblog this post with the tag #prospectivestudent or DM me saying you’re interested! PLEASE DON’T DO BOTH. Only one or the other. 😁 If you’ve already done one of those things, please don’t do it again! You’re already on our list of people to contact when the server is open 💖

If you’re interested in being a mod, please DM me stating such.

If you want to know more about the server, please read my last post as I won’t be restating everything here. You can reblog that post if you’re interested in being a student as well, just only reblog one with the tag! Thank you 💖

Update about minors in the server:

I’ve gotten a few DMs from minors wanting to be in the server, even tho it’s stated that the server is 18+

Well, after talking it through and giving it some thought, we decided

we’ll gladly let minors 16+ come learn with us!

If they can provide written parental consent.

That means written down, on a piece of paper, something like “I give consent for my child to participate in the witchcraft classes on discord.” (Or something like that) with the signature of a parent or guardian.

If you cannot provide that, please don’t bother DMing me to try to get in or change my mind! If you are under 16 and want to get in, don’t bother with that either! There’s a reason young minors aren’t allowed and it’s for the staff’s safety AND YOURS!! If we find out you’re lying about your age, you’ll find yourself in a pickle, so please don’t lie!! You will learn your way without this discord server, I promise! There are so many other servers and resources out there 💖
