Update!

The lack of posting in my blog really reflects how busy and intense 2nd year of the MSc really is! I am happy to say that I did pass my PP3 placement back in December and I did manage to  meet my placement objectives. I gained so much valuable experiences and it really opened my eyes as my first mental health placement of how transferable my work experience and my art skills are to this area of practice - I can definitely see mental health being an option for my future as an OT. For my PP3 I did separate weekly reflections to add to my CPD file to present at upcoming interviews. It feels so scary that I will be applying for jobs in just a few months time! 

Life back at university has made me a very busy bee during January! We are currently working on our new module where we choose a client group and create an intervention based on their individual needs and interests which we will be facilitating in small groups of students out in the community! This module concludes with a group presentation and an individual reflection. I am really enjoying the module so far, I love being creative and engaging in practical "doing" activities! That is very OT after all! 

I am also busy working on my dissertation project and my data collection of interviews and questionnaires starts this week! Feeling very nervous but excited about this. Becoming an OT really doesn't feel that far away now...
