TRI-5, Wk5, Day 289 - Wednesday, June 9th

I've been taking it easy for the past couple days ...well, I guess there's only been one day away from school besides today (Friday) but it seems like a while. I took a lot of naps yesterday (thur) which I'm sure didn't hurt me any. Got a little more energy today and just got back from a local track to get in some jogging.

I had thoughts of running out to the Logan homecoming today for a Diff Dx lecture but the overcast skies made the thought of driving unappealing (and the thought of jogging more appealing)

I have four test next week and four the following week. In many classes we only have two exams, a midterm and a final. So, if I get nice grades on my midterms then I'll be feeling pretty good about things for the rest of the semester and if I get poor grades then I'll be significantly more stressed.

I was just playing Volume 2 of my Diversified Adjusting DVD and decided to list the moves on the first part of the disc below. I'll have to know the last 17 adjusting moves for my practical next Tuesday.

Today we have a nice picture of the upper cervicals - only two vertebra, C1 (aka the Atlas) and C2 (aka the Axis). 17 moves just for those two little bones and that's just from one adjusting technique (Diversified).
