Thanks, Beckett. I'll do that.
And I think I'll go swimming, again, because that was good work, for me. And because my feet are getting much more... Responsive...
I can even do some exercising on the side of the pool, I think. There are mats for the diving kids. They do forwards and backwards rolls and handstands and such. I don't see any reason why I can't do bodyweight stuff like that on the side of the pool when a club team / group isn't using the space. There might even be gym balls and the like in the little area around the other side of the pool... They skip rope poolside, too.

I am in a bit of a grump...
It is hard waiting to hear about the next stuff... Whether I get an interview or not... Then whether my thesis has been accepted or not...
I feel really pleased with myself (in a happy-proud rather than a smugly-satisfied) way that I've finally looked into things more...
I get this idea that I don't want to get started too early or I'll jinx things, somehow. So I'd been putting off looking into the study / registration / training requirements of different countries...
But I see that putting things off... Is really not the way to go. That you really have to be very pro-active, indeed, because everything that can possibly work to delay you and put you off and so on... Will do so. I really did think that you just did 2 post-grad years here before applying for stuff. And I really did think that the US was not an option at all. I see it is... It's just that you need to get started years and years and years in advance... And that there is a financial investment to it, too, to the tune of thousands of dollars over multiple years for tests and access to test banks...
Anyway... Now I know. A bit more. Enough to start keeping a folder so it's easy to keep up with changes from year to year to year. Make sure I don't miss any deadlines.
I won't go telling everyone... But I'll surely be looking to make friends, yeah.
Not least because of this whole 'informed consent' thing... And because I am really most worried about clinical skills. They want to see you obtain consent for an exam. Not... Expectantly bully. I bet. It's gonna be hard trying to get that line... Especially when it's not likely to be rewarded / appreciated, here...
