seems like a happy, bouncy musical about lovely Laurie and her cute cowboy Curly, however it has much darker undertones. Suicide, forced relationships, and death overall are all included in this “cheerful” show. These twisted themes are presented several times throughout the musical, but are particularly visible in the songs “Pore Jud is Daid” and “Lonely Room.” Between the two of them, the songs feature our big strong cowboy Curly suggesting suicide and the monster that is Jud being briefly…

It is often thought that learning can only take place in traditional settings, such as schools or daycares. However, learning doesn’t have to be limited to an environment or subject.

As I opened my computer, I spotted the email I had been waiting for, “Congratulations! You have been chosen to complete your fieldwork at a skilled nursing facility (SNF).” I read the sentence again. “Congratulations?” I thought as I closed my computer. “There must be a mistake.” As an occupational therapy graduate student, I had already decided, working with seniors was not for me.
