Back to school! We went to class and had our last lecture about diagnosis.  Then we broke for our 3 hour lunch. When we went back to class, there was a new professor who taught us about acupuncture.  He was a doctor who specialized in sports medicine. He also played soccer on a number of different teams. He did some martial arts and water sports as well.  He taught us some acupuncture points and we got to practice with needles on some packs of tissue paper. Practice makes perfect, right?  We learned different methods to use so people can't feel the acupuncture, and how to make it not hurt (pat the area first, kind of like you're knocking on a door, but with a flat hand).  For our tai chi lesson, we learned more moves and our instructors showed us our whole routine. There's a long road ahead of us. One of them did this "drunken kung fu" performance and it was really entertaining. It looked like it hurt!
