-I've continued giving consults on my own as well as with the doctor, where I see TONS of interesting stuff. Yesterday I arrived to yet another community (on the road to Belize, La Maquina, in case you're looking at a map) where another crowd of about a hundred women were waiting with their children. It's so fast paced and we went literally non-stop for five hours. I was so hungry afterward that it didn't occur to me to ask for beans or eggs, so I almost ended up eating COW.
-This morning, I went to a different part of the clinic with the doctor I've been working with to help with gyn exams with the sex workers. (I actually didn't do anything, except learn how to do the exam without a speculum...I'm still trying to figure that one out...) The highlight was a young woman that liked my eyes and mentioned she's always wanted a child with eyes my color. This was after telling me I really should be paying to sit in on these appointments.
-Wendy's sister returned from the capital. I now live with five people, have a hundred million frequent house guests, and there is one bathroom. Oh, and two turkeys just arrived today (no, the animals, my parents are still mentally preparing to make it down here).
-I'm currently studying for my next exams in bio, chem and physics, which is exhausting. Call me a nerd, but Campbell's Biology is probably one of my favorite books out there, but it's a trip reading it in Spanish. Thank goodness for google books, since it's out there for free. Next will be chemistry and physics, which I'm not so sure about. Wish me luck the week of the 20th when I take the tests!
