So I was informed that my posts might be a little long... to that I apologize, just trying to give everyone the full spectrum of what it's like down here in the DR. I'll try and be slightly more succinct with my posts from here on out.
So today I got to see the Dominican Republic I thought of before I came here. We made a home visit with the clinic and wow, it was pretty intense. These homes were literally scraps put together and had more people living in them than you could imagine, and there were a lot of them. It was really tough going and seeing that but it made it all the better when you realize how these people are still so happy despite having so little. We cared for our patient by giving some simple meds and making sure he was ok. When we were getting back in the car we saw some kids playing baseball with a rock and a tree branch, but they were having a blast, they know no different and they love it. I can't say anything other than: encouraging.
Despite the good afternoon, the morning was frustrating with Spansih barked at me to finish up a project I'm working on to prepare the presentation for newborn care. Definitely did not enjoy it, and definitely do not enjoy that person at work. Think I'll be avoiding her, and seeing as she works in the same office as the girl who stalks me, it should be a bit easier to avoid in general haha. Ok so I haven't been quite as succinct as I wanted, but it was a good day, got in a good run and then did a good workout afterward. Needed it.
Oh and I found out that I will unfortunately not be living with the person who I thought I was going to be living with, so if anyone in the DFW area is looking for a roommate, let me know!
