Picture of the Week
Snorkling with the Fellow Interns

Sunday, August 8, 2010

So it's been a while since I've posted anything on here and I figure it's due time for an update.  I am currently on the North Shore where some family friends from back home have a condo and I came up to visit while they were on a little trip down here.  Definitely been a nice, relaxing weekend to get away from everything.  All has been well, I think I am pretty ready to be back home and back to familiarity.

Work has been well, we were pretty busy in the clinic this week, which was definitely nice.  When there are a lot of patients to be seen, it keeps things interesting and I learn quite a bit so I really enjoy that.  I am struggling with a lot of down time and trying to keep myself occupied otherwise and it's hard to not just fix my thoughts solely on home and how I can make it come faster.  I do move in with my host family when I get back from being up here on the North Shore and I cannot wait for that, I think that will make the experience a lot better as well and I'll get to know some Dominicans and form some real friendships and relationships with the people down here.

On another note, I am pretty sure that one of the Americans that works in the clinic is just simply trying to ruin my life down here.  Ok, maybe not really haha, but seriously she kind of sucks.  She had me housesit for her while she was down here and the cat she has is seriously a devil cat.  And all I wanted in return was to borrow the charger for the computer that they have at the clinic in the night time when I go home so I can use a computer, and of course she said no... she doesn't want to "set the precedent."  And then to top it off, when I told her I was coming out here to Cabarete this weekend, she just goes "oh well that will be fun to see your friends but I hear there's a big storm coming in."  I cannot wait to tell her the weather was absolutely perfect and I haven't seen a cloud for two days.  10 points JJ.

I'll try and get some more posts when I can, I mean I definitely have the time, but I am trying to fill it with other things than the computer because being on facebook 24/7 doesn't really help the whole homesick aspect of it all.  Hope all is well back home.. deuces for now.
