On the way work to this morning my microbus was playing an american pop/hiphop CD that included Rhianna, NeYo, and Usher. It was kinda bizarre given the setting. Last day at the clinic today. Have to say it was pretty uneventful (patientwise). I think the most interesting patient that came in had been in a knife fight and was getting dressings changed and sutures out. It was such a short time to work somewhere that I didn't really get attached to it all. Everyone was great though. Especially my nurse friend, Mina. She helped me shop for nuts today as I need some sort of protein. I weighed myself today and saw that I've lost 3 lbs already and i'm sure it's all muscle. maybe from a kind of unbalanced diet. She also gave me some parting gifts including fancy tika and wished me luck on my trekking with a white silk scarf. I wouldn't have been able to do the school project without her help!
At home Shamiksha was sick and stayed home from school. I watched their neighbor perform some witchdoctor type stuff. He was motioning pulling and sucking out the sickness and throwing it out...interesting. I started separating my stuff/re-packing for my upcoming trek. Weeee! Everyone has been telling me that the area I will be going to is beautiful, clean, and "heavenly." Hope it lives up to the hype!
