Good Vibrations

7/6/11

It's been a pretty good day.  Dr. Alex kind of took me on as his project today, and he taught me all he could think of about HIV, Ugandan culture, ward rounds, and Ugandan politics.  As random as those topics sound, it was actually a really good day for learning.  I also did a minute amount of writing.  I came home and Verity and I took a long walk (yay exercise!), found some Ugandan chocolate that actually tasted great, and we did a take out night (they know our voices, we don't have to give our address anymore).  One random thing I've noticed here is that t-shirts have no meaning.  It's like everyone buys their shirts from Goodwill, but they have no idea what they mean.  Our delivery guy was walking around with the names of graduates from some high school in Nevada on his shirt.  I also saw a kid in an Atlanta Braves t-shirt, and I was pretty pleased with that.  I'm not sure how the t-shirt market works, but it makes for some fascinating stuff to look at on the street.  Not much else to add here, but a good day nonetheless.

I'm thankful...
1.  for Meg Olive being born several years ago today.  Yay for Meg!  She's on my list of longest running friends.  Are we up to 14 years now?  We're crazy old, and we've got TONS of stories between us.  I like those kinds of friends.
2.  for long walks.  They're nice at home, too.  I'll be glad to have more in both places. 
3.  for Coke.  I drank one this morning, and one this afternoon.  When someone asked my why I drank so much of it, Alex spoke for me and said "She's from Atlanta.  It's what they do."  Glad I can represent.  I just told them if they thought I was addicted they should meet my mother.  

Goodnight my loves!
