That pretty much sums it up.
I feel so lucky to be doing this and to have such good people here.
I am still enjoying my spanish class enormously but it doesn't change much so there is not a lot to discuss. We have covered present, future, ser/estar, comparisons, time, numbers, reflexive, questions, the basics. Tomorrow we start past tense which I have seen before but only very briefly (2hours of the class I took in Farmington.)
Then I went to el Quirofano, the OR, for the afternoon. There I saw a tonsilectomy, partially saw a prostate removal laporoscopically (with a camera and only three small cuts in the patients skin), a hemorrhoid surgery, and a cesarian-section! The C-section was clearly the coolest! It was kind of crazy but totally cool to see them pull the baby out. He was super cute and healthy.
I also tried to start an IV but failed, not terribly though...better luck next time.
I am starting to get to know everyone a little better in the department and they are clearly getting to know me better. They are very patient with me and were helping me by speaking slowly and listening patiently while I formulated my answers. They were also directing me to better spots for watching the surgeries and introducing me to people who don't know me yet. I shared mate with them, tried bread with anise (yum) and I might even go dancing on Saturday. They make me feel very welcome.
Just to top it off, the weather was very mild again today and it was lovely to walk home in the fresh but not chilly air. I also discovered that if I move my seat closer to the window, I have a gorgeous view of the mountains aka the Andes. Me gustan mucho.
