what a change....

so....this past weekend i went to samana. it was really nice to get to see some of the people i knew from the year before. i also got to go to the beach twice. there was a fight for what house i was going to stay in...oh and it was wonderful to see the new bathroom in one of the homes.

last night milagros and i dyed easter eggs for the first time. i think she really enjoyed herself. i gave them to the people that run the colmado, hector, and rosa. the people in the colmado looked at me like i was crazy, and i had to get milagros to explain things for them.

today i officially started in la romana. this morning i shadowed in the clinic. my "rotation" hasn't quite been set up yet because this week is easter, so things are pretty much shut down half of the week. easter's a big deal around here.

today i moved into a new living situation which i'll be in for the first two weeks of my rotation in order to get to know this area/the students here. it's beautiful here. i'm in the country and the house i'm staying in is nice. we even have a hot water shower and wireless! it's very quiet because there's really only me and one other girl here. other than that i won't see people except for the girl taht cooks breakfast for us except at work. this i don't know how long i could do, but i think it will be good for me for a couple of weeks....a good way to relax.
