Since my listening is parsed out, and I have to listen to a bunch at once: there's a certain increasing brutality to Petersen's sermons.

Pediatrics rotation. I love the children and little babies! Got through my second cold already too. Now I just need to get studying for that shelf exam...

I'm one week in on my pediatrics rotation, though Thursday and Friday were off. The children are so much fun. And I'm already so sick, with this horrible cold that came on in a day and has all the snotty runniness you'd expect from a kid. I'm exhausted and can't sleep.

Wednesday night: Peruvian
Thursday lunch: Turkish
Thursday dinner: Italian
Friday lunch: Vietnamese
Friday supper: South African
Saturday lunch: Afghani
Saturday supper: Greek
Sunday lunch: Indian

They put me down in Kingsport for my first rotation, which means I'll be 6 minutes from the nearest available Lutheran church instead of 50, for four weeks. I went there this morning. This church is confusing me ( Read more... )

My dad brought over black chantrelles (last post). They were good. =) And we went and picked several bags more of them. He dries them up on the 4th floor of the bookstore, and it only takes two days before they become tiny, but can be reconstituted in water in 15 minutes. They blend in with the leaves really well, but it's easier now that I can ( Read more... )
