I'm determined to get better at this blogging, at least to let you get a peek into my life here. Yesterday was a pretty busy day, but fun! Even though I finished my internship at the hospital (and now am interning at a local health center in this poor, poor little area called Peñalolén), one of the doctors invited me to come every Friday to see surgeries. So yesterday I got to watch an amputation of a diabetic leg and a fistula of an artery and vein through a tiny, tiny cut near the wrist (basically they took an artery and vein and sutured them together because the pt had renal dysfunctions...I'm still a bit confused on this, will need to google.) After seeing two surgeries in a row, I went home to have some lunch with the family, then went rock climbing. After that I went straight to doing the English conversation sessions at the library. However this was the first time I, by myself (!), led the group, so I invited one of my chilean friends named Hugo to go with me to help me out. I'm so glad he came because he would purposefully ask me "English" questions and make funny jokes to help me out (haha). Anyway, after that, because Hugo absolutely loves the Beatles, he invited me to a Chilean Beatles Concert Festival (Chileans ABSOLUTELY love the Beatles). It was interesting because I've gone to Abbey Road on the River in Louisville and seen all these cover bands of the Beatles, but never have I ever seen Chilean cover bands of the Beatles. It was great! It was also fun singing IN ENGLISH with all the Chileans.
All right, must get back to doing a bit of studying.... mid term tests on Monday with papers :(
chao! Angelita
