This is Hospital de Los Ninos, where I'm working in Pediatric Infectious Disease. It is pretty much really hard. I guess I'm used to Mexicans and Peruvians. And Peruvians have a really easy accent and Mexicans I talk to all the time in MN. But the Costa Rican accent is hard for me and when they are talking really fast, I have to concentrate very hard and I still miss things. Which is hard for me because I'm kind of a perfectionist and I like to get things. I did see and write notes on 6 patients today, though. And also, I'm getting used to parents of patients coming up and asking me things. I like the ring of Doctora better than just Doctor. But on the down side, I know the answers less often than I do in English. Still, they must think I look like I know because they asked me. Hah. Fooled them. Ooh, and a native Spanish speaker asked me for directions to the bus stop on the street today! I really have no idea why she thought I would know, but the cool thing is that it was one of the appx. 4 bus stops I did know. Sweet. I gave someone directions.
I want some Chess Cake. Internet in casa has been muy esporadico this week, so this is my excuse for already being slackerish about updating my blog. Also, I have to wake up way early. I had to get to the hospital by 6 this morning and I don't really live that close and I am bus-dependent. Which means, I am tooooooo tired to do anything else but update my blog for you beautiful people on my Friday night.
