Dooms Day

The scene could be compared to the final scene in the Departed, in which I was MarkyMark, and they were, well, everybody else in the movie. Or maybe terminator. Regardless, I woke up at the usual five am thanks to the roosters, only to find twelve lizards had invaded the homeland. I went William Wallace all over them; Grabbed a shoe and took it to the little buggers. Quick as they were, I manage to get all but one, who escaped to refuge behind the bed. I proceeded in true Roman fashion to throw the dead lizards out in front of my door as a warning to the other lizards to step off; i meant business. Then I proceeded to use a bled on pair of scrubs to stuff under the door as a barrier. And then managed to kill the last lizard- the Matt Damon of the group- the next day. Anyway, that is a normal day here. There are animals everywhere.

On another note, five french nursing students came to the hospital this week. Three (two guys, one girl) are in pediatry. They are very nice, and one of the murses speaks pretty good English. They are not with the same program I am with; they are actually employed by the hospital. But it is funny to see them struggling with the things that I hae been doing for weeks now. None of them hae placed an IV successfully, and I get to show them how to do stuff. It's fun. It makes realize how much I have been fortunate enough to learn. And, as a side story, I went out with them after work to show them the town, and one noticed I carried a knife. He said, "If a Togan man came to me and said give me your money, I would just hand it over. Im scared of them." One, I am the biggest person in this ccountry I think. I have about six inhes on any man here, and all of the men are skinny (The women are not. They are-as my predomestic violence boy Chris Brown would say- thick as can be. I guess it is cultural). Two, that statement perfectly shows why he is French, and I am American. Je pas voudrais partier, mais amerais America beaucoup.

Anyway, I got to spend thursday afternoon at the orphanage which is in a nearby village, and that was probably the most fun I hae had yet; I will post about it next time, as I also want to post about what should be one of the coolest weekends ever, but I am afraid to get my hopes up because Rihard always lets me down.
