I had to wait a bit for the computer when we got back from the hospital, but we are leaving in 10 minutes for dinner so this is a quick update and I will post again when I get back if I'm not completely dead.
SO.
We got to sleep in today because we didn't go to the hospital with the rest of the team since we went to an orphanage today. I'll writa more about that later.. it was an interesting expereince.
We got to go around Jordan for a bit and it was AMAZING. Likle.. I can't wait to post pictuers of how spectacular it is. I'm thinking about studying abroad or something. I want to come back,,. and I will.
More patients got surgery today that I fell in love with! Yay!!!! Ah I am so happy. I was so suprised at how quickly the surgeries go. Seriously, it's 40-45 minutes. AHHHHHHHh life changing.
Just a few hints that I will post on OSCentral when I get home include
Bring pictures of your family and friends to show people. I wouyld laminate them in a little book or something. I wish I had something that I could show people and patients like look- I have nieces that are about the same age.. these are my friends, my family.. I wish I had done that.
Make contact cards with your name and email and stuff on it- I want to find all my new friends on facebook aned stuff and I've just had to write it and give it out. Make cards. You have time.
Don't hesitiate. Take Initiative.
Thjat is the biggest hint I can give to you. Don't wait for the next time you see someone on the team to get comfortable with them and get to know them. I wont see my new amazing friends for a longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time. So take advantage of the time you have and don't have regrets. Everyone there is there for the same reason and they are amazing. So don't hesitate. You also need to be albe to take a lot of initiative and just go up and start something with someone. Don't let ANYONE just sit there and watch. Even the stubborn ones.
The number one thing I can tell you: A smile fixes everything.
I will fill you in on more stuff when I get back hopefully. Going to dinner with my family.
Love you love you love you.!!!!!!1
