Due to an unforeseen lack of internet, I'll write the cliff notes version of last week:
Spanish lessons continued as normal, though we got a new teacher named Magda. She is as sweet as Danitza was, but she's still really fun and like Danitza, only will speak in Spanish. Friday she took us out on a field trip to two free art museums featuring local artists. One of the artists (whose name I forget at the moment) had very passionate statues about protests, focusing on the native woman and Catholicism. The guy even meet John Paul II! After the artwork, we stopped by a street woman selling something like a small non-spicy tamale (if that makes sense?) for 70 centimos, which is little more than 10 cents. DELICIOUS (and no parasites).
Clinic continued as usual, I cleaned wounds and made bandages. I'm making progress speaking in Spanish with the nurses and I think they are starting to enjoy having me around. There is one nurse though, who I can't figure out if she's a student or not who definitely doesn't care to have gringa volunteers around. Unlike the other nurses she won't return greetings or converse with us at all. If there is a patient around who needs help, she won't let us volunteers help her. I have yet to really see her do actual nursing work. Ok, I'm done ranting about her, but most nurses and doctors at the clinic are really cool and will make at least a little small talk with us.
On a purely fun note, we had the last quiz night at the Muse and this time around my team won! So we each had a hard-earned free drink. Afterwards we went out for a bit and I got to bond with new housemates.
Ok, I think I'll just post this since nothing else remarkable happened during the week...
The weekend was definitely more eventful =D
