These days have been loooonnnggg. At the hospital
all day and then 3 hours of Spanish class with homework is very fun, but tiring.
I can't remember a time at home were I regularly went to bed at 8pm. Yrela, my
Spanish teacher, is very sweet and my grammar is picking up. She asks for a topic
of interest to discuss with each class. We have gone through the geography and
culture of Nicaragua, some newspapers, the destruction of Leon and other things
in just a few short days, She is such a vibrant and delightful person who I
will miss when I leave here.

Day 2 and 3 of Heodra were very interesting in
postpartum and high risk inpatient. Rotating through a different group of
residents in a different area has been very challenging with breaking through a
familiarity, language and cultural barrier compounded by the amount of work they
have every day. I have made very good friends with the lactation nurses, who are
actually part of the pediatric department. They are amazing with the patients,
patient and spend a lot of time with the family as well.
