I ran into another one of those weird boxes... and to my surprise, this one didn't say "terrestrial magnetism" on it. It turns out that the medical school just had these educational facts on each of these box things. It almost took the fun out of finding the first one, but then I realized that I still don't know: 1) what "terrestrial magnetism" really is, and 2) what's inside the box. Ooooh.
But, another mystery is solved! Frank found Collin! More like Collin found Frank... Collin was the chaplain who found us a place to stay when we found out our hotel was booked. We've been trying to locate him for the past two weeks to thank him, and it turns out he was trying to find us to make sure we were ok! What a blessing he was indeed. :-)
Another bit o' happiness-- Ultimate worked out! There was definite American dominance but Richa, our lone Austrialian friend who made it out actually said Ultimate was a lot like their "Netball" which is basically Ultimate frisbee with a ball and not a frisbee. (It's not like basketball though.) This probably explained why she was so awesome! There's a student from Boston coming today who was requested by the other Boston students to bring an actual Ultimate disc, so maybe tomorrow we can try again. My little pink frisbee was flying all over the place! The kids in the park loved it-- they had a blast trying to take it away from us before their parents pulled them away. :-)
CHAD has been great too, it's the community outreach component of the CMC. One of the docs gave us the most incredible story of the history of the Hospital. I'm so amazed at what people are capable of accomplishing once they set their hearts to it! Next time I'll try and explain a little more of my experience at CHAD, CODES, and SHARES, but now I'm going to hit the sack. Sweet dreamin!
