It's back to the real world soon!

I have been playing for so long, I may have forgotten how to work! I did actually "work" all last week but it was classroom/computer stuff, not patient care. It was essentially stress free and so I feel like I've been on vacation. Unfortunately, I have to start on the unit Thursday so playtime is coming to an end. I feel like I've made good use of the time I've had and I thought I'd share a little of that with you! First of all - I've spent most of my free time with Lucas and Megan - they are superb entertainment! We have gone biking (after a five hour buying expedition), hiking which included wading a nice little creek and wandering some woods, done lots of walking, and made my first visit to DC which included several monuments and museums as well as my first subway ride (known as the Metro). We have visited two area churches which sparked good debates about what we believe is appropriate for church as well as what purpose Sunday morning Worship should serve. We've spent lots of time just chatting - Megan and I are still getting to know each other. She is Lucas's roommate and we just met when we arrived here in VA. I think we will be great friends!!

This is obviously me in front of the Lincoln memorial! Pay no attention to the weirdo in the white shirt. He doesn't belong to us!!

We have many more adventures planned, hopefully our days off will coincide so that we can actually experience them!!!
