Nursing clinicals, traveling, and lack of sleep....

The past month has been full of new adventures and learning experiences. From being lost going to a dinner party that was supposed to be a 10 minute car ride turned into an hour and 15 minute car ride with squeezing 20 people into a 15 passenger van but finally arriving to a beautiful large home with an amazing catered dinner by a member of UCU's Eunice guesthouse, to playing in my last soccer game and assisting in a goal, to having movie night, baking banana bread, taking exams and doing endless homework, to arriving in Jinga at a beautiful resort called Sergio's and having two 4 day clinicals at Jinga Regional Hospital in postpartum and labor and delivery and Amani  Baby Cottage, and now in Mbale finishing up my last week of clinicals at Cure Hospital and Mbale Regional Hospital, I find it hard to believe after all that I have done tomorrow marks my one month count down until I leave Uganda. Every day I have to remind myself of how fast time will continue to fly by and each moment needs to be reflective of my love for the people, scenery, weather, fresh fruit, , soccer, bonding between the nursing girls, and the spiritual uplift of true honest faith that the people of Uganda display. I hope to continue to blog and journal about my experiences here when free time presents itself. But for now, here are some pictures from adventures and experiences I have had over the past month...
