November 12 No longer do I have to feel the questions/comments, "Oh, you graduated.... What are you doing now? You're not going back to school? Really?" You know why? Because my life is awesome. I venture to say that my fellow, same aged peers are quite jealous of the life I lead. While they were in class, studying, testing (albeit for a fantastic degree and a lovely career) this weekend I jumped the highest bungee in the world (216 m) and walked/pe...

Well, today was easily the best day of my life. I rode an ostrich. I stood on ostrich eggs. I got bitten by an ostrich and a "neck massage." Please tell me how my day could get any better? I don't even need to think I need to elaborate on this experience. I RODE AN OSTRICH. We also went to a "wildlife ranch," which was basically just a zoo. It was okay.

I slathered sunscreen on my face like a million times because I woke up this morning and STILL look like Rudolph. Ugh. It'...

So last night I was introduced to Flames. Flames is a bar where all of the interns go on Friday night. You know, the night we don't have a 10:30 curfew. Like I mentioned before, we had a braai for dinner. I think I like good ole American cookouts better but it wasn't bad. We then enjoyed happy hour at the bar at the hotel and then we were off to Flames. It was like deja vu. I never thought I would find another place like Roadrunners in Morehead, but, ...
