So Brian, Tim and Brooke have done a great job in expressing the feelings that we had today at our first day on the wards. There really is no reason to rehash the things that I thought about it earlier, so I will just present some musings and casual observations of the CIT2 group: (FYI this is supposed to be humorous…)
– Tim has been fervently trying to become friends with the cow-next-to-the-hostel (whom I call Betsy). Unfortunately Betsy wants nothing to do with Tim. Poor Tim….
– I have succumbed to peer pressure and now will be joining the group in trying to become more South Indian, that makes the total tally 3 men with a ‘stache. We now need to work on Brian who keeps telling us that his Asian genes only allow him to grow 7 hairs randomly on his face. More to follow on this front…
– It really only takes 50 mg of Benadryl to take down the giant we refer to as Brooke. It also makes her itch free We will keep this in mind for later times…
– Speaking of Brooke, there seems to be a fairly large following of people that are intrigued by her height. I think that we have a great entrepreneurial opportunity in charging people 5 rupees to meet Brooke and 10 rupees for a picture. Gopal would like me to point out that this is not a CIT2 sanctioned activity
– We are now on Day 4 of malaria watch. So far, most of us have >15 mosquito bites yet there are no fevers. We will continue to update you on malaria-watch ’08. This means that the malaria medication might be working and the doxycycline is making us acne free. We win on both accounts really…
– Gopal brought up an interesting notion yesterday. He wanted to know what would be our “closer music” if we were going to close the 9th inning. He was less than enthused to hear that mine would be Bon Jovi’s “Living On A Prayer”. I’m not quite sure what made him unhappy about that, perhaps the fact that it is from a hairband (when I have none) or because of the lack of confidence that I have (hence the song)
– Indeed, coffee.com has become the CIT2 sanctioned coffeeshop. One way or another we will make it there perhaps daily….
– This is day 2 of the bus rides. Today was not as good as yesterday as there were roughly 200 people on the bus that was meant for perhaps 50. We are not sure that we will be taking the bus again however it would make coming to coffee.com particularly tough.
– Last night we learned and played a rousing game of euchre. We think that after consulting wikipedia for the correct rules of the game that we actually played it right….
