the best day ever...EVER!!!!

Today has definitely been a day of great adventures and strange occurrences. I have good news and bad news. I'll share the bad news first, although it is bad, it is slightly humorous and will leave a good taste in your mouth to receive the good news.

Bad news: A kid in my class got a bead stuck in his nose! He was obviously embarrassed about it because it took him awhile to actually tell me what was wrong. He whimpered a little while he was on his cot, then got up and sat at a table not answering my question about what was wrong. He then proceeded to cry and tell me that his nose hurt. I didn't know what he meant so I took a look and a small clear bead was stuck in his nostril. I had to take him outside and get him to blow it out. After a few minutes, we were able to retrieve the small object. His nose will probably be sore for awhile today.

Good news: 1) I do not have tuberculosis. Thank you VA hospital for telling me that. 2.) I got paid. Twice. 3.) I got to share all my exciting news with my therapist who helped me through a really hard time this past year. That was a blast! 4.) The weather was beautiful. Spring is almost here.

Now for a quick update, I've got three appointments at the VA during my spring break. I'm still trying to find a dentist (wisdom teeth extraction, crown, fillings) that will do inexpensive work for people who don't have insurance (or even free for Peace Corps peeps). If anybody knows of a dentist or a clinic let me know, please and thank you. I'm so glad that this process has been moving so quickly...I'm excited to get through this month of medical stuff and start waiting for my official invitation.
