Playgrounds, nurseries and lonely children

Today turned out to be a rather interesting day. We started off with the usual microbiology and laboratory techniques and continued into another lecture by our rather eloquent microbiology lecturer on bites. Who knew that human bites were the worst bites to get? The story of the panty hamster will begin to haunt me as well, who knew that hamsters were so comfortable living in playgrounds.

The patient doctor theme seems to be another one of the "fluffy" themes. It's still rather interesting and I have been told that it is important by one of the older students. I'm not sure that methods of consultation are best taught in the lecture environment, but it is a start at least. We will be learning, however, to remove nurseries while keeping playgrounds in place. Not sure how much use a playground is without children though. We will have to see. :)

I was assigned to Charlotte Maxeke for the LOTS block. I see this almost as winning the lottery (due to the fact that I can wake up slightly later).

Often people consider small talk to be the order of the day. I don't. I have something to tell you, are you listening?
