My first two days at the clinic were, how d'you say.... shit.
Yeah, first day there was a lot of making beds and generally not understanding a thing. Which is to be expected yeah. However still, after the first day I was thinking I am God, I can pretty much do anything....
Monday night was yet ANOTHER jäger type gathering in Blunk. Lots of jägers gathered together from different dorfs and we all wandered around through the wild around swamps and stuff. When we returned there was beer and meat.
Beer.
I don't know what it is, but for some reason people like to buy me beer. However since I am God and I didnt have to be back at the clinic till 1pm the next day, I did not deny myself the pleasure of enjoying this beer buying ritual....and later on, shots.
Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots. Cheers Lil Jon, "lets get ready to get fucked up" (?).....yeah think I beat you to that.
Wont say I didnt have fun, because it was SUCH an awesome night. And even though I was hanging with a bunch of mostly older men jägers and a couple of older jäger-mens women, I would say that the company was excellent and the conversation was just as swell. Pretty sure I talked a lot, though I don't know how or what about cause my german sucks. I also managed to wear a jäger hat the whole night (almost accidently stolen), it was far too big and I probably looked like a dork but I don't give a crap yo! :D
Sooo, Monday night was a laugh. Tuesday however, was not. I would say shortly before I passed out Monday night/Tuesday morning I managed to purchase a ticket, Destination: HELL.
Tuesday was by far a day not worth reliving. I still had hope at around 11am that I would make a swift recovery and be all fine n'dandy to go to the clinic. No. When I got to the clinic I thought my head was going to fall right off my shoulders, and two hours in I thought I was going to start crying, cause I felt so sorry for myself. But, you know, I was at work experience, I figured I had to pull myself together and 'Just Do It'. I'm pretty sure I have gone to work many times badly hungover, even got my mother to drive me to work the next day cause I was pretty sure I was still intoxicated...and it seemed to be fine! How come then, how come that day, I had to run out of a patients room and unceremoniously rid myself of my entire bodily fluids!!!!????????
Yeah Theresa. Not cool. Not a very good way to make a good impression. YOU ENTIRELY STUPID PERSON.
After that.... little episode, I was sent home. I was well upset cause I wanted to stay and learn, but on the other hand I was still seeing green. So I brought myself a bunch of grapes and went to home to bed.
Well, I dont think its safe exactly to say I've learnt my lesson cause I'm a notorious repeat offender........ but, I think I've learnt my lesson.
I think I was lucky cause they didnt know that I was hungover they just thought I couldnt handle it there. Although they are nurses, surely they would be savvy to that kind of thing?....Whatever, if they do know they didnt say anything and the last two day have been really excellent!
I'll be keeping you updated, though next week in German. Laters, T
