Friday Fives

Friday Fives are something that Courtney and Shelley do every Friday. It is where you think about the past week and come up with 5 things that you enjoyed and were positive things to your week. When we got to India and were wondering how we would survive the next 8 weeks we decided that we would start doing them here.

I've still been struggling lately to really enjoy India. I tend to really dwell on the things that aren't going well and how my expectations of this experience aren't being met instead of thinking about all of the things that I'm enjoying. Thinking about the 5 things that I've really enjoyed is somewhat helping me see the good in this experience when I sometimes think it was a waste of a rotation to be in India.

I would encourage you to also come up with your Friday Fives (feel free to leave them in the comment section if you'd like):

Here are my Friday Fives:

1. Being in the radiology department and getting to see ultrasound after ultrasound. Being able to actually identify the parts of the growing baby was amazing.

2. In the pharmacology department today a PhD candidate showed us her wedding pictures and explained somewhat about weddings in Indian culture.

3. Being able to purchase food that is somewhat familiar to me when I need something from home. (oreos, kit kats, and chips plus appy fizz)

4. Traveling last weekend and being able to see sites around the area as well as shopping

5. Being able to skype and chat with my parents (plus Isaac for a bit), Chris, and Carina

Here are a few random photos from India so far that I don't think I've yet posted on the blog:

We never thought we'd be excited to eat sodexo, but the KFC had this sign when we walked in
