Tuesday is now Tour-day

I'm not sure what's special about Tuesdays, but for some reason, relocation companies love bringing new expats in droves to our hospital for tours. It's nice, because it means I'm not out in the heat chasing people down with my clipboard only to discover they speak fluent German, and nothing else. On the other hand, I have only been here three weeks so I'm not up on all the details of the hospital (including anything about cost, specifics of getting unique prescriptions, the experience and schools attended by our pediatrician, etc) and it can get a little awkward when I get the occasional curveball question. Fortunately, most people are so happy to hear clear, unaccented English that they don't really mind when I tell them "I'll look into it" or "Let me check on that for you."

Stayed in last night and read a little bit and ended up going to sleep around 9:00... it was glorious, I actually feel well rested and managed to track down the closest gym to my place so I'm headed there after work to check out the membership cost. I'll also try and get some more pictures taken and uploaded, for those of you who don't want to scroll down for the url, it's sterny.smugmug.com.

Still no news on my AMCAS application but I should be right at the top, I've got my fingers crossed that I didn't mess anything up with my transcripts. Off to give another tour in a few minutes so I'll sign off; sleep well everybody.
