One day left

Today takes the cake. It really does. I graduated from my course at Sammelweis this morning, and for dinner, our Hungarian friends took us to dinner at a fun Pub in Budapest. It really was the most fun I've had here. It was nice to relax and talk with our friends over dinner and drinks. We covered every topic under the sun, from movies filmed in Budapest to American poses for photos. If you had told me a few weeks ago that I would have such wonderful friends here in Budapest, I would have told you that you were crazy. It amazes me that, in such a short time, I have met such incredible people from all different studies and walks if life. I met a dressage rider who is a physiotherapy student, a paramedic, a tourism major, and two midwives. They have all been so friendly and hospitable that I felt unbelievably sad when I had to say goodbye. There were hugs all around and many promises to keep in touch, which I hope we will do. I gave Kristina strict instructions to keep me apprised on her dressage riding and I will keep her posted on my wrist's progress. It's little things like that which make me smile and make me feel confident in the relationships I've built here. Even though we have so many differences, we also have many similarities that connect us.

One interesting thing that happened was when Erno cut his finger. Once it circulated around the bar that he was hurt, Erno was surrounding by Zoli, the paramedic, and all of us nursing students trying to stop the bleeding and bandage his hand. I guess it goes to show that we're always thinking medically no matter where we are or what we are doing.

I don't have much else to say about today, because I spent a good bit of it asleep in bed due to the 'Bilal-fluenza' that is going around our little group. It's just a minor cold, but it's annoying and knocked me flat on my back for a few hours today.
Tomorrow is my last full day in Budapest and I may or may not post on my blog tomorrow. It's a rather full day and we're leaving the hostel at 4 am on Sunday. Wish me luck!!
