October 2nd

Today was our first day at the hospital. We arrived right @ 9am, although we thought we might be late. The bus is not 100% timely, but we made it. We found the pharmacy just fine and jumped right in to helping with dispensing. Every pharmacy is different, and this one was as well. Everyone is VERY nice, and Ryan and I are 2 of about 6 men in the pharmacy. There are about 25 women as pharmacy employees.

We enjoy a 30 minute break each morning (basically a tea break) at around 10:30 and then 1 hr for lunch around 1:00. We love this! The day was a little frustrating as things are sometimes done in quirky ways, but no big deal. We went to the grocery store after work and got some food to make sandwiches for lunch. After that we went home, ate dinner and went to a local pub about a 10 minute walk away. We watched "Monday Night Football"...Wigan vs Fulham, that is. (English Premiership Soccer for those who don't know). The game was great, as it ended 3-3 with 5 goals in the second half.

We walked home and I called heather. I have been able to call her alot, and I am certainly glad about that.

A long day, but a good one...
