White Coat Ceremony

On Friday Karthik had his white coat ceremony, which has been preformed since the 1990's. This is a tradition in which the school welcomes 1st-year students as colleagues dedicated to patient care. Ethan made himself famous by crying when a man stood up to the national anthem. I did not get to see much of the ceremony because the spouses were waaaaaaay in the back corner of the room. They had the prime minister of Dominica there, who is evidently is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's youngest prime minister. Before the ceremony, I spent the day in Roseau shopping. I was not able to take pictures because I had Ethan with me. I'll take some next time. We came back with just enough time for me to change and grab a bottle for Ethan. My new friend, Jennifer was nice enough to take my bags to her house so I could make it to the ceremony in time. We got our barells in on Friday too! It is so super nice to have them! We have our own clean sheets again! Yaaaay! We also have our phone so if anyone wants to call, they can. Well I was going to write more but Ethan is waking up so I guess I'll have to continue this later!

Awwww, he is so cute! And so are you Karthik! You got a white coat! Congratulations! (just don't accept any white sheets--especially ones that come with pointy hats!) It's great to see pics. Send more, send more!
