So I just thought that I would update since I haven't in a while. I'm not actually sure if I have even updated since I moved in to my new place. If you haven't seen the pictures of my apartment they are on facebook!
Basically, my apartment has been amazing, except for some crazy things that have happened in the last week or two. Within the span of these 14 days, Ben and I have lost electricity twice, cable and internet twice or three times, and water once. The water was gone for a day. The cable and internet was gone for a day and a half. The electricity was gone for a half of a day. AND they were all gone at separate times! It was so crazy, but it had nothing at all to do with our apartment itself, just really random things (thunderstorms, water main breaks, construction, etc.) However, the electricity outage is the most exciting because I was almost a part of it. I was walking to work last week and I walked underneath an electric pole right outside our apartment and it blew up! There were sparks and a HUGE explosion noise. A man was underneath it, but he was okay. I have no idea why this happened, but it was quite crazy. As of now, all of our utilities have been figured out (*knock on wood*); we have cable, internet, electricity, air-conditioning, and water all at once! :)
My job is also going well. My job puts the new recruits in the call center as the first stop on their rotation through the practice. Let me tell you, I get some crazy questions called in. For example, one woman called in because her neighbor's puppy has kennel cough, and she wanted to know if she could carry the kennel cough germs to her best friend's sister's newborn baby. (I asked Leah if she knew anything about this later in the day, but we just told the woman to either call a vet or a pediatrician! We are OB/GYN!) Another woman was so paranoid that she had HIV, which is understandable if you have been exposed. However, the only thing she did was borrow her friend's earrings, and the friend didn't have HIV nor was the friend ever exposed to it as far as she knew! (However, I think this woman has anxiety which causes her to fret over such things)
Next week I start rotation in the lab where I will be doing mostly paperwork at first. Then, I think I will be testing urine for UTIs eventually. How exciting! ahha.
Anyways, I miss you all! Come to DC whenever! We have one futon and negligible floor space for sleeping-bags. (and there is always the bath tub!)

Aren't people kooky?
In fact, I don't think I ever used that word until I worked in a doctor's office. It's just the only way to describe those people.
That's insane. I'm so glad you narrowly avoided the electrical explosion though! Also yay for having full power for the moment *knocking on wood in 2 sets of 3 of course*
oh my goodness. well when i was in argentina we were without power and light too one day. i hope things are going smoothly now!
