Fighting the Weather

Over the weekend, I was determined to get out and see Boston, so even with the rainy weather, I took the bus to the Boston MFA. I saw some cool art and even found some with animals!
After the museum, I took the bus again down to the Prudential, a giant mall with a nice view. I was hoping to find some fall foliage, but this was as close as I could come to it.
After a nice walk, I got myself a slice of cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory and headed back to Jamaica Plains.

On Tuesday, the sun came out when I was done at 4pm, so I decided to walk over to Jamaica Pond and eat dinner outside.
People were running and fishing around the pond.
It was very pretty and peaceful, but before I knew it, it started to rain again! I hadn't expected the rain so I had no umbrella with me and had to run back as soon as possible.

Yesterday, I decided to take the bus again to get some hot Thai food. I went to a restaurant called Chiang Bang House and got some yummy soup and a noodle dish.
Even though I was really full after dinner, I had to stop by JP Licks because people kept talking about how good their homemade ice cream was. It was really almost the best chocolate ice cream I've ever had.Again, I was able to find animals here! There were a bunch of cow paintings and they even had a cow statue.
Today, during lunch, Angell had a cookout for the employees to recognize people who had been working here for over 40 years. I think I ate a little too much. Here is my plate of food. If I had taken a picture of it after eating, it would have just been an empty plate.
This made it really hard to go back and scrub into the next surgery. I was having such a hard time keeping my eyes open. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of my rotation this week because being on Surgery, I can't really take pictures while I'm scrubbed in. I guess most people wouldn't want to see pictures of surgery anyway.
