Four Weeks!

Another week has flown by since my last post. I've been pretty much slaving away all week working on my IRB application for the alcohol study... in my air-conditioned room. Okay, fine, it's not that bad. In fact I really enjoy it here.

IRB application hasn't been the easiest thing, but it's been quite interesting and exciting figuring out how to do the study. You pretty much have to think about everything that could go wrong, and plan ahead. Everyone has different experiences and ideas, so my protocol seems to change every time I talk to somebody. I'll tell you more about what the study is about once I submit the application (and know exactly what I'm doing). It's due this weekend, so I'd better get back to work!

In the meantime, here's an interesting sign I found at the hospital:


And here's a guard who keeps tender coconuts out of the hospital.
