First full day at Columbus Public Health!

Started the day off at 9am at Nationwide Children's Hospital for a walking tour.  It stormed like crazy and poured rain so we toured the inside of the hospital implementing photovoice. Then we went and walked around the area of the Hospital.

Met at Columbus public health for some meetings and to get situated.

Then my preceptor bought me lunch! yum

more work at the building...

Filled up the car, errands...then rushed home to clean my face of the day and head over to May's to carpool to dinner at Bar Louie! I used my free appetizer coupon from my last visit there, it was delicious! yayy! great dinner and drinks with May, Trish, and Whit.  Then we walked around Goodale park and played on the playground.  I bruised my feet on the monkey bars, haha...sad...

Trish and I played on an insane see-saw contraption...you had to stand on it...and we had to have Whitney's help to get it balance in order to hop on.  As you see-saw...you lean forward, as if your face is going into the ground...and as it goes back...its like leaning back to lie down...very weird.  Almost scary...how is this safe for kids?!

Then there was this other contraption I was playing on...There's this turn table thing on the ground but its slanted towards you.  There is also this wheel thing way above your head you hang on to that also turns...but I think that's also slightly slanted... From what I can tell you were supposed to just hang from the top one and try to spin...I failed at that.  Then I tried holding on to that and planting my feet on the round turn table thing while Whitney pushed me and turned me around and around.  It really hurt my arms because I could barely reach the wheel with my hands...at one point Whitney walked off to check something out and I was stuck there.  There was mud all around my feet so I couldn't let go...she had to come back and hold me so I could let go and step down...otherwise I'd fall off the turn table thing because it is not flat to step on.

It was quite an interesting park! haha...

Then we had ice cream at Orange Leaf...mine was pretty much something a child would come up with.  Six flavors (self-serve) and random candies...I never know what I'd taste next as I ate as a result. Yum!

Awesome day. I am so out of shape though. I want to fully enjoy playing!

Home Thursday! and hopefully bringing soft doggie back for a few days :-D
