So I'm doing an ethnographic study in Hospimed, a private hospital in Tegicigalpa for class. My final presentation topic is a compare and contrast between public and private hospitals here in Honduras, so Tuesday and Wednesday I visited a public hospital. So our surprise our contact worked in the la sala de maternidad and we watched a woman give birth. It was quite the experience. Definitely something I don't really ever want to see again till my own child, and even then maybe not haha. The main difference here is that there is little to no privacy for the patients. I'm going to save you all of the details though. The following day we went to the room where the newborns were. Much cuter babies the day after haha.
This was an incredibly busy week full of homework, papers, and presentations. On friday I had a group presentation on Latin American literature that lasted an hour and a half. The same day our final paper for the class was due (24 pages) I have never had to write such a ridiculous paper in my entire life. It had an index, glossary, appendices, i mean really stuff that were unnecessary. Definitely my least favorite class. Only like 8 more days of class left! and like 20 more pages to write... and a few tests.
Yesterday to celebrate being done with our presentation, i took a fantastic nap and we went to the movies. We figured there would be a huge line for Harry Potter so we left super early. To our surprise less than half the theater was full the day the movie came out. As for today, I am going to hopefully pound out a paper or 2 before tomorrow so that life is easier next week.
