Week one wrapped up nicely. Still learning my way around the hospital and the city. The east and west wings of the hospital are named for their relationship to the Ashley River....and since I haven't quite gotten the geography of this place down yet I find myself doing a 360 each time I get off the elevators to get oriented! My CI is the team leader of this dept. so she often has to go to meetings with the PT manager and such over in the main hospital. Thus my job is to bounce between the other PTs over here til she gets back. It's making me have to learn my own way around real quick!
My first weekend in Charleston was pretty fun. Walked around on King St some more, which is even more crowded on the weekends, but the fact that about a thousand new College of Charleston students and their families were here to move in made it even more congested. There was also a lot going on at the Marion Square, which I didn't go to see--no reason really, just didn't know so didn't go--but turns out they have a farmer's market every Sunday right down there. I will go check it out next Sunday, I'm sure they have plenty of goodies I'd be interested in! Also went to scout out Folly Beach. Wasn't very far at all, so that's great. So obviously don't know my way around there, and didn't see "public beach" signs, but saw a small walkway and did what those around me did....parked on the street and walked! Didn't get towed or a ticket, so guess it was ok. It is a pretty, pretty beach. Clean. Water wasn't so clear, though, as I had expected. Maybe it's not always this way. Did see a few dolphins, which is always a delight! The coast line was long so after about 30-45mins of walkin it was time to turn around. I'll take my camera out next time. I always get hesitant to take it on the beaches, sand can really wreak havoc on a digital camera.
Still tons of sight seeing to do, though, and my camera will be there all along the way. Hopefully weather will hold up. Apparently it is hurricane season. Yea just found out this news late last week.....sounds like a good piece of information one should know before signing on for 4 months! I just told my CI that if there was a warning that I would be the first to get the heck out of Dodge! She could call me when the coast was clear, literally. I haven't the slightest clue how to prepare for a huricane! Fortunately have never been in the situation to remotely experience one.
