From the Kitchen to the Hospital: I AM BACK

Last Friday I was feeling a little homesick after my first week away from home. I thought that the best solution to such feeling was to attempt to cook some homemade rice, beans, and chicken (Dominican Republic’s most popular dish).

I headed to the supermarket and bought all the ingredients I needed. Soon I was back to my apartment and in the kitchen cutting a bell pepper for the beans. Next, I started to cut the onions—and a minute later—I accidentally cut the bottom side of my thumb.

I first thought that it was a small cut, but the amount of blood on the floor and all over the kitchen proved me wrong.

That night, with the help of my Resident Assistant (RA), I made it to the hospital. After six hours at the Emergency room, I returned home with four stitches. I feel much better now and ready to come back to the blogging world. As you may understand, typing was quite difficult with a fresh cut.

I am still trying to figure out what are the lessons behind this incident:

A.) Do not cook on a Friday night…it ruins your weekend

B.) Learn how to cut an onion

The important thing is that I am back, buying food at the cafeteria, looking forward to share interesting thoughts with all my readers, and most importanly, enjoying life minute by minute.
