Today I fell in love.. his name is Kohala, and he is a gorgeous stallion who took me on a journey to see the Kohala mountains and the sea beyond.
Given that I will no longer be working for my company starting in February I will have free time to dedicate to other things. I would love to find some way of coming to the ranch and spending time with horses. If shoveling manure is the price of getting a chance to work with them, then so be it :)
The School needs more Patients...
Most-likely I will also dedicate some time to work with the school's administration on raising the profile of our college through creating a brand for the college and raising awareness of the clinical services within the community if the school will welcome such an idea and have me work with the staff on doing so.
There are many people who have lived in this small town all their lives and still have no idea that there's a Chinese Medical college here. The school has been complaining of a low number of patients in the teaching clinic, and unfortunately has not had the staff to dedicate time to raising the school's profile. Part of the problem is that the school is somewhat afraid of its own potential success in so far as the possibility of the school having to relocate given growth and the lack of space and money to rent a larger space in Kamuela.
More on that subject will be said another time as I think over these fledgling thoughts.
Today part of our class got the chance to go riding together at a ranch where one of our classmates, Amber, works. My full flickr album from the trip can be found here.
I've included a few of my favorites. Alas, no pictures of Kohala.
