First day - first impression

I woke up around 4:45 am, got ready and left to first take the railway then later the subway heading up North towards the hospital. Unfortunately things didn't turn out as expected. I didn't get my day Day travel card on time and one thing led to another - I missed my train.
With a little help from my dear friend I finally managed to call the ward informing them that I'll be delayed due to i missed the first train. I arrived at the ward around 7:20 am, which is 20 minutes late. I was quickly introduced to the ward staffs and immediately I had to get into the daily routine. My mentor quickly introduced me to the patients I was to observe and this I did throughout my shift. I will be doing the short shift, which is from 7-15 (it is mandatory that we spend at least 30 hours at the clinic weekly).

Note to myself: never come late and especially not on your first day. Bad first day impression.. Hopefully it won't happen again!
