I must sing the praises of my friend, Rebeca, who has gone out of her way to help me. She made a couple of phone calls, and voila, I have a volunteer patient that I interviewed tonight for my project, along with a professional videographer who is available on 24 hours' notice to tape the exam. Rebeca is the sort of person who helps her friends without being asked, no questions asked.

That's not to say that she doesn't ever have an angle. She has determined that it just won't do for me to wander around unsupervised, and she has threatened me with arranged marriage to her brother if I don't mend my isolationist ways. She doesn't want to hear it when I tell her about all of my other current priorities. She's a smart girl.

She's also stronger and faster than I am, so I live in fear of the day that she shows up for work with a burlap sack.
