A Picnic in the Park July 19, 2013

A favorite activity for PC TECH students is a summertime picnic in Central Park.  The large field known as the Sheep Meadow was actually a place for sheep to graze before the Park was established a century and a half ago.

Today was probably the hottest and most humid day so far this summer, yet a number of our students wanted to play volleyball, dodge ball, and soccer.  Others relaxed on the lawn and chatted while munching on snacks.  With plenty of water to drink, everyone had a good time.

Several students have been writing about experiences with medical care.  Among these compositions, we have an interesting account from Yuki:

            Last year, I went to a dentist because of a toothache.   When I was in Japan, I went to the dentist to treat all my teeth, so I was relieved.  However, when I came back to New York, suddenly a felt something hurt [a] tooth, but I didn’t want to believe it.  I had already had it fixed, so I thought I didn’t need to worry about it.  But my tooth hurt more day by day and I had a headache too.  I couldn’t stand it and finally I went to [an American] dentist.  The doctor charged me $1300!  I couldn’t afford it.  If I pay that money, I can also buy an airplane ticket to return to Japan.  It’s the same price!
