Final day of the healthcare class.

On the final day of the healthcare class, our one (older) (African) instructor told us all that we had passed, and her and the other instructor passed out practice state exams that we could work on, while they called us up individually to finish the paperwork showing that we'd put in the required number of hours and attained sufficient skills. "And then you can go," she said, "And get leet" ('lit'). "I'm going to go in my uniform!", the one (pink-haired) girl with the LINK card was like, and our one (African) instructor just laughed uproariously at that, it must have struck her so funny. . . . (Years ago, an acquaintance who did Peace Corps in Senegal told me to be prepared for different senses of humor before my trip to West Africa, and I've found that that observation is true, and for a broader region as well... It's not like the sense of humor is necessarily different, but the level of response to the same bit of humor can be wildly varying.)
