I love fridays… it’s the end of the school week and it’s time for some volleyball! It also means that the 2-for-1 beer specials are going on, too! The funny thing about the beers here are that they aren’t regulated well… as my neighbor told me “one batch seems to more toxic than the others.” Looking back, I can’t agree more — I think between everyone sharing the beer special, since I know I can’t drink the first beer before the second beer gets warm in the freakin’ 24/7 summer heat here, I drink about the same amount every friday… some fridays, I’ll be perfectly fine while other fridays, I find it amazing that I made it home while taking others home as well! Yesterday was probably one of the funnier fridays so far… I accidently started Slapping Wars.
Sometime after our game, I lost my depth perception and ended up whacking my friend’s back leaving a huge red handprint. Somehow that turned into giving another friend symmetrical handprint’s across the chest. Each finger was distinctly outlined… hopefully pictures are stored on someone’s camera for me to steal and post later. Of course this all snowballed and there was slapping going on by multiple people. I felt like I was in elementary school again, but in that fun care-free ‘who cares if we look stupid’ way. Being an adult can be stuffy sometimes and this was a perfect way to relieve some tension from school and the tests to come… ok, “perfect” is probably not the right word to use, but it was still hilarious. There’s nothing like reverting back to childhood games to bring people closer together.
Now that it’s no longer friday afternoon, back to doing the responsible thing: spending some good quality time on campus to study some skulls & help some 1st semesters in Anatomy. So far, I’ve really enjoyed TAing Anatomy — hopefully I can keep doing it, I can already see how it would help when I had already forgotten things from that last semester.

Hey, so guess who I caught up with over the phone on Friday? Ray Hyde. He was in Alberta, Canada. Teaching some class there. We were filling each other in on what we’ve been up to and I mentioned that you were in St. Kitts and he said a student of his (from the dentistry school) is there as well. I think she is in your class – meaning, her first year as well. Of course, already, I have forgotten her name. But he described her as very tall, blonde, and model-like. Maybe when my long-term memory kicks in, I’ll be able to tell you her name. Until then, chat up all the tall blonde model-types and find out if they know Ray. How can you even talk about Ray w/o remembering borrowing the ambulance? Good times….
HAHAHA I don’t think I’ll ever forget the ambulance. Or the horse van that followed it… or the relative of Ray’s that put out the fire, lol.
The fire putter-outer was Mike and like you, I cannot forget him. Especially his Japanamation ‘hook-ups’ shirt of the nurse with the needle. Remember that?
