New beginnings?

It’s kind of nice that I get to do school all over again… I remember when I got a real job and realized how much I liked being a student or at least living the schedule of a student.
In high school, I rode and I played some sports and was in some clubs… so it’s [...]

Need sleep…

Hell Week Jr. (HW Jr.) ended last week, but I’m still trying to recover from it a week later.  Last weekend was a mess — it was our midsemester break weekend so we got Monday off, but then that just meant party-party-party up until Sunday night.  Sunday was fun; instead of a night catamaran trip we [...]

Beginning of the End

… of 2nd semester, that is.
I have a Neuroanatomy Exam at 3:10ish PM today.  Freaking out, of course.  That’s why I’m writing a post rather than studying to calm the nerves a bit…
THEN, next week my schedule looks like this:
Monday – Physio II Final
Tuesday – Immunology Final
Wednesday – Anatomy II Final
Thursday – Parasitology Final
THEN, this [...]

Tired.

I’ve been a real Debbie-downer lately but I’m just so tired these days.  So tired of school, so tired of people, so tired of sweating, so tired of this culture, so tired of this freakin’ island.  I don’t hate it, but I’m having a hard time finding ‘the beauty of another culture.’  I feel like [...]

Home Sweet Home

The flight from SKB was delayed about 35 minutes… I heard that American Airlines leaving on Saturdays is infamous for being delayed. For some reason it took FOREVER to pack luggage into the plane so we didn’t actually take off until close to 5, I think it may have been even later. It’s [...]

1 month down, 3 months to go

… before first semester is OVER.  So I lied and everyone was right, time is definitely flying, but where is it going?  Why, into my formalin-fried brain, of course!
The first round of tests aren’t completely over but I do have a moment to breathe right now.  I had my first Histo test last Monday, Anatomy [...]

Christmas Spirit

Busy day tomorrow; 2nd rabies titers for the dogs, routine vaccines for Tessa, quick-train the new employee at work, make a bazillion phone calls, get an oil change on my car, etc.
Unfortunately, this post is going to be very short.
I leave you with this…
FYI, I love my cat.
Christmas in 4 days…
St. Kitts in 7 days, [...]

Testing testing 1, 2, 3…

My new point-and-shoot camera is here!  It’s a Fuji FinePix Z20fd.  I’m still trying to figure things out on it but my main thing with digital cameras are that they take decent photos indoors in low light… since that’s been the atmosphere of my apartment living so far.  This camera isn’t the best in that [...]

16 days…

Got back from No. VA on Sunday and have been going non-stop…
So much left to do, yet not.  I have to get serious and start packing, for real.  At least I bought my luggage — ended up with TravelPro instead of Eagle Creek just because it was light, it was there and it looked like [...]

Out with Thanksgiving; In with Christmas

I’m always kind of amazed with how quickly Thanksgiving comes around then just like that we’re onto the next holiday, Christmas.  Maybe I made a bigger deal of it since I was spending it away from my family this year and I thought the holiday deserved a little longer recognition since I personally cooked for [...]
