Another Week

It's Saturday again...crazy how fast time seems to fly here! On Monday, we start week 11 of classes. I have been here for almost 3 months and I truly cannot believe it. TIme really goes by ridiculously fast here which makes being away from home a little easier as it hardly seems like I have really been gone for that amount of time. Hopefully the rest of my semesters on the island go by as fast so I can be back in the states for good!
I am currently studying in a building called the barn which is right next to where I live and trying not to freeze to death in here. You would never believe you were on a tropical island being in here, I literally have jeans and a sweatshirt on and am completely frozen! I may have to invest in a Snuggie when I am home to bring down here! Haha
I went out with some friends last night after we were done doing some studying in the anatomy lab and had the other local Caribbean beer that they have on the island called Carib. For someone who doesn't drink beer, it was decent and only cost 7EC which is a little more than $2.50US...can't beat that.

Thats all for now...Love and miss you all!!! Enjoy this picture taken about a month or so ago of the waves...

Here are the pictures I tried to put up yesterday! Enjoy

Hey

Hello All!!!

Sorry it has been so long but I have been super busy with all my studying. Well, I just took my second test this past Monday and did really well...I got 3 A's and a B. I did not do so well in anatomy but I still have a practical, another test, and a final to bring up my scores so I am not too worried about it, I just need to make sure I study it a little more efficiently. I went to the beach on Tuesday as we didn't have a long day of classes and it was great just to be able to relax a little and not have tons of stuff to study.

Today, a few friends and I took the bus down to Roseau, the capital. It was pretty cool there. There was a cruise ship that was docked so there were tourists everywhere! They all assumed we were on the cruise ship as well so we kept getting bombarded by people wanting to take us on island tours. We did a little souvenir shopping and then went and looked around at the market. There wasn't a ton of stuff there since it was later in the day but it was still pretty cool to see. While we were there, we stopped by this guys truck that was filled with coconuts. He chopped the tops off of them right in front of you and then gave you a straw so you could drink the coconut water. I decided to get one since I have never had coconut water before and it was interesting. I was surprised because it did not at all taste like coconut. It was different and probably not something I'd drink again but it was fun to try it! We wandered around Roseau for a bit longer and went to Astaphan's which is a department store/grocery store and then IGA which is a big grocery store. It was so crazy seeing a store that big after being at school for 2.5 months; all of the stores here are so small!! Another thing that was a little weird was when we were souvenir shopping; all of the prices that were quoted were in US dollars and my friend even got change back in USD. Though we did get a few deals because we paid in EC dollars and not USD so that was nice.

In the next 5 weeks, I have another Mini, a histology practical, an anatomy lab practical, a DPS practical, and a final so I will be in study mode so I can do really well on all of them! I come home in 39 days and I am so excited! I already have a list of foods I want to eat and things I want to do!

That's all for now! I was going to post some pictures but they don't seem to want to upload tonight so I will try and post them tomorrow!

Love and miss you all and I can't wait to be home in 39 days!!!!!
