3 posts in one day!! wow!

I suppose I'm making up for lost time, and time that I will not have in the very near future. I just wanted to get some pics up from the Powderpuff game, which we lost- like 8 to 24 or something... It was very close up to the 2nd half, and then they got 2 more touchdowns. Oh well. Here are some highlights thanks to Bela.

And then I broke my own rule and went to KFC and bought something for my half birthday... A SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM CONE!!!!!! and it was fabulous! I still wont buy their chicken, but at only 3.50 ecs, I may be having a cold treat every now and again.

figured the picture thing out

Apparently, I have to add them one at a time instead of in a bulk upload, which is what I normally did. These are from the ziplining trip and then the Bahamas weekend trip.

This first one of me in the maroon is from our balcony in Antigua. The rest are Bahamas

Less than a month!

Many apologies for not updating in a while, but as always, life here has been BUSY! This time more than usual. Last weekend was the trip to the Bahamas. I was supposed to leave Thursday morning and get back Saturday afternoon. I was cool with that, I would have Saturday night and all of Sunday to study. Well, as it turns out, the weather in the Caribbean was bad on Saturday and all of us on that trip were forced to overnight in Antigua. Sunday came and there weren't enough planes, so yet again stuck in Antigua. Basically, my trip turned into a 5 day 4 night hiatus, so I'm behind in my ideal study schedule.

We finally got back, and I was in love with the Bahamas campus. Everything was newer, the staff were awesome, and the teacher to student ratio was small and therefore ideal. I went and signed up the next day- only to receive and email on Wednesday saying that California was not sure what this new Bahamas campus was and that they were going to have to go and access it. I didn't know this, but a lot of states follow California and base which foreign medical school grads can work in there state off of what California decides to do. That being said- even if I cant work in one state, that bothers me, so to have a possible 13 others on the list of places I could never go to work was out of the question. Also- when the VP of Enrollment says flat out, "Don't Go" that sends a pretty big message. I mean, I already have an apartment here, and know whats up etc. etc., but this place does suck, and I want to be closer to home and not have to travel for 2 days to get back here.

Today is the big Powderpuff Football game. My nickname this time is Turd Ferguson, which just cracks me up. I haven't gone to many practices, and the field is a big muddy mess, so this should be interesting. All I can say is that I have my old glasses, so if nothing else, I wont break my good pair. :-)

I'll try to get some stuff up here after the game but I cant promise much- our test load in the next 3 weeks is Hellish. 10 of them to be exact, and lots of the grade yet to be determined. Really, I just want to pass. Of course I will take A's, but passing is also good.

*Also- I have been trying to post pictures but it wont let me... sorry*

PICTURES!

Only 9 tests left... haha

Second test down, now only 9 left until I get to come home. :-) This test was crappy. Thats all I feel that I want to say about it. Lets just say that I now need to somehow figure out how to work harder than I already am. Booooo this. That being said, this and next weekend should be really fun.

Tonight is the "Paint Party." Premise being- wear the white t-shirt that you bought to get in, and once at the party- throw paint at people. haha. I think its going to be pretty fun.

Tomorrow is also promising. After the market and tutoring etc. I will be going ziplining through the rain forest. ^_^ Hopefully I will get lots of cool pictures. I just dont want to drop my camera.

Other than that- my life is anything but eventful. I just want to get through this semester. I just keep reciting to myself- C's for degrees! But of course I want A's, but thats out of the question at this point in some classes... I will just continue to give it all that I've got.

Oh- next weekend- duh. I AM GOING TO THE BAHAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!! Can you tell that I'm excited about it? Because I am. The school is taking 300 people there to look at the new campus and talk to the people that are there now. I'm pretty damn stoked for the fact that there is a movie theatre there so I should be able to go see Harry Potter, and hopefully Transformers as well. Both of those are one that I would want to see in theatre.

If the Bahamas campus looks legit and looks like somewhere I could see myself, I will most likely be making another move in September, but that is still a humongous IF.

Thats pretty much it... yup.
