I have been studying since 9am this morning. I have never in my life spent so much time preparing for exams. I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface yet though. i'll just keep plugging away I guess and eventually some day I will be an actual vet.
My new thing: smoothies. I think I mentioned before that I bought a Magic Bullet blender from a student a couple weeks ago. It is fantastic. I just dump some fruit and yogurt and ice cubes into the thing, and viola! Smoothie in 30 seconds. Papaya goes well with almost everything. My current favorite is papaya and banana with mango yogurt. it's the best breakfast ever. that's it for now. i need to get back to animal nutrition.

dork tan
Our afternoon classes got cancelled today, so I took my flashcards to the beach. I learned all about how the fetal heart develops. It's some pretty intense stuff.
Unfortunately, I seem to have gotten a sunglasses tan as well. I look like a complete dork.
disclaimer: yes mom. I did wear suntan lotion. i'm not actually burnt, i just look red in this photo. love you!

hell week
Midterms are coming. Here is the schedule starting next week.
Monday:
Physiology. I think I can get an A with a little bit more work. I actually like physiology and could see myself becoming an internal medicine vet someday.
Tuesday:
Nutrition. I haven't started studying for this one yet, but I made fantastic notes in class so I hope I do ok.
Wednesday:
Histology. I have been working on this class all week. It is SO time consuming, but I will be angry if I don't get an A.
Thursday:
Day off
Friday:
Anatomy lecture and lab exams. There is just so much to learn. How I do will depend on if I study the correct things or not. I hope to do well again and keep my A.
I really hope I can pull off more good grades. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day to get all the studying in that I need. The good thing is, I have gone to the gym for the last 6 days in a row. Being physically active really makes me feel good and I haven't really felt stressed out at all. Hope I can keep it up for the next 8 days. Once exams are finished, I am going to treat myself to a massage and a pedicure at this place down by the beach. Can't wait!

bizarre items for sale
So last weekend I had to go into town to buy new shoes because my Converse got this huge rip in the side. Hoping to avoid paying "tourist prices", I decided to brave the shops in the actual city to see what was available. After some searching through many stores selling items that looked like they didn't make the cut at the dollar store, I was able to find a new pair of black converse lowtops for less than I paid for them in Canada. I think I got lucky - the last pair they had was in my exact size. I thought at first they were fake, but the labels all look exactly the same as my real pair. score.
While shopping through the junk stores, I did have the opportunity to peruse some interesting things for sale.
Here is one. Barack Obama shoes? In Grenada? Innnteresting.

eavesdropping
Yesterday, while I was waiting at the bus with a classmate, I got to listen to the funniest conversation between her and some random guy on campus. Transcript below:
Classmate: Hey Dave.
Dave: (looking confused). Oh um...hi.
Classmate: You don't remember me, do you?
Dave: um... no. Have we slept together?
Classmate: no
Dave: well then that makes this less awkward, doesn't it?
Classmate: haha yeah. Why are you carrying around a plastic lightsaber?
Dave: cause i'm awesome like that.
lol. I thought it was totally random and funny. Dave sat down for a while and talked about a time when he went hitchiking while high on all kinds of drugs. Then he went on his way.
University has all kinds of interesting people here. And by interesting, I mean crazy.
