Hey, sorry long time no see. It's not that I've really been avoiding posting or anything, it's just nothing really interesting has happened since my last post. But, I'll fill you in on the little tidbits that did happen. I just took another final for my last 1 credit class of the term. It was titled Community and Preventative Medicine, I had a similar class in undergrad, and I've actually both times taking them. They kind of put my role in the health care system into perspective, and they emphasize doing the greatest good with current technologies and funding. I actually got a 102% in the class. I aced the final and went to the 1 point extra credit counseling seminar that they had. It's my first 100% on a test maybe ever, well except for maybe middle school, but nevertheless I was pretty excited. Other than that not much has happened. I stayed in and cooked dinner for Kristen on Valentine's Day, I set the table all pretty and had folded napkins and everything, but it was my one chance to act cheesy all year and still feel justified. Other than that I have 3 weeks until the start of midterms, maybe I'll do at least something moderately interesting to fill all you in on in the meantime. Until then, I'll catch you later.

Grenada's Independence

Well I wasn't able to get to the market in St. George's as planned this Saturday, but I'm serious about next Saturday. Bus rides at 9 AM on a Saturday morning just aren't as appealing as my pillow. I also didn't catch the Superbowl over the weekend. We went out for dinner for Alex's (vet student friend of ours) birthday instead. We made it back in time, but none of us have cable so the other guys went to watch it at a bar, but I didn't care about either of the teams so I just watched the funny commercials online today. Kristen and Crystal got cable today, so that was really unfortunate timing. As for school, this week will be my first set of labs and small group discussions, so soon my free time will start to disappear. Grenadian Independence Day is this Saturday, which is a waste of a perfectly good holiday since now we don't get a day off of school. There are a bunch of red, yellow, and green flags hung around town and campus, but other than that I don't really know what goes into the celebration. I hope it's a fun time though. My included picture today is of a walking stick bug which was crawling up the exterior wall of my apartment. As you can see my building is painted a bright sky blue, so I don't believe the insect fully understands the concept of camouflage. Also included is a little parade of goats that wandered underneath my balcony last week. I see them grazing a lot on the back road that I take to class in the morning. My favorite is the little brown one.
