Hi all!
Just wanted to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday today. Although I had class from 8-12 and dissection from 1-3:30 (should have been later but my lab buddies let me sneak out earlier!) I still managed to have an amazing day. I do enjoy school down here and we had a really good dissection where I felt like we actually did LEARN a lot, so it was fun. We did the posterior thigh and the popliteal fossa (basically, the back of your knee, a diamond shaped area that contains lots of nerves, arteries and veins). We have switched from the arm to the leg, and although there are lots of similaries in structure, obviously the leg is much larger so its a lot easier to identify things because things like your sciatic nerve (which isn't even actually a nerve) is the size of a Cuban cigar :) - moral of the story - school is going really well. I took the last two days off which I will pay for the rest of this week and this weekend but Colby leaves next Wednesday (so sad!) and so I will have plenty of extra time on my hands.
Back to my birthday, for anyone who sent me something (I love you all and you are by far the best people in the world) I haven't received anything although I got an email that the package my mom sent me two Saturdays ago is here for pick up so HOPEFULLY I will have loose mail to go with it and tomorrow will be a good one.
Friday night Colbs threw me birthday fully equipped with rum punch and a homemade red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting (from SCRATCH!) that was AMAZING. That was really fun and I will add pics to show you who was there are all that. Here is a picture of me and all the girls and Colby and all the boys and me blowing out my 23 candles and everyone singing me happy birthday!
The picture at the top is of us tonight and the one of the restaurant is in Iguana Cafe, where Colby took me for dinner tonight. We both had the lobster and rum punch drinks. It was DELICIOUS and we were the only ones there so it was quite romantic. I loved every second of it. To top it off, I accidentally found out what Colby got me for my birthday which is AMAZING but its in the States still and will be coming back with him July 23rd so you can all see it then :) muahahaha! SO RAD!
All in all, a very good birthday .. although there are a few people that didn't call that I am a little bummed out about but .. oh well, what can you do?
Hope you are all doing well and write us soon, things are good on our end! :)
