Our new life with me as a 2nd semester.

Sorry sorry, I know I have been kind of a slacker in the posting department for the last few weeks, but like I said, over break, there was nothing less I wanted to do than type/post/be sitting at my computer. Well, I am officially 3 days back into it and so I am going to be better at updates.

Today we had our 3rd day of lecture and so far we have started neuroscience, one day of anatomy and lots of biochem. Neuro is supposed to be the doozie this semester, so I am doing my best to keep on top of everything. I am having trouble getting back into the swing of things - I definitely work better under pressure and we haven't done anything too tough yet - so I am working my way back into it. I had a friend on Monday say, "It is like a band-aid, I am just ripping it off, and going to start studying today." I didn't study Monday but today I did and I am right now. It will come back to me soon, I am sure (or at least, I hope).

Poor Colby is a little bored because all the med students are back to it. He is doing his classes online though, working about 4 days a week and is going to play football with the 2nd semester intramural team. Their first practice is today, I am not sure when games actually start though. There are 6 teams total (semesters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and "free agents") on campus, and the games go until after Mini 2, if I remember correctly. It will definitely make it more fun for me to watch, although nerve wracking is probably a better term. The last thing anyone (especially me) wants is for an injury down here - because most mean flying to a different island or home for care - and that is the last thing I need.

Life other than that is good, Mom's bday is tomorrow if anyone wants to call her! I mailed her present from here so lord only knows how long it will take.. this mailing from Dominica thing seems a little sketchy. It has been really hot here, and not too rainy the last few days - we aren't in any hurricane paths as of now.

For all of you who Colby told to come read "our blog" - let me just make a note: Colby has never ever posted a thing and I don't even know when the last time he saw this webpage was. hahahahah =) enjoy, nontheless!

Much love from the Rock.
