2 months from tomorrow...

... we will be back in CA! Yayayay!

So my anatomy practical was on Friday and although we don't have our grades yet I think I did okay. Not fabulous, but I always set my expectations really high - so even if I didn't get what I wanted to get, it usually means by most peoples' standards, I did just fine. I guess that attitude is what got me here and will get me to where I want to be one day, so I am perfectly fine with it :)

The Steelers are playing today but the game isn't on TV here, so I am faithfully watching evey play on NFL.com while studying. I am actually doing well playing the catch up game before yet another insane week. We have our first Neuro Lab Practical on Friday afternoon. Tomorrow my friend, Joana, and I have our weekly tutor session for first semesters - which we both really enjoy. It just sucks because they had a lot of class last week which means a lot of prep work for both of us. I have to outline 8 hours of lecture for them, and she has 6. CRAZY! It is at times like these that I am so thankful that I did all my own outlines to study last semester because I just further condense from there and try and give the firsties the most condensed, most informative info that I can in the time allotted.

Tomorrow we have a meeting about the Bahamas campus with the President of Ross, a guy that I have become fond of over many emails back and forth. I plan on being quite the "bulldog" tomorrow in getting info for everyone. I am no longer going on my trip next weekend. It may be rescheduled for later, it might not happen. I am pretty bummed, as is Colby, but we will see. Anything will be better than Dominica, although I would like to have had a chance to check it out - and on Ross's dime. :) We will see.. Housing info got postponed from last Friday until the 28th, which sucks, but hopefully there will be some good apartments.

Colby and I are doing well, counting the days, as always. I can't believe week 7 starts tomorrow -- as much as I hate it here, the time is going fast. Second semester has proved to be more hectic, like I have said before and with that, the time flies. Colby had a football game yesterday, the team lost due to a shit-tastic call but the definitely out played the 3rd semester team. Oh well - Colby got kneed in the thigh and can hardly walk. Should be a pretty bruise in the next few days. We went out on Friday and had a good time relaxing and having a few drinks :)

More to come soon!!

That's Colby with his arm in the air in the yellow shirt, he totally blocked the pass!!
