Twice late, Or Once loved

Hello Dear Readers,
I know its been Almost a month since I last posted anything, and I am very sorry about this Egregious lapse on my part. It will probable happen again because, and I am going to share a secret with you... I ran out of things to write about on this blog around the time I was thinking of starting it. So I have been trying to think of "new" topics to write about, unfortunately not that meany things are happening this term, I get up go to class, go to lab in the afternoon, and I study some, get grocery, pay rent, sleep some, hang out with friends and friend people. Its all very non write-able well I suppose that I just wrote about it but you see how dull that was.
Now if you will indulge me once more I will let you know that I currently plan to keep this blog going, however I am not sure when the next post will be, I know that I have some tentative vet stuff plans this summer that I will probable write about and up load during the summer.
On to the real blog post
 When I started this blog the idea was to show someone who was thinking about going to vet school in the Caribbean what it was like, Basically I was being ever so bold as to think that I could though inexcusably bad grammar help someone out, In all honesty I never figured that anyone would read it. but then all of you showed up ever week to read what turned into the depressed mumbling's of a failing Vet student, which is when a crazy thing happened my blog actually helped a vet student, it helped me, I commented to writing whatever I felt. Be that joy, fear, or sadness I write only what I feel, which made it a little awkward when you dear reader broke through the shield of words and supported me in person, even if by just checking on how I was doing in passing, it meant and means so much to me that you have all helped me get away with vet school and I know that I still have 2 years of school 1 more in Grenada, but I don't feel like I am drowning anymore I feel like I can see the distant shore and I might be moving slowly but I AM MOVING, which Is thanks to you Dear Readers,
I hope that my struggles have been able to help you in some small way. TTFN

Term 4 Or, The Ocean is like a Big River

Hello, Dear Readers
another term started last week for me, and the craziest thing is that I am not super stressed Yet. I am sure that before long I will be back to normal (read extremely high) levels of stress will be back, but for now things are going smooth. I have settled in to my new apartment, I am still getting back into the swing of early morning classes/writing, so this will be a short post.
Now as I sit in my hammock looking out at a inlet of a bay, it reminds me of the porch I would sit on in undergrad only then it was the Cumberland river and barges, now its the Caribbean Sea and sailboats/ships. Its amazing that my mind made a 2,324.62 mi connection (I looked it up) but I am sure that if I asked around almost everyone would have something that reminded them of a simpler time in there life. but then again I might just be a bit odd, but I can't be the only person who sits on their porch and listens to sad bluegrass and folk music but maybe that's just the Tennessee in me...
TTFN
P.S. for all the people who read this in the states it's 80 degrees F as I write this.

 

What To Write Or, There is a group for that.

Hello Dear Readers,
I don't think that in all my time at school, I have ever truly be afflicted with a writing block. But after the last two post being sub par, plus the skipped week, and now I still have nothing to write about. In some ways this is because I am trying very hard not to get kicked out of vet school, in other ways it is because every 5 seconds something studying, assignments, study buddy, class, lab, food, sleep, and the all consuming metric ton of groups that term 3 forces you to schedule times to meet with around an already bonkers schedule. Since the groups are all randomly assigned no one has the same lab times, which then means that Thursday mornings (which have been left open for the research group) are absurdly busy with running around trying to meet with groups, advisers, professors, other groups, then class starts at 1:30 so it's a very limited window that demands my attention. It's gotten to the point where I will turn my phone off so that I can study without getting immediately desecrated by the latest group trying to figure out a time to meet (Thursday at 9?) or figuring out what the next step in the group project is. Do not take this the wrong way I am in some of the best groups of people, groups where everyone is trying to pull there own wight and help anyone is struggling, which is also what I try to do in the rare instant that I might hold some small nugget of knowledge or understanding that has escaped one of my classmates, anyway hopefully I will figure out some great secret of the universe to share with you in two weeks TTFN my friends.

Finaly Finals, Or Three More Weeks

Hello Dear readers, Finals start next Monday so this will be my last post this year, and for this post I figured I would talk about you the reader.

You see with out you no one would ever read this and while that probable would not be sad per say, (given my writing skill), It would make me a lot less motivated to write this fun little blog post.
For me this blog is mostly therapeutic, I really do enjoy writing about whatever is currently going on around here, and I am glad that you like to read it.
It's also grown somehow see that most of my post from last term averaged 50 views and now it's closer to 150 (which might not seem like much but I think it's cool). So you won't here from me till next term which as of today might as well be in two months, and assuming I do well on my finals (I am nerves but not as bad as midterms) I am really trying heard to make sure I can pass all my classes and finally move on to term two. Going along with that thought I would like to talk about my decel term in broad strokes for just a minute, this term has been weird a year has gone by and I have been standing still watching everyone moving around me, I can not even talk to them since I have to hold my breath while I wait to see if I get to move forward again or if i will fall back into a thick fog never to be seen again.
It's been a stressful year for me but hopefully, my Dear Readers though the grace of god, and hard work I will be able to talk to you again next term. Thanks for reading TTFN.

     

Break Study Or Absent Time

Hello Dear Readers, let me start by saying that I am sorry that this post is a day late, I got very motivated to study yesterday and you need to strike when the irons hot.
So lets talk studying, for the most part it sucks (which is probably why I did so little before vet school), now that annotation is actually wrong I did lots of studying before vet school just not school related studying. Now if you haven't come to realize that you study a lot more then you think then this might be a shock, but if you've ever read a Wikipedia page you where studying (not the most reliable source), I have spent hours on end scouring the internet looking at very specific car parts.
However when you change that from non work to work all of a sudden studying is the worst thing ever, Why and for the purpose of this blog it is more of why do not like to study the thing that you want to do for the rest of your life, (ouch that question hurts a bit) now I could go on to talk about how not every subject apples to what specific part of vet work I want to do, however that's just a lazy answer as if you take the time to connect the dots every class in vet school can be related to any area of interest. Now not every class will be fun but at the lest having a positive attitude will help you study, take for example the Billion point study game that I started with one of my friends yesterday, the object is to ask a question of the other player for now that question can be in histo, anatomy, or physio, so say I  was asked a histo question then if I answered that question I would get +1 point however if I expand my answer to included anatomy then I get +2 points and if I add physio to my answer I get another +3 points, so the max points achievable is 6 the goal is to get 1 Billion points.

To rap up this post I want to talk just for a sec about time on a island, you see you all probably think that island time means taking things slow, which is really not true sure things don't open really early or stay open really late (except bars), but the True and real meaning of island time I believe has to do with the sessions, you see the temperature does not fluctuate here the sessions are dry (spring to summer) and wet (fall to winter) the problem is that I honestly lose track of what month it is all the time, if I where to walk outside it would feel like August even though we are nearing the end of September, I might lose my mind over this come Halloween but that's the subject of a different post thanks for reading till next time TTFN.
