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.

Second Thanksgiving Or Final Quiz

Hello Dear Readers, It's US Thanksgiving week which means next to nothing when your on an Island but a lot of parties and stuff, also today was my last quiz of the term which is nice but also not so nice since that means there are only two weeks till finals start.

But this week let me tell you about shopping here since I do that about once a week, If you don't have a car then there are two easily accessible options IGA which is in the Spice Island Mail, and food fair which can be found in Grand Anse Shopping Center. The two have mostly the some things IGA is easier to get to and from since the buses run at least every 30mins, Food Fair buses only run every hour, the biggest difference is that Food Fair has more local stuff, IGA has more "name brands" and stays of "stocked" most of the time. 
 In a totally unrelated twist, The last Improv show of the year (not sure if I have talked about the fact that I am part of the SGU Improv Comedy Club) in lieu of Auto Racing which used to be my main destress tactic, I have found Improv to be a good way to relax, and I figured I would mention just how much the club has helped me this term, I just really like having a group of friends that love to make each other laugh.

Sleepless in Grenada Or, Writing about Nothing

Well dear Readers, it's going to be a short one since I woke up and thought crap I have to write a post after my quiz. The way I normally write these is during the week if something happens, or a cool event is going on, etc... I make a note of it so I can remember it on Monday but sometimes Nothing interesting happens, and if I don't remember before Monday I do not look up some interesting Island/vet school fact to write about, then this happens and I tend to ramble on about nothing. Anyway I am going to take a nap now TTFN

Earthquake! Or Valcano!

Hey there Dear Readers, We had an earthquake yesterday, it was a 5.7 but it was far enough away that it was barley a thing, but it did lead me to finding out that off the coast of the other side of the island there is in fact an Active Volcano that last erupted in April of this year.
Okay so staying on the natural train I have to say that some (SOME) days last week where ineradicable it wasn't hummed, it might have been cold if the sun was not out (could in that anything below 80F outside feels cold now). However it is back to being super hot and hummed here so all is right with the world.
Let's just jump back into Kick Em' Jenny which is the name of the under water volcano off the east coast of Grenada and the Northwest coast of a smaller Grenadian island known as Diamond Rock, the reason no one knew that Kick Em' Jenny was erupting in April is that it is 180m below the surface of the water.
Since we are learning lets straighten out what might now be going though your head, yes the earthquake and volcano are totally unrelated to each other. Islands in the Caribbean are actually fairly active when it comes to seismic activity which is something that I Learn yesterday. The more you know TTFN

Thanksgiving? Or, Halloween?

Well Dear readers it's been a Strange week with Grenadian Thanksgiving on Wednesday and Halloween tomorrow, which meant that all of us students did all are Halloween stuff Saturday and Sunday, so bring on the Christmas music. Because for most of us students go home in December, but hey can't think about that now since we are about 4-5 weeks out from finals, and that means that quizzes pick back up, assignments are going to be do soon. Which is why there was so much going on this last weekend, I had things going on everyday from Friday to Sunday, Island school life my not be a super chill relaxing why to go though vet school but we do actually try to have fun when we think we can get away with it which is to say very rarely unless it is something quick like watching some youtube, or playing a video game for A (1) hour. It's these little things that keep us sane and motivated, then you have these crazy weekends where you almost forget you are in school (almost), true it is probable slightly detrimental to our study's, health, and sleep, but hey they did tell us that we would be maladjusted to the real world when we started, we all know how boring that research must have been so for all of us here we try to keep everything at status quo.
Till next week Happy Halloween, and Late/Early Thanksgiving, TTFN

Island House Hunter Or, Time after Time

Hello Dear Readers, This last week was a slow one thank God, and this upcoming week we get Wednesday off for Thanksgiving? (I know it's a bit weird that it's before Halloween but I am sure that all the stores in the US already have Christmas stuff out). Last week was also strange because I did pass all my midterms, so I was remembering last term, and also how this time last year I was still in undergrad (Let's Go Peay), it's just crazy to think about that not that long ago I was still just trying to pass the ACT's and now I am Here! Which just blows my mind (I have to do the math every time I have to tell people how old I am... 24).

So changing Gears, me and my roommates are getting an apartment, and it's very nice. Now finding a apartment on the Island is a bit different since most of the landlords live off island, so it's a lot of back and forth emails which can get really irritating when things change on you and you have to email the realtor, so they can email the landlord so we can figure out how much money we need to get together. but at least the property manager is super cool, to be far this place is very nice and from what we where told it's had a string of bad renters so I can kind of understand why the landlord is being weird.

Sorry Readers I just read back though this post and it feels more disjointed then usual so let me clarify I am actually not stressed out about vet school for the first time since starting vet school, it is not that it's some how easier now it's just that I am passing classes, and I final feel like hey I do belong here, I can do this whole Vet school thing.
This weeks lesson is that everything looks so much more beautiful when you are actually looking. TTFN
