Another exciting weekend

This weekend was pretty exciting... a new bar opened up near the marriott so we went to check that out... it seemed pretty interesting, but when we got there it was way too packed and they had run out of beer, so we left and went to Timothy beach...

Also on Friday somebody had come down to give a talk about hurricane Katrina. He has a vet practice near New Orleans and was effected by the hurricane and so told all about his stories and it was very interesting. And it came with delicious dinner so that was really exciting...

There was also more hockey on Saturday... been watching a lot with Kathy. Her team made it to the Stanley Cup Finals last night, so it's pretty exciting stuff... except there's a bunch of kids who are Penguins fans (the other team) and they talk some pretty bad smack talk... a little on the low blow side, so we may not be watching the game at the marriott this weekend. Just depends if we can find someone else who will play it or not (we don't get that channel on our cable box).

AND we watched the Preakness on Saturday which was amazing... i can't wait for the Belmont... that horse is looking really good...

Classes are still going... our first test is coming up next week. Scary... but our schedule is so relaxed right now, it's been pretty easy to stay caught up so far...

I put some pics up on the other site of the inside of the apartment. Pretty sweet...

And I sold my half of the car to Amanda's friend Dana... so i am technically carless for now... kathy and i are sharing her vehicle, but i don't think i will technically go in halves with her... i'm not doing anything for the rest of the semester so that i can give myself some time to think about what will be best...

There are also new pics up from the stairs to the sea and my run this morning... i brought the camera because yesterday i had seen a troupe of monkeys hanging out around the picnic tables and they were amazing, so i wanted a pic... just my luck that if i bring the camera there is no monkey sighting to be had... so instead i walked down the stairs to the sea. They are a walkway that Hills built down through some woods on campus that lead to a gazebo that is right on the ocean. The view is beautiful and it's really peaceful and a nice place to sit. There are also a few of just the scenery and views from campus. I was having fun :)

For this week it looks like a lot of studying and getting ready for the weekend, seeing how we have hockey games to watch on saturday and monday (our test is on tuesday)... excitement abound :)

That's all for now

First Week Back

Again, i'm sure i'll be better at this now than i am at the end of the semester, but i try :)

The first week was interesting. No more anatomy, so no fabulous stories about that. We get to do "autopsies" this semester, which is exciting. The classes are all really interesting and i feel like i'm finally taking "vet school" classes. It's fun. Plus our schedule is a lot easier this semester, we have three hours of class most days of the week, labs in the afternoons two days of the week, and only two hours of class on fridays. It's pretty relaxing already...

Last week we had a good time most of the nights...

We went out to the Marriott for quesadillas and margaritas on cinco de mayo. That was a good time until some drunk guy at the bar just picked up my drink, drank it, and decided to call me a bitch when i was upset. He also badgered my friend and we almost had a fight on our hands... good times...

We watched a hockey game at the Marriott later in the week, and there was a party on Friday. They had "olympics" over the weekend with all of the intramural sports that we play here, but I didn't play in any of them... i chose to lay out most of the weekend instead...

Saturday afternoon was another hash. It was a lot of fun... we took some of the first semesters that we are friends with and they had a really good time. It was a really pretty one, starting at cockleshell beach and going up the hills out there and back down to the beach. We just walked mostly because my foot still hurts (thank goodness we decided to walk!) It was a little hard on my foot, the uneven rocks made it challenging for me and my foot was a little angry for the rest of the weekend, but it was really worth it... it was also worth the pants i ripped while trying to negotiate my way down some of the rocks! it was pretty amusing, i ripped a hole right in the seat of them and made a pretty good spectacle of myself :) The next one is on May 31st, which is kathy's bday... should be a good time...

Sunday there was a barbecue for the semester olympics, so after spending some quality time in the sun at the Marriott we went down the street and had some lunch with everybody. Second semester won the olympics... by a landslide, it was pretty ridiculous... but they have a lot of really athletic guys on their team...

Speaking of sports, no more football for me... our team disbanded (and some members decided to make a new team) last semester... it was all for the best, it just seemed like some people were not just having fun anymore which made it tense and non-amusing most of the time...

So, my major activities this semester will be diving (lots more than i have been, hopefully), running, hashing, and laying out (of course)... along with lots of mario kart for good measure!
