Week one done... week two here we come!

WEEK ONE DONE!!!!! I made it... in one piece. Classes are going well, but the pace of work is very fast. I am taking class every day of the week, and this week we start anatomy lab which should be very cool. Apparently there is a wet lab and a dry lab... we will be working mainly in the wet lab but I'm just excited to get in any lab!
Ill give you an overview of the week just so you can see all the fun you are missing here in Grenada! lets see... I wake up around 7, give or take about 5 min.  My roommate and I have breakfast which we make in the room together and enjoy a nice cup of Colcafe coffee... which basically is like drinking mud... lets just say when i get home I'm going to drink an iced coffee from Dunkin' with my pinkie finger up like its a delicacy! haha      After breakfast in the morning, my bag is normally packed and then I leave for class around 7:40.  It takes us a little while to walk up the hill which normally isn't bad, but the fact of 85 degree weather with 90% humidity isn't too fun before 8 AM.  Chris(my roommate) and I normally try to make that trek as quick as possible; I think our record currently stands at 5 minutes.

This is the view from upper campus, and directly behind me about 50 yards is where we have our morning lectures.  The steepness of the hill really can't be judged from this pic, but let me reassure you, its no joke!
The mountains in the distance really make this picture scenic... its kind of hard to see but I will try to get a better picture up soon enough.






So we have classes in the morning for about 3 hours and then anatomy lab once every week. It really isn't too bad of a schedule, but when you throw in about 8 hours of studying to do on top of that you have a packed schedule.  I can tell you that not only is my Anatomy book intimidating to look at, it doesn't make a good pillow either!!! So when the day winds down, I normally get back to my room around 10 or 11 and have time to pack my bag and get ready for the next day... check some emails/Facebook and then hit the sack... not too exciting!
This week should be interesting though. The material is really starting to pick up in class and I know the amount of info is only going to get more in depth... Especially with  this one class, Physiology.  The professor is a good guy but the material is a little dry and not really my cup of Joe... so it makes concentrating very hard!

When I get a little overwhelmed though I just take a step back and look around at the school... this really is a beautiful place.  This picture was taken right outside of our library.  As soon as you walk out of the library, I looked left and saw the sun setting. The sun is like clockwork here because we are on the equator... up at 6:30 and down at 6:30. No fluctuation on it at all... and when the sun goes down, it gets dark so quick!!!!
Well its about 11 at night and I need to get to bed but I hope everyone else is doing good back in the US!!!
Talk to you all soon!!!!!!!
