Hi Again!
We are finally done block 2! Exams were on Monday and today is Wednesday. I can't tell you how nice it is to finish blocks and have a slow easy week. The first week of a new block is the most stress free, as the material has yet to accumulate. Yesterday I was thankful that one of my classes was cancelled, and my last class let out 1.5 house early. It made the day nice and easy. Today was also a pretty chill day. Its currently 840 and Im done studying for the night. Its very nice.
Blocks went well for me. I was a little worried with Path as it was pretty tricky, but I was pleasantly surprised with my mark. Neuro was tough this block. The average was quite low, but I never was really too worried because I prepared well and I gave the class its deserved study time. I was also happy with my mark in Neuro. Behavioural was quite a bit more challenging then last block I found. I still did well, but not as good as first block. Micro was to be expected. I actually thought it was pretty easy, but when I got my mark back I didn't do as well as a hoped. Im still sitting in a good spot in the class, so its not the end of the world. Over all, I am quite happy with where I stand this semester. I just need to keep up the work and push through for a few more weeks. Its already crazy to think that I only have just over 5 weeks until classes are done for the semester! Its absolutely nuts.
Since last time I wrote, I haven't done too much. We did have the post block party on Monday which also happened to be July 4th! It was good fun even though I really didn't want to go out:P I was working the party for SGA so I had to be there. I wanted to catch the 11 bus back home, but I missed it so I had to hang in until 1am.. It wasn't all bad though. Got to watch some fireworks at least! Yesterday I also went to my first Cricket game. It was a ton of fun. I didn't realize how big cricket was until I went to the game and had a buddy explain it all to me. The game I went to see was part of the West Indies Premier league. It was St. Kitts vs Barbados. On Saturday and Sunday the biggest league called the Indian Premier league has a game taking place. Both are super big deals. It was a great time and I recommend that everyone check out a Cricket game if they have the opportunity.
The next few days there are some American photographers on the island taking pictures to revamp our schools website. Being part of the SGA and the Ambassadors program, I was one of the people who was selected to help them out. They have a schedule for their shooting, and we are the people who they will take pictures of. For example, tomorrow they are taking pictures in classes, student life during the day, and then later they want to take some pictures of student houses, the airport, downtown, and supermarkets etc. We get some free lunches out of it, so I'm more then happy to help out. Maybe in the next few weeks I will see my face on the school website:) That would be pretty cool.
I guess the next thing I have to do it work on the UMHS apparel and decide if I want to reapply to the SGA! The elections are already beginning to happen. Ill keep you guys posted with what I decide to do with regards to that! Thats about all I have to say for tonight. Ill catch yo guys later.
Things I've Learned
-Always check to make sure you aren't buying headphones that have two right ears and will only fit in the ear they are designed for.
-Nobody dresses up for Canada Day or July 4th Except about 3 of us... Very patriotic.
-I didn't have time to work on my beach body for sunset this weekend. Opps :P
-Ive finally found a piano on the island, but even time I've had an opportunity to be able to play it, its been broken..
Cheers,
Mike
