After the most miserable flights ever (more later about that)
I am in Saint Kitts and in my room!!
What an amazing whirlwind of adventures in the last 24 hours!! With all the concern with hurricane Issac we
had not problems. I have started to feel sick the week leading
up to the departure and with the combination of stress, nerves, being sick, and
having a little too much to drink Thursday night…this plane ride was
AWFUL!! But I am finally feeling better and
had an amazing first 12 hours!!

We arrived a little after 2:30 pm and got off the plane, got
out bags, and met up with our orientation group leader (Sorry everyone but
Brittany is the BEST OL). We loaded all
the luggage in a flatbed truck (wish I
would of got a picture) and then took our van to campus to check in out
room. We unloaded our bags and then
headed to the grocery store to get basic items.
I will have to be that crazy person taking pictures in the market taking
photos of the isles for everyone at home to see how it is here. It looks just like the grocery stores back
home with many very recognizable brands.
We came back unloaded a few more things from the suitcases
(hey we have 6 plus 2 carry-ons…it takes some time) and then headed to dinner. Well,
I got my first experience of “island time” and “island service.” Took us over 3 hours to eat!! I know I will
not be running out for a quick bite for dinner during school since that does
not exist here!!
Now we are back in the room unpacking a few more things and
then going off to bed. Almost midnight here but my internal clock is so off it doesn’t
know what it should be doing!! We are
suppose to go to Shipwreck beach tomorrow
and relax and have fun!! Going to enjoy everything I can before school starts
but I already love it here!! I feel bad for my fellow classmates as the hurricane
is causing TONS of problems getting here if they planned on leaving
tomorrow. Some can’t get a flight here
until September 5th (we start school the 3rd and have our
white coat ceremony there too!!) I wish them the best of luck getting here safe
and in time!!
Ok bed time!!
