Packages from home and Good Grades

My notes after 5 exams...almost 8 inches thick of pure hand written notes

 

Well, I survived a few more tests (which is a good thing).  Last week I had my anatomy palpation exam and the second midterm.  I got an A on the palpation exam and a B on the second midterm.  I am a little disappointed in the B because I felt like I really knew the information.  I keep getting the hard questions right and overthinking the easy questions.  We still have 2 more exams in anatomy as well as another palpation quiz so I am really going to buckle down for those tests because I really want an A in this class.  This week we had our second of three physiology exams.  I am very proud to announce that I received another A so I maintained my A in this class.  We have a nutrition exam next Wednesday so my weekend will be spent studying for it. I received a B on the first exam so I am really shooting for a high A to bring my grade up.

My life has been pretty much study, sleep, eat repeat.  I am trying to go to the gym more often since I want to get back into shape but I feel so limited on time.  The school has a really nice gym here so I just need the motivation.  Maybe I can convince my good friend Taylor to make me go!!

On Tuesday, Brittany, Rachel, Taylor and myself went to meet our landlord for the dome home.   She was SOOO nice and the dome looks amazing.  I loved living in the dorms this semester and it was a great transition onto the island but I am READY to move off and have a bath tub and oven!!

 

These past 2 weeks have also been amazing because I have gotten 3 care packages from home!! My first one was from my sorority advisor Casey and it was filled with AMAZING candies.  She knew trick or treating would be thin down here so she made sure I had PLENTY of sweets!! I must admit I did give myself a tummy ache from all the candy I ate one night.  The second package to arrive was one from my mom which has TONS of stuff in it!! From my nerf gun, The Spotter, hair pins, slippers, wall art, crock boards, PINK poncho, ink cartridges, some cooking supplies I don't know how to use, passport holder and even an In N Out place mat (which I could have done without).  And lastly a  packaged arrived from my old co-worker and AMAZING friend that had lots of inside jokes between us and work.  LHAH snow is now hanging in my room and my Gold Gym Dalmatian is on top of my printer.  The package also included LOTS of candy and food.  Thank you all for sending me these care packages…it means SOO much to me!!

 

Gold Gym has taken over Saint Kitts...what animal will be lucky enough to wear this!!

 

As I said before, this weekend will be spent studying Nutrition as that test is Wednesday and the week after that is Micro Anatomy again and then we FINALLY have a week off!!! In first semester we have 10 weeks of a test during each week…NOT fun!!  I think we are going to try to go to the beach the weekend and the Marriot brunch…but who knows…it is island life!!

See I really do study!!
