Keep on truckin...

wow so I am terrible at this whole blog thing...im going into the 8th week of the semester already!!! Sooo lets see a ton has happened in the past 7 weeks.
-We gained two roommates with 8 legs total which means I currently live with 3 dogs, 2 other people, and a cat aka I live in a zoo :) But overall everyone is getting along great.
- My roommates and I are in search for a new apartment, we love our current apartment, but we are hoping for a yard. We were shown a ton of apartments ranging from phenomenal to rundown. We saw our dream apartment the other day it was big had a beautiful view of the valley, complete with an outside stone pizza oven and infinity pool!! Too bad it is way out of our price range...so the search continues
- Just last week I completed my Turtle Awareness SCUBA Certification which was awesome learned all about turtles, how to identify them, where they stand here in St. Kitts. Went on two great dives where we were suppose to see turtles and identify them, but we only saw the back of a green sea turtle. So Rob (who taught the class) took us over to the turtle rehab center where they have a few injured turtles and ones that had just hatched. I am excited to get involved with the turtle monitoring network, I'm applying for a position on the shore research team and I have an interview for the in water research team where we go find turtles and bring them in to take blood samples and tag them.
- Classes have been intense this semester. Physiology II, Immunology, Parasitology, and Anatomy II are keeping me on my toes, but I guess it comes with the territory.
-Had mid semester break and it was fabulous. Went on the bat cave hike, spent sometime at the Marriott pool and went to the beach were Cherie and I split a bucket of Corona while studying parasitology
So since then I have been non stop studying for my parasit exam which is tomorrow!

I started writing this entry a few weeks ago and kept forgetting about it I really need to step up my game! Since I started writing it I decided to move in with my friend Beth in an awesome apartment with a great view! Feisty is excited to get away from the three dogs. Now I am in search for a car.

All in all life is crazy here and it gets overwhelming, but you just got to keep on truckin...
