Merry Christmas

It is already Christmas, can't believe our winter break is going by so quickly. We are moved into our new place, and we had a great time with D's parents.

Here we are at campus
We gave them the tour and some of the building were open, so we got to show them our lecture hall. It was so nice to have family here, especially since we are not going home.
Sunset from the catamaran
 We had some great sunsets, and really enjoyed the catamaran trip. We miss everyone back home, but we are studying and trying to make the most out of our break. Merry Christmas!

goodbye term 2

Physio final done, and so is term 2!! We have our year 1 test tomorrow, but it is really just to tell us how we are doing so far (grade doesn't count!). Can't believe we are finally done, I have been waiting for this day for a while, and we will find out our grades tomorrow. Year 1 of medical school, you have been hard, but I can't believe how much I have learned. I am going to sleep so much this weekend!

ospe is over but finals have just begun

We took our OSPE II (the practical test) this morning. So one down, 3 to go! I hate finals week, it is exhausting and humbling. I am so ready for finals to be over! For some reason when studying for the test midterms/finals, it feels like, what the heck have I been learning this whole time. It just seems like so much material, it is overwhelming, but I have felt like this before all my test, so I am kinda getting used to it. This weekend the colts play the cowboys, really that game has to be scheduled for the weekend BEFORE finals?? What was the NFL thinking? I will be studying so good luck colts, see you on the other side of finals.
 I did have a great birthday, despite study for a big part of it. I had lunch with some friends, who are very nice and surprised me with a birthday cake! Which was awesome.

Other than no fun studying, there have been lots of Christmas decorating here, well you know in Grenada, not at my house, hello? finals! Anyway the lights and music make me homesick, but at least it is kinda like Christmas. Well, I have a date with physio tonight so later.
