Neuro
I was very pleased to be learning about the Nervous System this block in class. Finally something I am already comfortable with. I knew that neuroscience thesis was good for something. Some neuro pictures that I love...

Saba life
Block weekend is around the corner once again. We found a great 3-bedroom apartment with an amazing view for next semester. We also found the perfect little car to zip around in that we will be getting in April/May once we move out of the dorms. Big thanks to Ryan and Amy for all their help. My histology group did our presentation last Monday morning. We did the Determination of Rickets. It is an intimidating thing to stand in front of so many brilliant minds and pretend that I know what I’m doing, but it went well and I’m happy it is out of the way now. Did I mention I dissected a human scrotum on Valentine’s day? Good times. Beverly's 23rd birthday was on Saturday so Phung and I baked a cake and cupcakes for her and they were delicious. I also received a care package from Daniel this week! Always exciting to receive a piece of home. I already added a similar picture to this one but I liked Sarah’s version better so I am posting it again. J

The view
Craig decided to climb a mountain without a trail the other day and he got a few great pics that give an idea of what the island looks like on a bigger scale. I love the panoramic shot. The peak here is Mt. Scenery that we hiked the first week. Islands in the distance. Boats to the left. The houses are in The Bottom (the "town" I live in).
One month in
Block week again! Our second set of exams (Block II) are on Monday and Tuesday of next week. In the meantime, I was very excited to receive a care package from Maman! Most eventful part of my life this week. She sent lots of snacks - pringles, doritos, tostitos, almonds, mini eggs (they didn’t last long), brownies, jelly beans, etc – as well as spices, Puffs (with lotion), candles, cute sticky notes, and my favourite yellow shirt that I missed while packing. The best part though was the mail and the cards. I have the cards up in my room now. Yay! As a general note, I love all your messages and e-mails and I’m sorry if I don’t get back to you right away. That’s the main reason I created this blog – so I could let everyone know that I was alive and well and all that even if I didn’t have the time to chat. Melissa's man came for a visit this past weekend. He brought me a sleeve of caramilk bars so of course I was an instant fan. They tried to fish for goats using
