Good people + Good Adventures = Good 1st weekend.

Well I'm off to bed after a good first weekend back and full of things and people to make me continue to appreciate Grenada. The weather has been gorgeous and there are so many beautiful flowers out this time of year, especially with all the rain to water things. The themes were peaceful (read: slowly and Chloe-pace) studying and lots of good outdoor fun. Like I said, I really don't mind studying when I feel like I have time to really learn things and go over it all well...but yeah, that's a rare thing here most of the time. For now, I cannot complain. And, since one day at a time is my current motto, I'm not going to think too far ahead and start getting anxious. :)

Saturday morning, my friend Marieke and I did a very muddy hash in Beaulieu. It was basically walking through rotten mangoes + mud + greenery for about an hour or more, and there were some very steep inclines with nothing to pull yourself up on! Lots of fun (especially since we survived to tell the story). We enjoyed some lambie (conch) soup at the end and watch all the brand new hashers get dowsed in beer- surprise! Luckily, Marieke and I both new the drill...and rode home without the smell of beer coming out of our pores. The sweat was bad enough :) Sorry too many details. The next hash is in St. David's, which is sort of far away, so we might pass on that, but I definitely want to try and do some more before August and Pathology arrive together.

This week we start Biostat...hopefully it's better than I'm anticipating. I'm also trying to keep up with my new commitment to yoga, and Cyndy and I just had a nice pre bedtime session on the porch. If coated in bug spray, it really is a perfect and calm place for yoga. Great way to get the kinks out of vertebrae twisted into study position and to get nice and sleepy before climbing under my mosquito net for bed.

Going to go read some BRS Pathology with a flashlight in bed...let's see how much 'reading' actually happens. Goodnight!
