I am getting into the swing of things I think... finally! I got up at a decent hour this morning and had my telephone line installed. I'd have my own internet too but they gave me the wrong cd to install -such is island life. I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Yesterday was a bit of a bummer, my friend Jared (the pastry chef) went home and everyone here misses him. Good thing I have tons of homework to keep me super busy. I read two solid chapters this morning of Genetics -kinda interesting but the experiments get pretty complicated. I also took notes while reading and read ahead in the notes we're going to cover on Friday. Trying really hard to be a great student and it sure takes work. Now maybe if I can get a handle on Biochem I'll be ready for tomorrow's hectic schedule -4 classes (each 2 hrs) so it's like 8 until 7pm including small breaks. There is also a vet club meeting tomorrow night that I'm going to try and make -they promise free food -yumm!!
I also went to the gym today -second time in a row. I LOVE MY GYM. I'm not used to being treated this well. You go in, sign in, get a towel that they've laundered for you, head upstairs to the cardio equip, do about 25 minutes while watching american tv (Feels just like home!!) then it's down to the main floor again where one of the many instructors, takes you to the individual equipment, explains what to do and counts sets and reps for you. Essentially it's personal training for free!! There are also lots of classes available and I plan to try the Hip Hop class on Friday. Today my instructor was "bambi" I'm probably spelling it wrong but tha's what it sounded like. I learned a lot about lifting weights and he assured me that if you do it properly you don't get too "big" nothing worse then getting tree trunk arms if you're a girl. One of the other instructors offered to burn me a cd of local "soca" or local music. Can't wait to see what that will be like.
Fig is feeling really good today. He was really interested in something in the corner this morning. So I saw my first cockroach -gross!! Good thing I have a cat, the thing was dead and was easily disposed of. The cleaning lady I spoke to said I can get some kind of -sounded like "Camfur" balls to keep them away. For sure I will pick some of those up tomorrow. Joys of warm countries but I still thing this is all worth it. I'm getting to know all my dorm room mates and am making friends slowly already tonight i've had three knocks on my door to chat -it's really fun to have all your friends living right next door.
Hope everyone had a good day, talk to you all soon!!

I am jellus of your gym, but not of your need for camphor balls! Cockroaches are only cool if they're the hissing cockroaches at the Provincial Museum.
