Midterms.

It's Wednesday, October 6th and I'm sitting in a coffeehouse.  There's basically a hurricane going on outside (I'm exaggerating but there's definitely a tropical depression) and it's been raining for 4 days straight.  Everything is flooding, mudslides have occurred, we don't have internet at the house, the ocean is incredibly angry and spewing sand at everything.  All of us are happy because last year, they built a "by-pass" a.k.a. the only highway on the island that goes from Frigate Bay (my town) to school.  That way, we don't have to drive through the city.  They have roads that turn into giant rivers, usually resulting in cars drifting into the ocean.
It's been a while since I've posted.  We had three midterms so far and one more next Wednesday. I passed my microanatomy exam with a B and I'm rather pleased with that.  We had our three hour anatomy exam this past Monday, which started at 7am.  We get our results back tomorrow and I'm pretty nervous for them. Today, we had our physiology exam.  All of us just crammed for it because we were so busy studying for our anatomy exam.  But I'm pretty sure I got an A on it.   But I don't want to get my hopes up.
Things that I miss from the United States- McDonald's French Fries.  Taco Bell.  Street Lights.  Pandora/Hulu.  Climbing into bed without checking for centipedes.  Washing a load of clothes without the fear that the washer will flood everywhere.  Real home cooked meals instead of microwavable dinners.  Milk that doesn't expire the next day.  Or two days early, the day after you bought it like today.  Not seeing stray dogs on the side of the road.  Not dodging goats/pigs/dogs/cows while driving.  A room not full of sand.

Today, I was standing in line for lunch and the girl behind me was complaining about how cold it is.  Today, the high temperature was 86 degrees.  I get that it's raining but don't be a drama queen.  We're all really excited to watch the Michigan State/Michigan football game this weekend.  That's after our Nutrition review 10-12 and Nutrition Mock exam 12-2.

I have to get back to studying.  I hope everything's good with everyone back home.  Love you all.
