Back on Nature Isle!

hi everyone!

It's been a while since I've written an entry, so here is the first one of the new semester!

I was back at home in Ontario for the duration of last semester, and I kept myself very busy with visiting friends, sharing the holidays with family, and working working working to save some cash! It was really cool to go back to HMV, which was my first real job (and a dream job) when I turned 16. Though it had been almost 10 years since then, I was able to pick things up(and I met some awesome people there! I miss them all!) I also miss the friends and family that I got to spend a lot of time with.
However I also missed Martin very much during that time, so it is great to be back with him in our Caribbean home!! (Although, I also miss him while he is studying at school all day!) The work of a med student never ever ends...

Speaking of students, I am also now a student (for the first time in 4 years!) I am starting my anatomy and physiology course on Friday, and Abnormal Psych and Developmental Psych in March. I am working to become a certified Recreation Therapist! I hope that I can work in the field when we go to the United States for Martin's clinical rotations (or at least I can complete the field placement portion there).

In other news, we FINALLY have internet at our apartment!! For a while it has not been connecting at all, so we have had to go to the campus to get access. Tonight however, our landlord got some technicians to come in and fix the router for us, so we are now rockin' the net! woohoo! It makes you realize how much we rely on the web to get things done.

So that's pretty much all the updates I have for today! Tomorrow is the RSO social, so I am looking forward to meeting some new people, and Monday is the shopping trip to Roseau. I may take some pictures in the city and post them to show you all what the capital of Dominica looks like :)

CHEERS!

Peace, love, happiness, (and crazy island adventures),

p.s. Thinking about the island of Haiti today, and praying for the people. Massive earthquake.. hopefully Dominica will only experience the small ones, and nothing on that scale..
