Red Semester Class of 2017
It may seem all I do is go to the beach right? Wrong. On occasion us vet students manage to crawl out of our caves and make an appearance to the world but it doesn't happen every weekend as they mostly consist of catching up on the previous lectures or studying for an upcoming exam. But it doesn't hurt to study at a beach either ;)

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to volunteer at the Joseph Wilder Memorial Scholarship fundraiser at Bamboo Lounge last weekend. We raised a lot of funds that night, danced our asses off to open mic night, and poured a lot of beer, all for a great cause. I met a lot of awesome people that night too. Dr. Nick Spaccarelli is one hell of a guy and certainly someone that everyone should meet.

I love the friends I have made here. Always willing to help anyone in need, make you laugh, or just have a good time. It's only the beginning but I can't wait to make more memories down the road with everyone. Don't get me wrong, I do miss home, a lot. But it's hard to miss home when you're so busy all of the time and don't have time to think about it which is probably my only saving grace. I can't thank my dad and Ben enough for taking such great care of my pets and always sending me pictures of them or skyping with them. Words can't describe how much I miss them and I can't wait to see them again. It's crazy to think that I've only been here for a little over a month but it seems like a year. Time certainly flies by and its not wasted to say the least. I wish everyone could enjoy an experience like I have, it's totally worth it to travel in life or even just studying abroad somewhere. You have nothing to lose but maybe your luggage getting there. Every day in St. Kitts you wake up and are bound to see a beautiful sunrise, rainbow, or a sunset at night.
I'm still searching for a trail to run on although, I learned in lab today to watch out for the bushes when running by them because you may get charged by a cow...........maybe the treadmills will suffice in the meantime. I miss you home but I'm loving life down here too much. Just never forget mi casa es su casa for those of you unlucky souls buried in snow back home ;) Back to the grind of studying for probably my hardest exam thus far this semester...I'll be sure to keep in touch from hell.
