Round 2

Welp.. I am back for round 2. My break went ridiculously fast and I wish I really could have enjoyed it more by the time I got home it was time for me to leave again. And for new readers possibly interested in going to Ross..the second time saying goodbye sucks equally as bad as the first time. I always say I won't cry but I do anyway it is just a give in. Well this time it wasn't just me traveling to St. Kitts but my two dogs Peanut and Pebbles also. I think traveling in general is stressful let alone traveling to a different country with two dogs who have never been on a plane before talk about STRESSFUL. St. Kitts has an absurd amount of requirements for allowing pets into their country. The paperwork at times to get them here seemed never ending but after months of working on it I got them here and cleared by the CVO (chief veterinary officer) of St. Kitts. All I can say is thank goodness for my friends who helped me the entire time with my dogs. I really wouldn't have been able to do it without them! They are finally adjusting nicely after a rough first few days. Once we got to the airport in St. Kitts with the pups my roommate Michelle and I went straight to our new apartment. Our landlord greeted us with the keys and made sure everything was all set up for us. That next morning I finally got my car aka minion Stu! He was waiting for me on campus where the former owner left him for me to pick up. I cannot believe my friends and I all finally have cars. Relying on the taxi service here got really old really fast and we can finally go wherever we want whenever we want which is awesome. After getting our boxes out of storage and moving into our apartment it seems pretty much all set it and all I can say is the place is gorgeous. I could live here for the rest of my life and be perfectly content. The area is safe and just beautiful we got seriously lucky finding this place! My roomie and I are having a housewarming party this weekend. As for school, this semester I am taking Anatomy II, Physiology II, Immunology, Parasitology, and a vet skills class. This semester is known for being one of the toughest and a killer so lets hope all goes well I am a little nervous considering our class has gotten smaller from last semester to this semester. Some people drop out and some people have to repeat the semester because they failed a certain class. I refuse to let this semester beat me though I am ready to go at it full force.
