Today is the only one we get

Filed Under Daily | 

the semester is quickly picking up speed. big surprise there, eh? i am trying to figure out a good balance between hanging out with my dear friend and not getting overwhelmed by the workload dumped on us each day in class. it’s tough. more often than not, i am stuck at this desk.

but we did get out to some wonderful restaurants and even hit the beach on Sunday afternoon. Tiffany had a bad stomach bug over the weekend and was introduced to our local hospital yesterday. she seems to absolutely adore the island and all of the wonderful people here. she knows i am busy and is doing a great job of entertaining herself with the gin in my freezer and the local Rasta community. in the wee hours of this morning, she got home just as i started studying.

her flight leaves early Thursday evening. to be completely honest, it has been a joy (wonderful! awesome! so much fun!) to have her here, but i won’t be comfortable with the groove of this semester until i can fall back into my solitary routine. i need to be able to eat cereal in my underwear while standing up in the kitchen again. and while i’m sure she wouldn’t mind if i did that now, it’s just not the same, yaknowwhatimean?

life is pretty great these days. i am loving school and now have hot water! today was the very first time i have ever seen STEAM on the window in the bathroom. i obviously couldn’t resist drawing a happy face and a heart in it (which is sorta tough through a screen).

May! it’s almost half over! wow. if i’m not careful, the break in August is going to sneak right up on me and i won’t have a single thing planned. …which actually might be pretty darn good.

    So true…

    I’m actually only a pre-med student and things aren’t even comparably hard as it would be when I finally hit full fledged Med School…

    However, my commute to my school is 2 hours avg. each way… so I have the same problem of balancing school and hanging out with my dear friends…

    Hate to say it but yes… I think i too must get used to a solitary routine for the most of my time in med school…

    Still… I try to think that even though I might have less opportunities to meet my friends, each chance would be all the more joyful!!

    I’m glad to hear you’re having a great time with your friend, but I will be happy when she leaves (sorry Tiffany!) so I can hear more about your semester and classes.

    I’m glad to hear you’re having a great time with your friend, but I will be happy when she leaves (sorry Tiffany!) so I can hear more about your solitary underwear antics.

    (sorry for the pseudo-plagarism … not much time between meetings today)

    Excellent that you are having a great time and that you really have HOT water without having to go out in the warm rain.
    8 months, oh well.
