Half Way Done!

As Term 3 comes to a close, it marks the halfway mark of my time on the island. This term I spent more time in the study hall than I ever have before. 9 times out of 10 if you ask someone what the hardest term was, they will say term 3. Its quite voluminous and the information is challenging. But....we made it through!! The last few days on the island after finals I did get to enjoy some time on the beach every day and eat some good food.

We managed to explore some new parts of the island, heading to the east coast to spend the day at La Sagesse beach. Very much off the beaten path and filled with only a few locals, visitors of the hotel, and a few students it was a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Grand Anse. The water was rougher but we had a blast body surfing. The ocean even swallowed up some of our sunglasses after getting pummeled by some waves. It was nice to finally get to enjoy the island and get some much needed Vitamin D.

The trip home was fairly uneventful, which is a good thing. After getting home my siblings and I planned a fabulous 30th Anniversary Party for my parents. We had family from all across the US come into town for the celebration. Nothin like a good surprise, some delicious BBQ and refreshing beer on Memorial Day weekend. A fitting way to celebrate the best parents in the world.

This summer I hpe to be working at the local clinic I volunteered at last summer. Im really looking forward to enhancing my skills and putting to use what I learned this term. Other than that just resting the ole noggin before kicking back up for 4th term.
