Life has been happening. Since I last wrote, I attended the MD4 White Coat Ceremony. I had a few friends to graduate and I will admit that I cried. I spend an awful amount of time in the library and everyone that I would be in the library with is now gone except for a few. It was a great ceremony. It includes a few teachers speaking on how the students professional careers may be, reciting the Hippocratic Oath and of course, receiving their white coats.
After the ceremony, I proceeded to study and pass my courses better than I did in MD1. I was so proud of myself. Woohoo! So maybe, if I want to, I can be a tutor for something but I have some other plans that I will disclose over time. The big news is that I am now a MD3 student which means I only have 8 more months on this island left. Sounds great but it can be or not!
So over Christmas break, I did do something useful and became an American Heart Association BLS Instructor. I am proud of myself for doing something productive besides going shopping, eating all my favorite foods and gaining 10 lbs. I say all of that but it really did happen. Christmas with my family includes a lot of eating so I made sure to make up for all the homecooked meals that I missed out on especially at Thanksgiving.
I flew back to Saint Martin from Raleigh Durham Airport or RDU this time because it was cheaper to stay with my grandma for a night or two than to fly from Anguilla this time. I must say she continued to feed me. Now I feel like I have eaten an entire pig and I have to get back to eating right like I was before.
This semester will be a little different with new people joining the island. Students and teachers included. As well as new classes with different teachers. This semester does have a longer schedule with classes 8 am to 5 pm each day but they all serve their purpose. I am very optimistic although it is Day 4 of class but I am sure that I will be busy this semester for better reasons than none.
I will also mention that I moved again but I think this will be my final move on the island before I leave. I probably wouldn't recommend all this moving however I can say that I had a very good tour of the island because of it. I am now close to the ferry and am back to the alarm clock of roosters and chickens. Oh how I missed it so much I had to find another place with the blessed sounds. I will upload some pictures after I am completely settled but as for now, I have to get back to studying.
To everyone else, be safe and keep God first!
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:6, KJV
