Orientation week

Wow, it definitely has been awhile. Just finished my first official week of classes in Vet School. I'll post more on that later. I wanted to first say thank you to all of the family and friends that have contacted me with their well wishes over the past 2 weeks. It has definitely helped during this transition to island life.

The last 2 weeks have been nonstop, one of the reasons I didn't post last week. Orientation week was a blast.

I think we lucked out with arriving so early because we had a few extra days to get acclimated to our new home away from home. Plus our actual orientation group really "clicked" well.

During our orientation we had many classroom sessions going over the "ins-and-outs" of being a vet student, as well as safety and security concerns living away from home on St. Kitts. It was very informative and laid out extremely well(they definitely have their act together which made us all feel a little more at easy in this new environment).

We also spent the majority of this orientation week getting our apartments situated for the upcoming semester as well as lots and lots of beach time. We were at the beach almost every day, I had the burns to prove it.

Our taxi driver also took us on a tour of the island one of the days which included a trip to Brimstone Fort which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Really amazing place as well as a good upper leg workout.
