Random Ramblings

Have you ever seen the show 'Lost' where it seems the island is literally trying to kill the people on it? Sometimes I think that island is Grenada, whose flora and fauna have schemed to erradicate SGU students off this rock. For example, my classmates organized a class hike up to 7 Sisters waterfalls. While my classmates were playing and frolicking in the waterfall on a beautiful Saturday morning, there was a flash flood. A spontaneous wall of water threw people off the waterfall and left others stranded clutching rocks for their lives (Barry and Gina down on the right) until help could be called for miles away. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt, but there were quite a few ouchies and the hike back to campus was a long one.


On the other side of the island, myself and a few other people went to an equine colic lecture that could have been disasterous too. We were learning how to shove nasogastric tubes down a horse's noses when two horses got into a fight and the loser came galloping into us like a bowling ball hell bent on knocking over pins. One again thankfully no one was hurt, but my poor little brain that is already going through an academic blender cannot take the extra shot of adrenaline. Whoever said the Caribbean is relaxing was lying!! I would not be suprised if a polar bear to come out of the trees!!


In other news, I am in the beginning stages of writing a textbook with one of the professors down here. I just got a huge volume of notes yesterday from him that I need to start rifling through and all of my additional resources have been mailed to Matt in the US. It will be a busy Christmas break to see how much I can get done. Coming home in 30 days!!!
