The last couple weeks have been trying. We made it through 10 exams in 14 day and I apologize that I haven't written sooner. Our last exam had two pages from the wrong test on it; however, nothing is being done to help any of us. We won't know our final grades until at last the end of the week. It is always nerve-wracking. I'm passing everything, but there is still a lot up in the air so I'm always nervous until the final grades come out.
I've been sleeping, eating and reading novels by the beach for fun since our last exam. However, today wasn't so fun. Farley and I had to do surveys about the semester, register with the state department for our trip to Argentina and complete loose ends for the trip. We leave in about 12 hours and I haven't packed yet. I'm getting SO excited. For one, I have a million mosquito bites and I'll be glad to be in a cooler climate, where hopefully there will be less blood sucking insects. We are going to drink great wine, eat great food, maybe see an opera and enjoy the culture and wonder of Buenos Aires!!
I'm not sure why, but I think half of the first semester class for September is already here, even though they don't need to be here for at least another week. They were all over during finals and they are just about the only people here now. I overhead a couple parents saying that the insects and were disgusting and I thought, if they only knew! I'm glad that the parent wasn't starting medical school because I suspect that she wouldn't have been able to handle our little island. Let's be frank: it is beautiful but it is known as the nature island and not the resort island for a reason!
Well I better go pack!! I'll be writing soon...
