Hello everybody!! (As my new Physiology Professor would say) A LOT has happened in the past two weeks. My parents, good ole' Joe and Char came along for my adventure back to St. Kitts to legitimately begin my veterinary career. (We appropriately have renamed our volleyball team "Too Legit" because we are legit now). The place where they stayed was pretty amazing,
almost better than the Marriot!
I know my mom misses Arthur now that she is home...
So my parents and I walk onto the pool deck, and something happened that I never thought I would ever see...my mom walked right into the water and went underwater!! This has only happened in rare occasions of really really warm water. The water in the pool was like bath water, it was as nice as swimming in a pool of really warm salt water in Arizona. (trust me, warm salt water feels like your are swimming through velvet)
At the beach infront of where they stayed
At Shipwreck where they had a mango colada and funky monkey...yumm
Still trying to get Arthur to go into the water. He did make some positive steps by running into the water at my parents condo, not so much when everyone was around.
He ust swims right back to shore..
Monkeys
Right after we touched down, I had to go to campus to get my car. I showed my parents around a bit. They enjoyed the tour.
My dad pretending to lecture, haha. Love the straw hat.
At Rock Lobster where my parents finally met my roommates (:
My parents also helped me move into our new apartment. Second floor with a generator and my own bathroom...sign me up!
Our lovely living room with a balcony looking over the golf course.
Our large kitchen..our last kitchen was pretty much a sink and a stove!
My fabulous room, enough room for both Arthur and I.
My awesome study area.
Rachel made this clothe gate so Arthur could not get into Orion's food/water/poo.
Success! He cannot get in!
Moving has not gone without mishaps...Jenny got locked in her bathroom /: Arthur was very concerned!
Hello Jenny!! I can see you!!
Our class color is purple, we had semester olympics and Thursday was soccer. Arthur and I went to show our purple support!
I think by far my parents enjoyed the catamaran trip to Nevis. I had another activity planned of going to see a leatherback sea turtle lay its eggs from 8pm-midnight. We stayed until about 11:00 and my parents were ready to leave. Sitting on a blanket on a random beach in the pitch black for over 2 hours while listening to a guide tell you everything you ever wanted to know about turtle just wasn't my parents cup of tea. I was hoping we would have seen a turtle right away, but a female did not surface until 1:00am that night. I can go again at a later date to stay all night and see one. So, like I said, I am pretty sure my parents enjoyed the catamaran trip.
If I win the lottery, I am getting my dad a catamaran.
Some vetpreppers transitioned to firsties (:
Nevis
Getting ready to snorkel...I felt like a such a snob as I have been over 50 ft deeper than where we went (;
Nevis
We arrive on Nevis to embrase the hottest sand my feet haave ever felt and also the killer bee drink.
After a couple killer bees, everyone was dancing!
The kittitians could shimmy their hips much better than me.
Conga anyone?
The entire boat sang happy birthday to my dad!
Short ribs at buddies! One of my classmates got the barbque ribs, chicken, fries and a pina colada! I must say, if I were on death row, that may just be my last meal!
I am so happy that my parents where there to celebrate with me. It was nice to show them campus and where I will be living for quite some time.
