Point Udall

No class on Monday made the week fly by! Some of my classes were cancelled for some reason this week, so this was a pretty chill week. I had one of my first major assignments, which was a group powerpoint presentation on a research topic. We presented via zoom and everything went geat! On Friday, I went out to a local lounge in Christiansted, my friends and I did karaoke. Well they did all the singing and I was there to laugh and cheer them on. I also experienced Point Udall and got to see shooting stars for the first time. Point Udall is the easternmost part of the United States. I was totally convincved shooting stars was something that only occured in movies. On Saturday morning, everyone went zip lining, but I stayed in for some much needed sleep. I love how the university offers so many events and activities. I know its not the same because of Covid, but they try to make sure we still are having fun. Classes are going great so far. I miss football like crazy, both UofSC football and my NFL team: the Dallas Cowboys. I see we are starting the season off good (UofSC), so i'm definitely cheering from a far. Midterms are quickly approaching so I know my next few weeks will be hectic.

The Addams Family

     We had a pajama themed movie night! We all dressed in our favorite pjs and headed to the local cinema on Tuesday. We saw The Addams Family, I have never seen the original but I enjoyed this one. I mentioned this in a previous blog but I love the movie theatre prices and food selection available here. Our dance midterm was both a written test and a choreographed dance. I was not too excited for this because I know very little about dance. However, I enjoyed the assignment and got wonderful feedback from my professor.       Recieving mail here has been pretty dificult, but I ordered a package from Amazon and got it in a few days so that was great! However, i'm still waiting on a package my dad mailed from back home. This has been one of the best week since I got here. It just felt very refreshing and I got some much needed sleep. On Saturday, we went to the beach, I got to have Louie and Nacho's again. When I find something I like, I pretty much stick to it, so I had the

First Week of Classes

Image
Classes started on Monday and I was so nervous because I had no idea what to expect. This semester, I  have 2 classes via zoom and 3 classes in-person. I love the in-person classes because I get to interact with people and I'm tired of online classes. My professors are lovely so far, my largest class has about 20 students and my smallest one is 2 students (another student and I). Campus is very small compared to UofSC. There are also only a few classrooms, so I definitely can't get lost.  Residence Life hosts many events throughout the week and I am very grateful for that. This week, we had  a game night, a paint night, and ended the week with a trip to the local movie theater. I was so surprised by the food prices! Everything was affordable compared to movie theater food at home, which is so expensive. I remember a small popcorn and drink was $4, they also had wings, quesadillas, nachos, hotdogs, and so much more. We saw Protege, which was an amazing movie, and I would rate a

St. Thomas for Homecoming

Image
       St. Thomas was AMAZING to say the least! I had such a good time and enjoyed our week over there on their campus. The best part was the food and my least favorite thing was the sleeping arrangements. The food was delicious, we had quite a wide variety and I got some of my favorite items I've been missing like pork sausage, ribs, and breakfast items! The rooms were just tight and I couldn't imagine sleeping there for an entire semester, maybe in another dorm, but this specific one was two small for two people.      I aside from the food and rooms, I loved the campus. There was lots of walking and big hills, but they have a beach on the campus, sports, and life is so much busier over there. We went on an island tour to learn some history of the island but for the most part our days were jam packed with basketball games during the HBCU Classic. Some of the universities from the states came down and played in several games during the week.      We closed the week out with a g
