Thrifting

Another week closer to midterms! This week we had a Resource Pop Up Fair so I was happy to see more people. Coming from such a large school and seeing so many faces everyday to seeing the same few people is certainly an interesting experience. I also miss having reliable trasnportation and being around many restaraunts. Nonetheless, my weekend was very exciting! On Friday, we had a large movie night (the girls in my suite and the suite across the hall). We watched Lady Bird, a coming of age movie about a highschool girl who had issues with her mother. I enjoy living in the dorms because we get to go to one another's suites and hang out all the time. On Saturday, we woke up bright and early and headed out to the thrift shop. Suprisingly, we were all able to find some items. The shop wasn't very big but I would say there was a decent selection of clothing. I got a orange button down shirt, two piece tan set, some scarves, and a black purse all for only $12. We will definitely be going back there soon. For lunch, I had sweet and sour chicken from a restaurant on the boardwalk in Christiansted. We spent the whole day there, so I also grabbed dinner on the boardwalk. I had a jerk chicken quesidilla and sweet chili chicken wings, these were both very delicious! I decided to rest on Sunday, so I went to brunch in the cafeteria around 12pm. Today's menu included pancakes, sausage, eggs, and breakfast potatoes. These food items reminded me of Sundays at home, my family loves breakfast food, so we would have it quite often. I also got caught up on work and prepared for tomorrow's beach day. My afternoon class is cancelled for tomorrow, so my roomate and I decided Monday would be the perfect beach day.

    I am extremely envious of both the food selections and the amazing bargain for your purchases at the thrift store. What has been your favorite food so far?

      I've definitely enjoyed lots of the restaurants here, but I must say the jerk chicken quesadilla has been my favorite. I love quesadillas and this one was very tasty, it even came with a pineapple cilantro cream sauce!

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
