My arrival

Traveling to my host school was pretty easy because it was a direct flight. I had 5 bags including my carry-ons which was a little hectic but a nice man helped me at the airport once I arrived. I got a taxi to the university and the check-in process began. Some things I noticed right away were that it felt weird to be driving on the opposite side of the road, the campus is quite literally on a mountain, and that island time is real. Everyone I have met so far is really nice.

Halloween Week

 This week was eventful. I started to feel a little sick that the beginning of the week but it ended up just being a cold. I went to a start-up event on Thursday night and it was fun. On Friday Candace, Reagan, and I went to Dog House for bingo. Then on Saturday, I went out to Chicken and Bowling for a Halloween party. On Sunday I tried to get a COVID test to make sure I didn't have it. On Monday I got a COVID test and it was negative. I rested all Monday and then went out to a Halloween party at Sapphire. We didn't have class on Tuesday because it was a holiday. I also found out that Matt will be coming to the VI with my parents which I was super excited to hear about. They were supposed to come yesterday (Wednesday) but they are coming today. They are currently in Puerto Rico waiting to board their connecting flight to St. Thomas. I am super excited to see them after my lab today.  (I will post pictures in another blog)

life update

Having my parents here was fun, but I think they had false memories of this island. I really enjoyed having Matt come. I wish the weather was better so I could've taken them around the island more. The week they left I was super busy with schoolwork and deciding whether to take a gap year or not. I also was registering for classes for the spring.  This is my last full week of classes so I am super overwhelmed with schoolwork. I have decided that I am going to take a gap year and try to get an internship involving my interests in marine life and work on my applications.  Once this week is over there will be a big update with images.

It's Midterm Time!!!

 Hi everyone!  Sorry for the long-awaited update.  I have been super busy the last few weeks.  September 7th - 11th:  September 7th: Today was a pretty chill day I went to my classes. My exam for Marketing got moved back due to technical issues with Blackboard and in my Resort class, my presentation went well.  September 8th: Reagan and I decided to go to the beach (Brewers) in the evening to watch the sunset. The water was clear in some areas but in others, it felt like I was walking in black orange juice with extra pulp. The sunset was so beautiful. After taking pictures I noticed this weird hotdog thing in the surf and I kicked it out of the extremely small waves. I soon realized it was moving and definitely not a hotdog. I used Google lens to identify it and it said it was a sea sausage. We went back to our dorm and got changed for dinner. Maddie (she lives on the island and we met through Reagan because they have a class together) took Reagan and me to Tap & Still. We played
