Leap Year

We had school. I got my eyebrows waxed this morning though! Last weekend I cut my hair. It looks fab! Did I mention that if my veterinary career didn't work out I could work at Super Cuts?! I have a couple people (2) coming to me for hair cuts! They're guys so I don't think they really care, but they said I did a better job that the local barber who takes 2 hours to cut white people's hair (cuz they're not used to cutting it).

Mid Semester Break 3

Saturday I slept all day. Was so exhausted from a week of tests. Have another test tomorrow (Tuesday) so I haven't even been able to go to the beach all weekend.

Good news though: I got Salty's life jacket, so now she matches Rudder! And I can drag them both in the water while I snorkel. Exciting!

Also got my shipment of tea so I can be hyped up on caffeine while I study. Bought another blanket at a 7th semester sale, so I'm all huddled up with my blanket, heater, sweatshirts, etc in the campus library. Bartered for a coffee pot too so make the Godiva Hazelnut coffee I bought myself for Xmas. I mentioned it's been cold here right? Got down to 80F the other night. Freezing! How am I going to make it back in the states, ahem, frigid north!

It's warm today though, cept indoors! That's our tuition money at work I guess.

Fire!

Last night there was a huge fire in the cane fields. (Sugar Cane.) There are a lot of fires on island because the cane market was replaced by sugar beets, so the island can no longer make a profit. I've had a headache all day so after school I went home to take a nap. When I woke up the entire mountain behind me was on fire!!! A huge ring of fire! It looked exactly like one would imagine Hell. So cool! Sugar cane grows to be 8-12 ft tall, so imagine the flames! It sounded like crackling like popcorn and smelled like cotton candy. I ran up to my friends' apts up there and we all gathered to watch the cane fields burn... and pack their stuff in case their houses burned down. Two hours later I decided to run home and get my camera. Here is video of the fire (although it is much less impressive than the acutal fire).
