September Summary

BaCk To ThE GrInD:

When we arrived back home from our amazing vacation in Seattle, we had four or five days to ourselves. We spent that extra time going to the beach, snorkeling, hanging out with friends, and getting ready for the start of a new semester.

As usual, Semester Olympics occurred during the first week back to school, and this time, PINK, (5th Semester), took the cake! At the end of the week, we attended the Beginning of Semester Party, which had a theme: mustaches. It was pretty fun...until a monsoon decided to ensue. Normally rain doesn't bother me, but it was the cold that came along with it, that forced us to head back home. 

Beach*Fest which is hosted by the SCUBA club every semester, was held at Reggae Beach on September 17th. Matthew and I headed to Michaelene's for our annual Beach*Fest breakfast. Fortunately, we managed not to eat ourselves into food comas. Yay! We met our friend, Jackie, at Reggae when we arrived, played corn hole, and soaked up the sun. And then it rained, and we had a rather adventurous ride home! I feel very blessed that we both made it home safely. Whew!

Another fun event included celebrating Jessie's 30th birthday, and Diana's 24th. We went to dinner on their actual birthday at La Belle Vie, one of my favorite restaurants on the island. And later that week, we had a girls' night out for drinks and dancing. It was a lot of fun!

Lastly, we went to a goodbye dinner, for our friend and former Ross professor, Dr. Mark Freeman. The dinner was held at Formosa Garden Restaurant in Basseterre, and we had an amazing time. It was nice to see all of our friends come and wish Dr. Freeman well on his next adventure.

We'll miss you, Dr. Freeman!
