More 'Fish Eye' Photos

I am obsessed with this new 'fish eye' setting on my camera, and I thought to share the following photos because they make me laugh. That is all.

Black*Fest

Every semester, there's a Beach*Fest party, held at Reggae Beach Bar. However, 6th semester students weren't able to attend this one because of block exams that following Monday.

So...they created their own event, titled, 'Black*Fest,' (their semester color is black), and it was located at Spice Mill Restaurant on Cockleshell Beach. While it was a smashing good time, the fact that I found a new setting on my camera made it even more AWESOME! Check out these pics, using my 'fish eye lens.' Hehe. Oh---but first, a few normal photos.


Pretty view of Nevis.

Spice Mill beach bar. 

And now for the 'fishy' photos...

Doesn't Tiffster look like a little cartoon character?!

And then there are these two...

OMG. Too funny!

This is the best photo from that afternoon. Hahahahahhahaaa!

6th*Semester

As with all other semesters, we began the first week back to school with Semester Olympics, a Beginning-of-the-Semester Party (BOSP), and Mr. RUSVM.

BOSP's theme: 'Trashy is Classy.' There were a lot of white ribbed tank tops, women with pregnant bellies and keg beer, cigarette packs under bra straps, too much make up, fried hair, 'trucker' mustaches, etc. 

Me and Tiff. 


Me and Rhiannon.

Matty and Jovan at Mr. RUSVM. 

Me and Sara on her sweet scooter. We left Matty and Jovan behind. Heh heh. 

Rhiannon, me, and Ashley at Bamboo for the Mr. RUSVM after party.

Twins, Matty and Rhiannon. :)

Mini Sakoutis-Seerley

I am convinced that this island is a very fertile place because there happen to be a lot of new mommies or moms-to-be among our Ross community these days. On that note, I'm excited to finally share the news that my friend, (and fellow Lady of Leisure), Stephanie, is pregnant!

Rob and Steph's baby is due in November, but she will be leaving St. Kitts in August. While I will miss her very much, I am thankful that she is documenting her pregnancy with a blog which you can follow here.

Now looking back, there were plenty of clues, but I never put the puzzle pieces together. For example, she had mentioned several times that she wasn't feeling very well---which is unlike her---but I didn't think much of it. I also hadn't seen her much, but March and April were busy months for her because she had so many visitors. 

Coincidentally, I had a very vivid dream that Stephanie was pregnant and that I learned about it via a blog post, and was pretty affronted, (in my dream, that is). I felt that I at least deserved a one-on-one announcement. I'm no commoner! A few weeks after I had my dream, I told Stephanie about it at trivia one night in a OMG-I-Had-This-Crazy-Dream-About-You-And-I-Can't-Believe-I-Keep-Forgetting-To-Tell-You kind of way. 

Me: What a funny dream, right?!
Steph: Ohhh...yeah. Very strange. I'd absolutely tell you in person if that were true. Haaaah.

Poor Steph! When I was spouting out this information, she was indeed pregnant and aware of it. What can I say? You can always count on me to keep things awkward.

And then, one afternoon Tiffany, Jessie, and I felt like having an arts & crafts day. Stephanie initially declined due to not feeling well, but eventually said she was feeling better, and even hosted the impromptu event at her house.

Me (mindlessly making a friendship bracelet): So, Steph---how are you feeling? Better, huh?
Steph: Yeah...a little. 
Me: Oh good, good.
Steph: Remember that dream you had about me being pregnant? 
Me (slightly distracted by my yarn pieces): Uh yeah. Yep.
Steph: Well my cousin, Lia, had the same dream, which is funny, and you guys must be psychic because I am...pregnant.

My head immediately jerked upwards, I dropped what I was doing, stole glances at Jessie and Tiffany, and exclaimed:

WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS? Waaaaaait................am I being punk'd???

Stephanie: No, you are not being punk'd. I am pregnant!

Of course, we all jumped up, hugged her and wished her the biggest congratulations. Such exciting news! We could not be happier for her. And while we all sit, wait, and count down the months until her sweet baby arrives, we've been scouring Pinterest for baby ideas. Not a bad way to spend some free time, if you ask me. 


The Rest of April Break

Once we arrived back in St. Kitts from Puerto Rico, our friends, Tiff & Matt, picked us up from the airport. And Milo and Trooper were with them! We had such a lovely time exploring another island in the Caribbean, but it felt good to be home. I definitely missed my furry duo.

We spent the next week reading, relaxing, beaching, eating, and spending time with Tiffany, Matthew, and her parents, Richard & Carolyn. Fun times were had by all, and it was a lovely two week break.

Another day @ Shipwreck.

I believe he's reading, "The Hunger Games," in this photo.

I was reading, "The Shadow of the Wind."

Rain headed our way...

One afternoon, Matty and I went on a hilly walk/hike. 



It's not a semester break without karaoke @ Bobsy's.
