As much as this island has made my life more difficult, I can never say I hate it. I am always surrounded by beautiful waters and great weather (most of the time). Living here has always kept me on my toes... it hasn't rained in a couple of days, will I have enough water tonight? it looks like its going to be a stormy night, hope the electricity is still on in the morning! or dealing with hurricane warnings.
Thoughts like this never crossed my mind when I was living back home; makes for an interesting experience nonetheless -- except that when the electricity goes out, you cannot use your water because it is pumped electrically. Not fun when you have a presentation that same day and you need to shower with bottles of water. True story. Happened to a friend :)
So last weekend I took some time to calm down, de-stress and take advantage. A new friend and I went to hike the Sulfur Mine Trail. Here are some pics we took along the way! Great start to a saturday morning.
so green! still don't know what type of lizard it is. Anyone?
Beginning of the sulfur mine. Saba actually exported sulfur back in the early 1900s.

PS. the new blog header is a panoramic pic taken during this hike. amazing.
Found your blog a few days ago. I was admitted on July 13 for Sept. Thanks for writing this, it has been enjoyable to read and makes me feel really excited to start medical school at Saba.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for writing. I was just randomly googling "how to survive in saba med school" and found your blog! It really helped a lot! Ah so scared to start the whole new chapter in Saba especially because of the high passing grade and attrition rate.. Hopefully I will not drop out. Good luck with your rest of exams or are you already back home? :) I will see you in 3 weeks!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing this blog. It's interesting and helpful for incoming students like myself. Can you tell me how much paper I will need for one semester?
Thanks

Thanks so much for all the positive comments!! Looking forward to seeing you all on campus very soon :)
ReplyDelete@ David: if you learn by writing things down numerous times I would bring a couple of notebooks. I brought about 3 that were 150 or 200 pages. Also depends on how big you write. It's really up to you. Some people didn't even need paper since they would just read the slides over and over.
