Week 2 of Semester 1--Rediscovered Hatred of the Sun

Well... not much went on this week really in terms of classes--same ol' stuff, another week. I'm working on learning some second semester work in parasitology and just adding nervous and blood innervation to the muscles as I'm reviewing them. I should be in a pretty good spot for the start of Semester 2, I hope.


Semester 6 had their usual Bratwurst-festival (BratFest), which Lolly and I made an appearance at. What can I say? I was living the typical American male dream--bratwursts... beer... beach... women in bikinis. Hehe. Other than that, the weekend has been a relatively lazy one, trying to catch up on sleep from being sick at the start of the week. I had ended up with such a bad cold that I didn't even make it into school on Monday. I attempted to bake a cake with the limited supplies I have down here, and although it tasted fine, it looked like such a mess... but it seemed to go over fine when I had Katie and Kevin over to watch Repo: The Genetic Opera!

Had lesson 2 in the pool towards the PADI Open Water certification (the Scuba, if you didn't pick up on that). It went over well... much better than the first lesson did. However, I learned that my sunblock was either 1) not waterproof or 2) had washed off in the matter of the 5 hours of diving practice. I have some interesting burn lines as a result of the BCD vest. It's amazing how much of a workout it can be--especially when combined with a P90X one... I'll be surprised if I can walk tomorrow.

But, that's about it for now. Sayonara for the week!
