Semester 3, Week 2--The Beginning of Semester Events

So, as I last mentioned, the end of week 2 brought a very busy weekend for us (thank goodness we didn't have classes on Monday--St. Kitts Independence Day, the ONLY holiday we get off).  I'm plain exhausted... I don't think I'll have much energy to study despite all the time in the world.  :P

Friday night was the Mr. RUSVM pageant.  The categories weren't too great this time--Favorite Veterinary Disease, Best Kittitian Fix-it, Talent, and the Worst Fashion Trends.  I was helping with my class's skits this time, and despite the crappy categories, I think it was one of the best ones I've gone to (for the most part).  The contestants were evenly matched (except for that poor firstie... they never know what they're getting into), and despite a few inappropriate acts (as there always are), it was enjoyable for everyone.  Russell came back to perform a song (he was the one that broke his leg at the last one).  I have a link to the video here.  Sadly, my class didn't even place, but we did well, if you ask me.  Even our "Party Rock" routine was decent (although some of us kept complaining that our timings were off). 

The next morning was Beachfest--and there isn't really much to report on that one.  My thrown-together volleyball team got wiped during the first game of the tournament... I had Lia get some beach time and she made some new friends... and I got some reading in (and it was enjoyable reading at that--none of this pathology, bacteriology, virology, or pharmacology stuff!).

Then, we had the September RUSVM Geeks Anonymous gaming session in the Union.  I got to try out this game called Munchkin, which took a bit of a learning curve, but it was fun.  It's essentially a dungeon-crawl where you open a door and then face what's behind it (via a card), whether a monster, a trap, or a helpful item.  Then, you can recruit the help of a friend to face things or backstab people with your own cards and whatnot.  It's hard to explain, but it was fun.  Aaron DOMINATED the game of Settlers of Catan, with a decent monopoly on like... 2 of the resources.  Then, who knew there were so many people down here that played Magic: The Gathering?!  We had 3 rounds of that go rather quickly.  As always, it was fun--and the next one is probably going to be a good one as it's an October one.  :)  Anyone who knows me knows how much I like Halloween and October.  :P

Well, I probably should try to work on that studying thing... so, until next time!
