1st 2 weeks at UWI (Condensed)

During the first two weeks of school, I've (in no particular order):
  • seen UWI's incompetence (their bus service et al)
  • walked great distances (to catch bus in hot sun) and got 2 shades darker
  • toured Bim by bus and sea- saw how the rich live with yatchs and US$6 mil homes, and saw really nice views of the island.
  • gone to church once and saw someone who I met in the steelband back home (that was a surprise)
  • saw my dad
  • bonded with classmates- went to beach yesterday (and yes, I went in the water) and went to town couple times
  • had a slice of milk-cake, rice and bean and stew chicken that Belizians enjoy
  • presented (along with two other classmates) to 2 lecturers and class and was graded on it.
  • thought I lost my purse but didn't
  • went on the beach to save turtles- we only found some wandering hatchlings and put them in the sea and we weren't able to save some eggs from construction cause we couldn't find them.
  • finished the week with an A in one course and the hope of more to come

Ah, a mixed bag. Life is like 'a box of chocolates', right?

Congrats on your first 'A'. Hope you get many more.

BTW, what does milk-cake taste like?

Yeah, i found out when i finished my 1st degree that UWIs incompetence was not exclusive to Mona. St. Augustine kept up the same foolishness, so i don't see y BIM would be any different.

Different country, same school.

Looks like you've been having a blast.

Milk cake is like plain cake (no the soft-mushy one) and a milk "creme" spread on top. The creme is basically condensed milk that's been heated for hours til it turns brown.

Sounds extra sweet, but interesting.
