23 Days Until Africa!!

Where has March gone??

But really I might have willed it away with all of my excitement for my Africa Trip!!

The Proof that Rockstar is the MOST BAD#SS PUG EVER!!

Come on, what other pug can take on a German Shepherd AND a Pit Mix??

His dad would be so proud!

Joey and Rockstar Eat Quesadilla

So imagine me trying to sit quietly and eat and study on a sunny Saturday afternoon... Then imagine Joey and Rockstar breathing down my neck for a bite...

With pets this cute, who can refuse them?

And no worries. Cheese and bread (the main constituents of a quesadilla) are NOT harmful for a bird. Just the opposite is true, in fact, that birds, like their human guardians should have a variety of foods (not JUST seeds)...

Rockstar, however, would prefer if cheese and bread became the mainstay of his diet from this point forward...

Introducing DYLAN... My Hallmates Cockatoo...

So it is a testament to just how busy that I have been this semester that I havent even had time to properly introduce Midges animals and Rockstar's and my new neighbors. Here he is, Mr Dylan in the hallway between mine and Midge's apartment acting like a goof... And Midge's two pugs are there (butts only) standing as our ferocious watch dogs (who wouldnt be afraid of a pug?)
Dylan is a gorgeous cockatoo, an Australian species. He is quite the character as his favorite foods are hot peppers (the hotter the better). He says "Hi Dylan" and "Pretty bird" and laughs as well... And he dances to HIP HOP!! Having animals at home makes vet school that much more interesting!!

Midsemester Break Rainforest Hike...

Up to the crater we go... But this shot had to be taken of the neighboring island of Montserrat (or is it Saba?) This is right before we entered the forest to commence our hike!
Another gorgeous shot... And into the rainforest we went. It was a pretty challenging hike as far as footing goes, so I never took out my camera in order to document the trip until we got to the top (plus who wants a picture of sweaty, rainforest Krista?)

And here is the panoramic view of the crater of Mt Lamiuga, about 2 hours later! We were going to descend into the crater, but because of wet ropes, we thought it unsafe and we are going to come back in a couple of months and try again!!

37 Days Until AFRICA!!!

Imagine this is my hand... And they imagine my excitement... I am not only going to meet these guys, but I am going be doing necessary medicine on them (SO EXCITED!!)

But I have so much to do before then... FINALS! GRRRRR....

Rockstar has a Play Date...

Meet Romeo, another one of Rockstars friends... Of course you know Marty, Jens giant German Shepherd... A couple of weeks back we had a little play date with some studying (and some yummy Indian food).
But why is Rockstar playing by himself? In the beginning he was all weird and I started to think that he is just getting old...
Then Marty tried to take his toy and he became Rockstar the puppy once again!

The rest of the night we wished that he would be an old man again and relax so that we could study....

5th Semester Party (I cant believe that I am out!!)

Here at Ross, all of the semesters have different events (bakesales, parties) in order to raise money for our 7th semester banquet. With 7 semesters on island it means that there is always something to do on a Friday night. This party was for my semester - 5th and I would liked to start by saying how I CANNOT BELIEVE that I am already in 5th semester... I remember like yesterday when Kim was in 5th and now she in in clinics back in the states... TIME FLIES...

Well, our party idea was to have a pajama party... It was alot of fun to play dress up as you can see Julia and I did... But obviously the party was not cool enough for Cory here, who fell asleep atop Lindsey!
The real fun of the night was bartending for couple of hours... Well, it was nothing like Cabo back home, but what two girls cant have fun in a run down Tikki bar in the back of a house named the "pink elephant" pouring cheap booze and wearing nighties!! Jen and I, of course, had a BLAST!
