Subaqua Sternal Rubs

So today was a pretty productive day… Started off the morning by sleeping in as much as possible… (till about 9am - It was a late night last night - met up with some other med students who are here early and went out.) So this morning I met with the landlord, signed the lease and paid my first month's rent. In EC$, it was a lot of cash I had to part with

Anyway after that, I gave a ride to a friend so he could shop for cars. Then to campus so I could meet Dr. Subba Rao (the faculty advisor for the Emergency Medicine Club, which I am the president of) to pick up keys and other goodies…. most importantly, a CD entitled '"How to be EMC President." I met up with the EMC treasurer there (who was here all summer, uggh) and we ran some more errands… Picking t-shirts up, trying to drop t-shirts off, food shopping, and some other random stops. After that I went to venture into St. George's "city." Had to go to the customs office to pay duty on the computer charger that I forgot at home and my parents nicely shipped to me.. (Thanks) I told them that I had already paid duty on it, since I was part of the computer that I paid duty for at the airport when I arrived here last term. I even showed them the receipt… but it didn't help. He just said I had to pay 11EC (about 3.50US) in duty since he had to deal with me. Am I really that bad a person? So after I had my official paid customs reciept, I could go to FedEx and pick up the package. However I managed to get lost, since St. George's is a bunch of 1-way alleys barely big enough for 1 car, and most of these one-ways aren't even marked. I just guessed based on which way the parked cars were pointing… I only guess wrong once So I managed to find the place and get back in one piece, but not without some nice drug dealers asking me if I wanted anything, and a bum asking me for money. After that, it was off to the Housing Department to see if I could pick up my stuff out of storage yet. (They had been promising me since Tuesday.) They promised me the RA would be at the storage place from 3-7pm. Well since it was 4:30, I figured I was cool. Wrong again… When I arrived I found 3 other students waiting, but no RA. They had been waiting an hour already, and they were having a taxi wait for them to cart their stuff back. (Mucho moolah. ) Anyways, after another hour, someone finally shows up (only 3.5 hours late). Unfortunately, my box ended up on the bottom, and all the weight cracked the bottle of laundry detergent that I had in there, getting over everything and turning the box into a soggy mess that ripped all apart. Luckily I had a couple of extra boxes in the car, and I just transferred everything.. and luckily I had everything damagable in bags… so I don't think anything got ruined After that I was off to the library for internet and email. Next is dinner — been so busy today that all I have eaten all day is 2 croissants with Nutella… mmmm… Nutella Be on the lookout tommorow for reports of my Nitrox dive to the Bianca C.
Oh well, off to dinner
