Week 5, Over!

Hey, all!

This was another relatively uneventful week, but I still managed to have some fun. Week 5 of this semester is over! In the next 2 weeks, classes will be having their assessments, if they have them. I had an online quiz due for my Australian Politics class this week. It was pretty simple, but the professor said it was meant to be. I have another test for my Concepts of Asia class and a pretty big test for my Fundamentals of Anatomy class in Week 7. That'll be the end of that until towards the end of the semester. After Week 7, we will have a one week break, in which I will more than likely work on essays that week. All of my classes require so much reading throughout the week, I haven't been able to do reading (and taking notes) for any of my essays. Hopefully, one of these weekends before break, I can start reading and taking notes for the essays.

Thursday was very busy (as always) as I have 3 classes that day and my Anatomy team and I decided to meet up the hour between my tutorial and our lab to go over our project and who should do what. This was also a very rainy day as we were getting some of the weather from Cyclone Debbie, which hit north of where I am. As a result, it got a little flooded and I ended up taking my shoes and socks off because the water was going through my shoes and soaking my feet and socks. I do not want to (nor do I need to) get sick again- I've had plenty of that this semester already! Not to mention, it's just annoying walking in wet shoes. Also, for the first time, I saw snails! I know not everyone would find this fascinating, but they were all over the place! I even got a little sad when I saw one that was stepped on, but then, I have always loved animals and feel like there should be another way than killing them. I guess it happens on accident as well though...

I managed to stay mostly ahead of my classes this week, which was a nice feeling. I feel like Week 6 will be another "on-time" week as all of my classes have pretty lengthy readings this week. I hope to be able to get through them quickly and still be ahead so I can start studying for Anatomy and doing these essays.

I bought these coloring books that are supposed to help with anatomy and physiology. I hope they really do help! A friend even suggested to make copies of the pages that have more difficult information on them so I can redo them later. I'll just be taking a picture of them (so I can print it out later, or just do it on my computer-- maybe) as I don't really have access to a printer/copier. At least not one that is free.

Today (Saturday), I was able to be a little social with a huge group for one of my clubs. It made me realize that I socialize much better with smaller groups. I had more fun talking with the smaller group of executives (of the club) than actually participating in a huge activity. I'm tired now, but it was a pretty good day.

Until next time!

^ I managed to remember to get a video of the nightlife sounds! The bats here are super active (you can easily hear them every night) and they are also pretty big, I would estimate almost a 2 foot wingspan! Though, I haven't really seen one closely to say for sure, they are pretty big!

A flower I saw that had bloomed. It was the first one I've seen in a while. I even took a few steps backward so I could take a picture of it.

 

 ^^ A snail! The first one I came across. I wanted to take a picture of the snails I saw, but I was always in a bit of a rush and the rain was a tad annoying.

The temperature blanket I am crocheting. This picture is at 6 weeks done!

These are the coloring books I bought! Hopefully they help!
