beach day

Since Monday is labour day here in Antigua I do not have classes so we were granted a 3 day weekend. this being said a group of the people in my apartment complex hoped in a cab and ventured to the beach for the day. Yes i do live on the beach but our beach is very small. We went to a large beach where we were able to play some volleyball and enjoy some new scenery. The weather was not the greatest as it was cloudy all day with brief periods of rain. It was been cloudy and rainy here for the past 2-3 days now. they say the rain season is about to begin. Rain here is not like rain at home it makes it hotter and more humid instead of cooling things down.
After spending the day at the beach a group of us went to see the movie The Avengers. This was my first experience at the local cinema which turned out to be really nice. I almost forgot I was in Antigua. It was surprisingly very cheap. My ticket, popcorn, soda, and m&ms were around $11USD all together. I enjoyed the movie as well. It was nice to get out of my rut of a routine and do something new and different. I can see that being a normal escape for me in the future.
Just hammering along with my studies this next exam is going to be extremely difficult as we are getting into all of the metabolic pathways in biochemistry. I am trying to keep up and work ahead so i am not to pressure in the home stretch. Just a few more weeks to go and I will be 25% done on this rock!!
Until next time...
