First check-in from Dominica

Hi Everyone!

I am finally feeling settled in my new apartment, Ross University and Dominica! However, I still do not know where some grocery stores are and how to get there (after my third week here). I have been busy studying, going to class, and making notes. I have been experimenting with different study patterns and tactics. I tried mediasite, different types of study products, study groups, computer note taking, and writing notes. As we have been told, medical school is completely different than undergraduate education. I wanted to try different things to really get a sense of what was going to work best for me. I am here to make the most out of my education, and if that means trial and error, that’s okay. I think I’ve found what works for me and I am going to take that pattern/schedule and run head on toward success. I would like to join an organization, but I need to see how the first test goes. Our first test is 2 weeks into the curriculum — which is THIS MONDAY (September 20th, 2010). Side note; this is also the same day House premieres. I will reward myself with that! Ken, my husband, is here and has been such a great support. I am not sure if I could do this without him.

In addition, I did get a chance to go on an Island tour. We went to the capital, Roseau, Botanical Gardens, Trafalgar Falls, and Sulfur Springs. I have attached pictures from the tour and of our apartment.
