So yesterday morning we had our Living Anatomy session on the lower limb. Of course, I am the only one wearing shorts so it was my turn to be palpated, poked and drawn on. We get down to the foot, and we can't see the tendons (big surprise). Then one of the people in my group asked if my feet were so small because of an accident. THAT WAS DEFINITELY A FIRST! I have decided that I'm going to talk to one of the Anatomy professors to find out why my feet are so small. I have discovered that there is definitely something wrong with them in my studies of the foot. Yesterday afternoon we finished up our nine lecture series in Biochem on fat. It was quite interesting, but there is just way too much information! After class I grabbed dinner and then went home and studied Biochem there. I decided to be good and pass on the pirate party last night. Lately it seems when I go out, I somehow manage to see the sunrise so I decided against it. Sure enough, my crew was out just about all night. Those crazy kids! They did have a lot of fun so I kinda wish that I had gone. They went to street meat, which is the part I'm most sad about. I haven't been in forever! I'm sure my local friends are wondering where I have gone. Oh well. Today has been a fun filled day of studying. I am currently working on Embryology which is just so boring. At least we have a three day weekend. Monday is Grenada's Labor (or Labour as they spell it here) Day. We actually have the next three Mondays off! Then after that, it's finals and I'm outta here. I can't wait! Mrs. B, I am anxiously awaiting my chicken lizards and whooped potatoes! HAHA! Alright, well let me get back to this Embryology. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

dear Melissa, We have a new restaurant in Slidell. It is on Gause Boulevard. Isn't that an appropriate name for a street with two hospitals. Back to the new restaurant. It is the Saigon Chineese Noodle Soup Cajun French! With a name like that I'd expect to find a finger in the gumbo' No extra charge pappa san! Love, Dad
