I'm so glad you heard from him. I was getting worried too. I do know that he keeps his phone glued to his side so it's unlike him to be so out of touch.Quote:

Poor kid. He's between a rock and a hard place right now. I hope he finds the way.
Poor Sneezy :(
At least he still has options though, he can go back in January.
Not the end of the world, I hope he just sees it as a minor set back :)
Hi everyone! I'm writing from the caribbean! WOOOO!
Thanks to all for wishing me luck... but as you heard, I may be going back next week... and such.
We'll see what happens... I'll keep you guys updated!
Ps - sorry I haven't checked in lately, I just got internet today! After a week! WHOO!
Rub it in!!
And I don't mean your suntanning lotion or your sun screen.
I mean, after all I am HERE and you ARE THERE
MAKE ME CRY!!
... AND WELCOME BACK
DO ALL the MACRO/MICRO under water what's this mystery photos you want!
Sneaky little bugger. I was just on the phone with him and as usual he's multi-tasking.
He sounds good, having fun, the mosquitos are eating him alive and the humidity is getting to him but he sounds happy.
He's resigned himself to coming home, so he's treating this like a vacation. Good for him. :)
Miss him though. Tons.
I knew it was all cool! You worrying Mama you Alty Mama worrier :)
Why did he resign??
Gee I don't think I would come home if I could make it there.
Well honey ,your Mama Alty was just frantic! I can't image what she will do when the first baby leaves the nest and doesn't check in every day :)Quote:

I was a worry wart, wasn't I?
He's my buddy. I adore the little brat. Don't tell him that. ;)
NH, he didn't resign, he doesn't have the tuition. He was told he could pay monthly, they decided they wanted it all up front. They didn't tell him until he was already there. He doesn't have a choice.
The good news is that he'll probably be going back in January, August at the latest. This is not the end of his dream, it's just being put on hold for a while.
For a cushy Caribbean holiday... HMPH!Quote:

oh boy. So... the deal is that I come back in January... only problem is, I am trying dearly to bypass the first semester so that I can return with my friends. They'll let me bypass, if and only if I take courses when I'm back home and show that I'm not messing around...
... so when I get back, I have to take about 4 courses, possibly volunteer a little, run my business, and I'm trying to get an EMT graveyard shift... so that means my life won't be all peaches. It's OK though. Anything to be a doc, right?
I have to be honest, I've been absolutely hammered for the past 4 days. A bottle of rum (distilled here... 70% alcohol) is only $6. Seriously. A beer is about $1 a bottle. So, alcohol = very very cheap. Only problem is, everything else is UBER expensive. A pack of floss is $10... a bottle of juice is $8... forget food. I have yet to spend less than $10 a meal here. So... thus... I've been drunk for the past 4 days. Today, I woke up at 10am and decided that I will not drink anymore.
... little did I know that the student association was handing out free shots. Oy. So now, I'm going to take it easy tonight... do some laundry... etc.
I'm working on trying to buy a flight back to the states, but I can't find one for less than $2k... which is bad... since I flew down here for $350. So yeah, I'll be back guys!
Have fun while you are there sneez.
Stringer
Sneeze can you have a family member purchase a ticket for you from here... a rountrip would be cheaper than a one way from there... best of luck and have a BLAST while you are there. Wrap it up, let what happens there, STAY there... right?
Haha, thanks msmewiththat. I bought my tix! I'm leaving Saturday! I just got one for $800... kinda pricy, but hey... it's what I got to do I guess...
That's not bad compared to $2000 baby.Quote:

Ok... I'm a teensy tiny bit happy though. Is that so wrong? :oQuote:

I know things will work out in the end so I'm not worried about Mr. Sneezy. This is a smart, resourceful guy with a promising future so this just allows a little more time at home to get things in order. ;)
Too true!Quote:

Whoohooo come on home... enjoy it while you are there... take notes for next time, you will just be that much more prepared. Nothing wrong with a heads up. Safe travels.Quote:

I have to manage a few businesses, as well as the one my father's currently looking into purchasing... have to take about 2 courses... and possibly take up a graveyard shift as an EMT to look more favorable. At least... I'll live up to my vampire expectations...
Hey Sneezy! :)
Long time not seen, well, long time not seen you here when I'm here too! :)
Sneezy, face it, we all want you home.
We're jealous.
You get to sit on the beach all day.
We want you to suffer to become a doctor. It's only fair. ;)
So... the things I have to do to be a doc...
This morning, I woke up at 7am. Then I went to my first class for an hour... then came back, sat on the beach, threw back some beers, had a coconut rum straight from a coconut, then the island ladies fed me some marinated chicken and wild rice from banana leaves... then I went into the water, had a good time, and now I'm waiting for my second class...
Then I'll head to the gym, and then come back, and just... repeat.
Ya, feel so sorry for you.Quote:

Now I want to be a doctor. ;)
LOL! Our Sneezy sure is lucky :p
Huh. Perhaps we should all pursue medical careers in the Caribbean. :p
I say we go for it, doesn't sound hard at all. ;)Quote:

Good morning ::checks clock:: yup, good morning Stringer. :)
For some reason, I could not sleep last night... finally fell asleep at about 5 am this morning.
Congratulations Marta. She has started college, not easy since English is her second language and she hasn't been in school for quite a few years. Well she 'aced' her first semester, Psychology; she had 150 correct out of 150 questions (time limits). Advanced English, 'aced' it.
Yesterday and this morning she took the test to determine her position in 'math.' She was scared to death... guess what?? She passed... that means that she placed where she now can advance and not take some of the refresher classes that would have been necessary otherwise.
Extremely proud of this girl. She was scared sh*tless, even made herself 'sick' over taking it... she's a pretty smart cookie and pssssst... a 'looker' too... :)
So, since I didn't get to sleep until 5 am I am in bed late and the phone rings... there is this woman screaming and singing on the line, telling me that I was right she may be a little smart!?
After she calmed a bit, of course, I asked 'who is this?"
Anyway, I am pretty much on my own today as I gave her the credit card, poor girl needs to shop now. But I have the Bears game this afternoon..!
(Damn, going back to check each word for spelling is a pain... :mad::mad: Just ignore any misspelled words... K?)
That's awesome Stringer! Tell her congrats from me!
Was giving a woman a credit card to go shopping with a good idea though? :D
