Hello people. I’ve finally finished all the papers and everything and I can finally enjoy being back home in the Bahamas. We don’t go to the beach this time of year because it’s too cold. I just thought I would take a break from enjoying the Christmas and say ‘hi’. It’s 2 am and I’m [...]

Useless information of the day: Did you know that “the Bahamas” is one of the few countries that you have to put the “the” in front of? You can say I’m going to Jamaica, or America, or Canada, but you can’t say I’m going to Bahamas for some reason. It just doesn’t sound right. You [...]

I travelled yesterday morning on an AirCanada jet bound for the Bahamas. As you may have figured out, I have arrived safely. The weather here is lovely, but that’s like saying the sky is blue. Compared to -10° any type of tropical weather (except, of course, a hurricane) is better… But it is nice to [...]

Got the ticket just now! I’m coming home! It won’t be a white Christmas for me. I’ll tell you more in a minute. ******* I’m still super excited. Although I am starting to get a bit sleepy. But hey I’ll take 30° compared to -10° anyday of the week. I haven’t been home in a [...]

Now that the main pain of my life has departed (Dropped the “hard-copy” off under prof’s door) I turn to other annoyances. This academic life sucks the juices out of you. Do you think that I want to spend my time writing very long answers to unimportant questions? But there are still a few assignments [...]

Wasn’t that lovely? After two weeks, I’m finally done. I emailed it to the prof this morning. (I hope that he got it, he hasn’t been getting my emails recently…) Haven’t gone to sleep yet, but believe me I will head there in a few minutes. Now to finish the other paper and head out [...]

Back to the weary world of the english essay. I’m making progress though. I have almost 3000 words cobbled together, now all I have to do is to make it flow and answer the blessed question… That sounds nice doesn’t it. I hope to finish it tonight. And when I say tonight, I mean by [...]

I’m back on my sleep all day, up all night schedule. Seeing as there are more night time hours now in the winter, that’s not very encouraging. I’m still not done with the essay. I have 2000 words though so that’s not too bad. I guess I’ll finish it tomorrow… But I really need to [...]

The semester continues to wind down. Finished the Intro to Caribbean Studies end-of-term today. That was nice. Usually this time I’m in tutorial, thankfully that’s cancelled since we had the exam. It went well. I await the results… I got a bit of an extension on the Lit paper. Most everyone in the class got [...]

It looks like its going to be raining alllll day today. Not too pretty. Just came from History of the Caribbean. We are now up to the Haitian revolution. I’m so intruiged by that event. Former slaves coming together to beat the super-powers of the day. Inspiring. Of course when we think of the situation [...]
