New pictures: http://brookeroebuck.shutterfly.com/ New email: bmroebuck@gmail.com Hi, Everyone!! I hope this blog finds everyone well. I have uploaded some new pictures - they are from scuba diving, my 25th birthday, as well as some miscellaneous things. The scuba diving has been a lot of fun and some of the pictures are amazing - they were taken by one of the dive masters I dove with. These particular pictures are from a beach called Douglas Bay - the coral is beautiful there and it's brimming with small fish. I also had a great time celebrating my 25th birthday - my parents bought me a whole ice cream cake that I get to look forward to devouring when I get home, and I went out to a very nice dinner with a bunch of friends. Dinner was awesome, ... read more

New pictures: http://brookeroebuck.shutterfly.com Saturday, Sept 6 5:28am Location: Terminal B, Logan Airport Well well well… Break has come and gone and now it’s time to return to the island. DOH. I haven’t written for some time, so let’s take a trip to the past and relive some of what I’ve been up to. Hmmm… studying, studying, and… perhaps more studying?? Yeah, exciting, huh. The last two weeks of school were pretty trying - we had quite a few exams all in a row, not to mention the distracting excitement of returning home. I really didn’t do much of anything but study, eat, and sleep. And let me tell ya, that’s not a good combination for a beach body… I do have a bit of an exciting trip to talk about - the day before I returned ... read more

Hi, Everyone I've just uploaded some new pictures from the Women's "Powderpuff" football game and a couple of the dubious gigantic spider that decided to take residence on the mosquito net over my bed.

Hello, Everyone It’s 3:20pm on Monday, July 14th and I have just returned from taking mini 2. I think it went okay, but we’ll see what the grades say. I’ve been extremely busy over these past couple of weeks, ESPECIALLY last week - it was filled with honors meetings, EMS call, Histology Lab exam, class, and then studying for mini 2 - it was a hellish week. But now it’s Monday at 3:20, which means that mini 2 is done, which means that I am FREEEEE until tomorrow morning at 8am when classes resume again… Freedom is bliss. And what shall I do with my freedom? Well, I will share with you the first thing that I did - got FOOD! What kind of food might you ask? Well, one hand I used to eat my ... read more

June 19, 2008, 10am Hey, Everyone! It's been a while, I know. My anatomy practical exam and mini 1 required my attention. So how did they go?? They went well. The anatomy practical was pretty hard and mini 1 wasn't too bad. What is mini 1? Well, it's basically the first exam of the semester where all of your subjects are tested. So instead of having five separate tests for five separate subjects, we have one BIG test on one day. YEAH... So I've basically been living in books and my notes. I don't think I've ever been so tired in my life. I am still working on my sleep recovery. How did I make it through? Wellll, I basically LIVED off of Monster energy drinks, no lie. Now, I kind of use this as a ... read more

There are some experiences that are just PRICELESS

Well, another week and a half or so has gone by and I have now been in Dominica for about a month. It's weird to think that a month has gone by already, but at the same time, my concept of time is lost. Yesterday feels like ten years ago. Soooo... what have I been up to? Needless to say, I have been extremely busy. I have been in class, at meetings, studying, playing soccer, and.... I think that's about it. Classes are going well and I did my first dissection this past week - my group dissected the suboccipital triangle in the back of the head. Essentially, if you feel the back of your head for a little bony structure and then move your fingers down to your spine, that's where we dissected. How was ... read more
