. . . for a great new year! Today is my last day here in Georgia. This afternoon my parents will accompany me to Jacksonville, Florida, and then tomorrow morning at 7:00 I will fly back to St. Maarten and get ready for an exciting new semester of medical school. Hopefully, I can [...]

My repaired digital camera came in the mail today, so I will try to take some pictures from now until the 31st. The bad news is that my rechargeable batteries are almost dead, and I left my recharger on that damn island. I hope to take a few pictures though.

Tomorrow my father and I are going to Atlanta for a brief visit. I will see my really cool uncle and my sister and brother in law and some other people as well. I’ll be back in Douglas on the 30th and then I will spend New Year’s Eve in Jacksonville, FL. I fly [...]

Just kidding. . . No, seriously. . .
Alright, alright! From my family to yours, I want to wish everyone in the freakin’ world a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, or whatever you like to celebrate today. I hope to watch some basketball and football games today. Peace!

Early this morning my uncle passed away due to a heart attack he suffered a few days ago. His full name is there in the title, but I happily knew him as Ram Chithappa or just simply “Ram.” I am very fortunate to have spent some time with him during my visit to Inida a [...]

It was nice that the people at the German department sent this great newsletter to my parents’ address [...]

My digital camera is being repaired right now, so for the rest of my trip there will be no pictures taken unfortunately. It’s really too bad because I have had a great weekend in Athens, GA and am right now at my sister and brother-in-law’s house in Atlanta. This past weekend I visited some old [...]

Got back to my hometown of Douglas, Georgia last night at around one in the morning. This was of course after a drive from Jacksonville, Florida (My Dad picked me up at the JAX airport.) Mom was excited to see me, and she told me I lost a lot of weight. Hopefully, I can gain [...]

I just finished the last exam (Biochemistry) of my first semester of medical school. What can I say? I’m exhausted but at the same time really happy that the first semester is over. To be honest I really don’t know what to feel now, because usually after an exam it is customary to take a [...]

Sorry that I don’t have much new to say right now, but there is one more week and in the middle of that three more exams to write. Next Tuesday I will be back in Georgia for the holidays. Next Monday after my last exam I will write a nice review and retrospect [...]
