Sorry for the long gap in between blogs. I'm finding it really difficult to keep updating the blog weekly given the academic demands I have in front of me. I have tests out the ying yang as of late. Our DDS class is going home for break on December 9th so from now until then faculty has decided to make it hell for us.
The motivation to get me through the next couple weeks is the thought of rolling into the Saint John airport for sure! I can't wait to get away from this place for a little bit to be quite honest. I'm having a good time and all don't get me wrong but I am just ready to be with my family for a little bit. Ok enough whining I need to give you guys something interesting.
My friend Ben skyped me a week or so ago and surprised me with a printed itinerary for him to come to Poznan during or week break in February. This is exciting for 2 reasons; 1 because I get to show my best friend my digs here in Poznan and 2 because we will undoubtedly be checking out the swiss alps on our snowboards. My financial adviser (dad) wont be too thrilled about this but it will be a once in a lifetime experience and I'll be able to cross it off my bucket list. Very Very Excited!
Next, I'm pretty sure sushi has become my new favorite food. Hard to believe but for some reason I have been having cravings for it ever since I first tried it. Really weird and I can't explain it for the life of me.
I got to take home my tooth models I have been working on for the last several weeks! Check them out below. (Obviously the teeth in Brown wax are the ones I did):
My Mustache:
As mentioned in a previous blog, I have stuck with it and have grown the mustache through the month of November. I absolutely hate it and it annoys the hell out of me. I am hoping now that there is visual proof of the stache that people who see this will donate 5 bucks to my movember.com page: http://mobro.co/scottkennedy29 The proof is below......
Next, I wanted to tell everyone about my Halloween. Myself and 3 others went to a place called the Dark Restaurant. There is 3 of them in the world apparently so it was a big deal to us. The idea behind it is that you walk in and the waiter sits everyone down and asks each person what they don't like or are allergic to. After he gets that info he escorts you into the dining room. The dining room is entirely in pitch black and the waiter uses night vision goggles to navigate you to your seat.....Seriously! We all sat down and can't see anything. They serve you a 3 course meal and the idea behind it is that you eliminate your sense of sight and your other senses of smell, taste and even touch (because you have to use your hands to eat at some points) are heightened. At the end of the meal the waiter takes you back out into the lighted area and he asks you what you think they served you. John and myself had a salad with roasted chicken and some other flavorful thing for our starter. Our main was steak with sesame potatoes with pumpkin. The girls were given a different meal than John and I and their main course was rabbit!!! The going joke of the night was that they ate thumper. Our dessert was chocolate cake with bananas and strawberry sauce. Overall it was a great meal and a really cool experience, only downfall is that it is ridiculously expensive to eat there. So I felt that to be a great alternative to trick-or-treating.
That is really all thats been new and exciting here on my end. Like I said, I have been stupidly busy with school so there hasn't been a lot of time for other things. I will make sure to squeeze in a blog before I take off to go home and will post a final picture of the mustache as well. Don't forget to donate to prostate cancer http://mobro.co/scottkennedy29
Bye for now guys! Thanks for reading. Video blogs to come.....I think.
