Merry Christmas to all,
I am currently blogging from the Munich airport as I have a layover here for 7 hours (currently in hour number 4). I had a lovely German breakfast here this morning and managed to get a little studying done too. I really can’t believe that I am on my way home. The time absolutely flew by. I feel that this break from school came at just the right time as I am in need to get away for a bit, the last 2 months were really taxing and gave me a good reality check about the demand of dental school. My academics are still in good standing although my last Polish test did not go as well as it could have. After the Christmas break is over we immediately have 2 huge exams so unfortunately I will be spending most of the Christmas break studying for these. Regardless, I will be home with my family and friends and that is what I am looking forward to the most.
Things I am looking forward to:
1. Home cooking with actual good tasting food!
2. Driving once again
3. Playing with the dogs
4. Not waking up to sirens every single morning
While I’m home I have a very busy schedule. I intend on making visiting the Fredericton Dental Centre a priority. So for all of my favorite hygienists and assistants reading this……I will see you soon!!! I also plan on see my man David A. and a nerd burgler named Leah on a little road trip I’m planning.
My mustache turned out to be a fairly decent success! I raised 50 bucks toward prostate/ testicular cancer research and looked like a complete pedophile while doing it. To be honest I was actually quite impressed with how well I could grow a mustache, I expected a lot worse than I did. Below is a pic 5 minutes before I shaved it off.
Oh and quick update on the Switzerland trip we are planning. Accommodations were booked a week ago so things are really coming together. As we were coming into Munich this morning I am pretty sure I could see the Alps (whether it was the Swiss alps is yet to be determined). It looked beautiful.
Shout outs!
Last night our crew that we hang out with went out to a nice restaurant and exchanged our secret Santa presents. I have been very lucky in the sense that I have established a really great network of friends in Poznan. Given the fact that I came to Poland all by myself and did not know anyone, I have been fortunate to make friendships with some really great people within my program. You know who you are so a big shout out being sent your way. Wish all you guys the merriest of Christmas’.
It has been long overdue so I need to shout out my close bro Jade Porter. Thanks for skyping me once every 2 months. Seriously though, wishing you good luck on the application to U of T and Western. I am sure things will work out the way you want them to.
Shout out to John Nall. Big thanks for helping me install a shower in my flat. Really appreciate it bro, hope you and Anns have a great time in France and that you have a great Christmas.
I’m on cloud 9, can’t wait to be done this 21 hour trip and just speechless to be with the fam again. That’s all I have for ya’s.
Peace and Love. Merry Christmas.
