Immunology Quiz and Meal Prep Sunday

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Finals are quickly approaching, we suddenly had a immunology quiz (more on that later), and the term is wrapping up. Today, I thought I would do a post on our immunology quiz that we had last week and a few meal prep ideas.

Immunology Quiz

The class was anticipating a quiz but didn't anticipate it to be in class. So, when we found out about that piece of information, the class frantically started studying for the quiz. The professors agreed that it would be beneficial for the class to take a timed, in-class quiz to better prepare for the finals. While I was studying for immunology, I simply did not understand why the professors would suddenly decide to give a quiz of this sort. In retrospect, they were correct. If it wasn't for the quiz, I would not have made time to re-study the 10-12 lectures. Now, a week after the quiz and 2 weeks before the final, I am so glad that reviewing those 10-12 lectures for the final will be much easier. I have plenty of other studying that I have to complete as well! We have a new professor for immunology this term so it was unclear how the questions would be structured on the quiz. However, as usual, I went through each lecture at least 4 times before the quiz and briefly looked over the Complement flow chart I had made pre-midterm (so glad I looked at the chart). I also found it helpful to make a chart for all the cytokines and the immunoglobulin lectures. For future Term 2 students, start memorizing cytokines early. The material builds up very quickly! 

Meal Prep Sunday

Last week I decided to make 2 dishes for the week. The first is a dish I experimented with a few weeks ago and it turned out great. So, I made it again. It is a spicy Chinese eggplant dish with a hint of garlic and ginger. The recipe recommends green onions, but I used regular onions which worked out well too. I also added green peppers to the dish to prevent them from going bad this week! This dish has become one of my favorites. The second dish I made was a potato and onion preparation which I eat with bread or naan or tortillas. Although I got the idea from my mom a long time ago, it was my first time making it myself. I'm so glad it turned out better than expected. J and I cooked together last weekend and it took us about an hour to finish both dishes. 


Only 3 more weeks until we are back in the US for the holidays!!! Count down has officially begun! :) 

A shout out to our deans who came and spoke to Term 2 students yesterday about a number of administrative and student-related issues. Thank you!

Hope everyone is having a great week! SGU students, only a few more weeks to go! Keep up the hard work! :)

Term 2 Midterms: Neuroscience

Warning: Long Post... Sorry!

Last midterm of the week was neuroscience! The neuroscience course is organized into modules. 7 modules make up the entire class. We had 4 modules worth of material on the midterm. The topics on the midterm were:
1) Neuroanatomy
2) Cellular Neuroscience
3) Developmental Neuroscience
4) Sensory Systems

Out of the 4 big topics, sensory systems had the most amount of lectures and most amount of questions on the exam. Developmental neuroscience consisted of about 4 lectures. Neuroanatomy and cellular neuroscience were taught early during the term and were covered on the unified quiz. Out of my three scores for midterms, surprisingly, neuroscience was my highest. Here are a few methods I studied for the exam and a couple of tips for future students.

Neuroanatomy: 
1) Buy a hard copy of the Neuroscience atlas. I used the Haines 8th edition and would highly recommend it for future students. I think SGU recommends the 9th edition of the atlas, but majority of my friends have the 8th and it works well too.
2) Go through the atlas and highlight the structures you need to know. I highlighted the pages as I prepared for small group discussion on a weekly basis. When it came time to prepare for the exam, it became a lot easier to flip through the atlas and quickly review the structures.

Lectures: 
1) Essential Notes! Essential Notes! Essential Notes!!! They are a life-saver for this class. The lecture slides are good, but the essential notes are gold!
2) Pre-read for the sensory system lectures. Sensory lectures are a lot of material that are compiled into a 50 minute overview. If you have pre-read the essentials, lecture will be more meaningful. I don't usually pre-read for all classes, but pre-reading for neuroscience helped me!
3) Red Glass Test: This is a clinically relevant test that is used evaluate a patient's visual field. It comes up during the vision lectures in the sensory module. I, personally, had a lot of trouble understanding this topic because I learned it incorrectly the first time. So, for future students, make sure you understand this topic well. We had about 2 or 3 questions on this on our midterm.
4) Developmental: This term, we had a visiting professor who taught 4 lectures on developmental neuroscience. Do not get too bogged down by all the small details. The questions on the exam are going to be straight forward. Think of developmental neuroscience as a story. To grasp the material thoroughly, I made a concept map.
5) Cellular: I relied on the essential notes and lectures made a lot of sense.
6) Pay attention in small group discussion because there are questions that will pop up on the midterm solely based on material covered in discussion session.
7) Do all the questions online (Sakai).
8) Sensory pathways: I drew each and every one out in different colors and then put it up on my wall. I ran through each of the pathways at least once a day until it was solid in my head.
9) During the sensory lectures, each pathway will go through parts of the brainstem. Some pathways are lateral. Some pathways are medial. I went through Haines atlas and highlighted where each pathway runs in each cross section of the brainstem.

This was a very quick exam. Typically we get a little over a minute/question in most classes. However, the neuroscience department added a lot of experimental questions (questions that the professors want to see how the students perform on so they can potentially add it to future exams), which are worth no points for our term. We had about 75 seconds per question. I am not sure if this will be the case for future terms. If it is, future neuroscience students, make sure you pace yourself. Neuroscience is a lot of material, but I think the clinical tests that are performed to determine a patient's neurological function are quite interesting. Our first module post-midterm is motor. Speaking of which, I should probably review today's lectures. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day! :)

Term 2 Midterms: Genetics/Immunology

Exam #2 during midterm week was Genetics/Immunology which are combined into one class called MIMG. The exam consisted of 80% genetics material and 20% immunology material. The teaching team for genetics is essentially the same professors that taught biochemistry during Term 1. I enjoyed the lectures from majority of the professors of biochemistry. So, I was glad that they lectured again in genetics. In addition, we had about 2 weeks of immunology before the midterm. I, personally, felt that the professor introduced a lot of new material just a few days before the midterm, which was a little overwhelming. The following are a few methods that I used to study for the unified and midterm. I hope these methods help future students succeed in MIMG.

1) Study the genetics slides like biochemistry slides. Genetics questions are going to be application- or fact-based questions focusing on the lecture slides.
2) The Patterns of Inheritance lectures were about 4 lectures and it is important to know each of the genetic principles that were introduced. For example, heteroplasmy is a term that is associated only with mitochondrial diseases. That is an association that is important to keep in mind. An exam question may state, MELAS is associated with which of the following principles? The answer choices will be 4-5 genetic principles and one of the answer choices will be heteroplasmy. So, the student needs to be able to identify that MELAS is a mitochondrial disease and associate heteroplasmy with mitochondrial diseases. This is a relatively easy type of question. It can become more challenging if the questions only gives a brief description of the disease or a list of symptoms and students will have to identify that it is a mitochondrial disease.
3) Make up mnemonics for the list of autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked recessive diseases that we were instructed to know. One of the first things I did during the exam was write the mnemonics at the top of my white board (Each student is given a small white board during the exam).
4) I reviewed the molecular diagnostic lecture about 5 times because I knew it would appear again and again on the midterm. In addition, I skimmed through the problem set for this lecture.
5) Do all the online/sakai questions.
6) I skimmed through the problem sets for the lectures that I thought were challenging.
7) Immunology: We have a new course director and professor covering the immunology material. The lectures pre-midterm are straight forward, except for the complement lecture. We had less amount of time to review the complement lectures. So, I made a big, fat concept map of the complement pathway, associated deficiencies, and diseases about 36 hours before the midterm. That map, of course, went up on my wall for about 24 hours before the exam. The immunology questions on the midterm were either straight forward or very difficult. In retrospect, I probably should have started memorizing the complement charts a few days earlier while I was studying for physiology.

I hope this helps future students prepare for MIMG. SGU students have a 4-day weekend for Thanksgiving. So, I hope everyone is having a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend! :)

J's Mental Burnout & Exam Week

Midterms didn't go as well for me as they did for N. I did OK in neuroscience and genetics, but I need to do a lot better in physiology. The bright side is that I did well enough that I don't need to think about deceling. Aside from physiology being a hard test, I think a big reason for my poor performance was anxiety. I just didn't "feel" like taking the exam, if that makes sense. In fact I was really dreading it in the week leading up to the exam. There are several reasons for this, and to some extent they reflect what student life is like at SGU.

One huge disadvantage of attending such a large medical school is that you're around so many other stressed out medical students. Some of my friends were really negative leading up to exam week, gossiping about how the midterm was incredibly difficult last term, how many people deceled, etc. Others were so positive and overconfident that they came off as jerks. In fact, my roommate told me on several occasions how he completed over 400 practice questions for physiology.

No matter how disciplined you are as a student, hearing these kinds of things day in and day out does affect your mental health. I felt stressed out, I wasn't getting restful sleep, I was downing 4 cups of coffee per day, I hadn't gone to the gym in a week and a half, and my diet largely consisted of heat and eat food that I bought at IGA. I'm pretty sure that if I had centered myself mentally, I could have done a lot better on my exam. SGU isn't out to get you, neither are your professors, or your friends....medical school is just hard, and you can really be your own worst enemy during exam week. For finals, I'll really be trying to work on this aspect of myself. I'll let you know how it goes! -J

Term 2 Midterms: Physiology

To those that read this blog, I am sorry for the lack of posts for the past few weeks. We have been preoccupied with midterm week. Last week consisted of some ups, some downs, coffee, minimal sleep, and a lot of studying. On top of studying, SGU true blue campus faced intermittent internet loss and interruption of electricity for a few hours which led our AC to reset to off for a few days. I am so so glad that all those problems have been fixed. Although midterm week started off rough, it ended well! :)

After midterms, most students evaluate their scores and try to make changes on how they study to prepare adequately for finals. So, I thought I would dedicate the next few post to tips for term 2 midterms, how I prepared, and changes in my study plan for finals. Today's post will be focused on the Physiology midterm. I hope to have a post up about each one of the midterms by the end of the week! :)

Physiology
Physiology was our first exam of the week. The exam covered the first 5 units of material which include the following: cell, autonomic nervous system (ANS), pharmacology, muscle, and cardiac physiology. Our class accidentally got instant feedback on a score, which caused a lot of anxiety and anger. However, we had to remember that physiology was only one exam and we still had 2 more major exams (Genetics/Immunology and Neuroscience) for the rest of the week. Here are a few tips and methods I used to study for my physiology exam.

1) Cell, ANS, and pharmacology were all on the Unified quiz for Physiology. So, I thoroughly studied these units for a previous test. Therefore, it was easier to review for the midterm.
2) ANS: I had a huge table of all the drugs that we needed to know and put it up on my wall in my room. Because it was up on my wall, I looked at the chart several times a day and eventually I was able to identify names, functions, and category of drug. This is super helpful to learn the material because some of the drugs are applicable for the cardiac material as well.  For future term 2 students, the drug list is discussed in lecture only a few days before the unified quiz. So, start memorizing early.
3) Heart cycle: I hand drew a Wigger's diagram with each line in a different color and put it up on my wall in my room. A few days before the midterm, I read through the essential notes for that specific lecture to confirm that I had covered everything.  I also drew a complete pressure/volume graph with the potential changes that can take place (Clearly, my wall looked pretty snazzy last week, haha)
4) GRAPHS GRAPHS GRAPHS!!! I did not count how many graphs we had on our test, but WOW, it was a lot. KNOW GRAPHS.
5) I did a ton of MOTO questions. There are over 600 questions for the cardiac section. For future students, start working on those early.
6) For some reason, the material that was covered during the muscle section seemed like a blur compared to the amount of time that was spent on the cardiac lecture. So, I had to go over the muscle material quite a few times. I made a huge chart for muscle to help me understand the similarities and differences between skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
7) Not only understand the content in each lecture, but know how to apply it to different clinical situations.
8) Sakai quizzes (practice quizzes that the department posts online) were also helpful initially to assess my understanding on specific topics.

Based on my midterm score, am I going to change anything before finals?
Although I did fine on the midterm, I still have areas that I want to improve upon before the final. So, my two key areas of focus are starting practice questions earlier and paying very very close attention to graphs that are highly emphasized in class.

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions. Our next post will be about the Genetics/Immunology midterm and hopefully will be up shortly. Hope everyone's week is going great! :)

J's Term 2 Update

In all honesty, term 2 has been bittersweet. On one hand, I'm not running around as much with labs, small groups and DES sessions (peer tutoring on campus). However I'm spending a lot more time at a desk learning one concept after another. Although it's good on one hand because I'm able to learn quickly and move on to the next topic, it's a lot more secluded and independent even if you schedule time to work in groups with other students.

Physiology is really a fun class. We go into detail about some not-so-obvious questions about the body. I took a physio class during my masters degree, but I've noticed that it's completely different here at SGU. It's not enough to know the concepts, you've got to completely master them, be able to answer questions directed from many different angles, and to top it off you've got to learn drugs and therapies that treat disease. It's heavy, but like I said if you are curious about the body, this class will be satisfying. In addition, Dr. Clunes is an awesome lecturer.

Neuroscience is another awesome class. The diseases we learn about in neuroscience are either incredibly odd or incredibly severe. Either way, this class will leave you interested. The content itself is not difficult to grasp, however the exams can be worded in tricky ways, so remember to have good test taking technique.

Like we mentioned elsewhere on the blog, Genetics and Immunology are taught in one class called MIMG (medical immunology and medical genetics). So far, this class has been super boring for me. Basically, genetics is like a continuation of biochemistry from first term. You just have to "know" the content on the slides and be able to apply a few key concepts (like what genetic test to order, and what probabilities of inheritance are). I really dislike this class for this reason - I feel like the faculty know that everything we need to know is basically on the slides, so they (with the exception of Dr. Upadhaya) aren't as effective as the other professors at delivering memorable lectures that stick with you. However I'm trying extra hard to do well in genetics because it's becoming more important for US board exams.

More updates to come. Have a good weekend! -J

Floods, Fire alarms, and oh yea Unifieds

This week has been one of a kind. On top of studying for unifieds, the fire alarm went off in my apartment building at 4 am last week. This has happened before, but it usually was in the day time. So, students were either in class and not sleeping. Hopefully the 4 am building fire alarm doesn't happen again! On top of that, we had a leak that started a few weeks ago and progressively got worse and worse in the suite. The weekend before unifieds, my roommates and I had to deal with the problem to prevent complete flooding of our apartment. Thank you to the housekeeping team who mopped our floor multiple times and the maintenance department who FINALLY fixed the problem!

Ok, enough of that "negative nancy" talk. Let's talk about unifieds. We had unifieds last Monday for Genetics, Neuroscience, and Physiology. For term 2, unifieds are 20 questions each and 30 minutes per exam. For neuroscience and physiology, unifieds are worth 10 points. So, essentially each question on those exams are worth 0.5 of a point. For genetics, the score on unifieds is worth 20 points. So, each question is worth 1 point. As stressful as they are, unifieds are a nice way for students to determine whether their method of studying is working out well for them. If not, students have time to go see advisors/professors and revise their study strategy. Personally, unifieds went well. Better than expected, but I definitely have areas that I want to improve upon before midterms.

Last weekend was a complete study weekend before exams. So, I did not have enough time to cook for the week, but I did finish grocery shopping. After my exam on Monday, I was sleep-deprived, tried, and hungry. So, making stir fry was the first thing that popped into my head. I made a large batch of stir fry with beans, baby corn, green pepper, and onion. Delicious!

I'm so glad it is Friday! Aren't you? Happy Friday! :)



Unifieds, La Boulangerie, and Meal Prep

Last weekend was just a blur. On Friday, I made a list of things that I wanted to get done before Monday morning. Although I studied majority of the weekend (because we have unifieds coming up in less than a week (ekkk!!)), I felt like Sunday night just popped up suddenly. I like to do my second if not third review over the weekend following the lecture. Last week, there was a lot of pharacodynamics and pharacokinetics material that was covered in Physiology. Integrating concepts and analyzing the material took majority of the time. Although tired, this week is going well so far. We have a few more days of lectures before unifieds. So, my peers and I are trying to manage the material.

La Boulangerie
Despite have a study weekend, I did manage to take a study break on Friday to try out an Italian restaurant called La Boulangerie. To my friends who recommended this restaurant, thank you! The food was delicious and it was just what I needed after a long week! The restaurant is known for their pasta dishes. The service compared to other restaurants in Grenada was fast and the quality of food was good. We will definitely be eating at La Boulangerie again!


Meal Prep
On Saturday, we finished grocery shopping and I cooked on Sunday evening. I made an Indian dish called Chole for dinners this week. I am planning on eating it with flatbread similar to pita bread called naan. In addition, I am planning on making a second dish late in the week so that I don't have to worry about cooking right before unifieds. 

Hope everyone is having a great week! 




Neurogeneticophysiology and Meal Prep

Yes, I am aware that I made up the word, but neurogeneticophysiology basically describes my week. Last week, we began the three core classes for term 2: Neuroscience, Genetics, and Physiology. I think all three classes are really interesting, so I am looking forward to the classes. Last week we had our regular 4 hours of lectures per day and then a 3 hour clicker/practice question session on Friday. This week, we have the same schedule in addition to 2 small group discussions. So, the work load is definitely building up! 

In terms of the 3 hour clicker/practice question session, I have heard mixed reviews about it. Some argue that it is a waste of time especially after 4 hours of of lecture on Fridays. Others say that it is beneficial to evaluate yourself at the end of the week to identify what to focus on during the weekend study. Personally, I think I fall somewhere in between the two extremes. I appreciate the fact that the school has implemented these sessions to provide us with more practice/USMLE-styled questions. However, I think it would be helpful if the instructors either provide more questions or explain the correct answer choice thoroughly during the sessions. I have to say, though, I did tailor my weekend reviews based on concepts that I missed during the clicker session. The clicker sessions are also motivating me to study harder during the week and attend the sessions prepared. 

Besides trying to keep up with the course material, I also meal prepped last weekend. I made an awesome Mexican rice dish with black beans, corn, onion, tomato, and green bell pepper. I cooked the veggies with spices on Saturday night and stored them in containers. Then, every night for dinner, I quickly mix together some rice and veggies, add some spices to make it spicy (as you can probably tell, spicy food and I go well together), and warm it up! I knew this week would be busy, so I made enough for the week.

Now I am off to study some pharmacodynamics for physiology! Happy first week of September! :)

The First 2 weeks of Term 2

2 finals, 2 meal prep dishes, and 1 beach sums up my week so far. Last week, we finished up two courses: CPM (Community and Preventive Medicine) and Bioethics. We had finals for those courses this week. So, this post is about my perspectives of the courses and a few tips for future students.

CPM
Since college, I have found the study of public health to be very interesting. So, I thoroughly enjoyed the topics that were covered in CPM. From heart disease prevalence to prevention methods to filling out death certificates, this class introduced the class to a wide range of public health topics. In terms of studying, I attended lecture, reviewed the lectures, and reviewed the lectures again over the weekend. The material is not hard, but students do need to be prepared for the exam. Here are a few tips for succeeding in the class:

1) Attend the review lecture. (typically last lecture of the course) This helped me the most!!!
2) Make sure to go through the 100 slide review guide that the professor is nice enough to give to students.
3) Definitely, definitely learn how to fill out a death certificate during the workshop/lecture.
4) Make sure you understand the material covered in the vaccine lecture because it is not only important for the class, but will also help during clinical practice.
5) Know the definitions and differences between epidemic, endemic, outbreak, and pandemic. More importantly, know how to apply it to a clinical setting.

Bioethics
Over the last 2 weeks, I spent much more time studying Bioethics compared to CPM. This class discussed quite a few ethical situations that affect health care regularly. Majority of the lectures left the class thinking about 2 questions: How would I respond if I was the physician? How would I want a physician to respond if I was the patient? Here are a few things I did to study for this class:

1) Attend lecture, review lecture, and review lecture over the weekend
2) Read all the articles. Most of them are quite interesting! There were questions on the exam about the main points covered in the articles.
3) Prepared for both small group sessions by formulating an answer for each question on the discussion worksheet.
4) Read the course companion. To be honest, I wish I had read the companion when I was going through the lecture, rather than leaving it for the last few days before the exam.
5) Made flashcards for definitions and theories. This class has a ton of terms and lists that students need to know how to apply. So, flashcards were the easiest method to learn.
6) Discussed the practice quiz questions with a few friends.

To be completely honest, I was stressed about finding out my bioethics grade as were many of my friends. A huge thank you to J and my family for listening to my worries over the last few days! You are awesome!! To de-stress from the 2 finals, we went to the beach (yay!). I don't think I could ever get tired of these sunsets. So beautiful!
#nofilter
Once we were back, I was in the mood to cook something. So, I experimented with a pan-asian recipe with green beans, bell pepper, and onions over rice. Simply Delicious!! :)

Happy Wednesday! :)

Finals and Meal Prep!


It feels like we just flew back to Grenada and we already have final exams on Monday and Tuesday. We just finished up 2 courses (CPM and Bioethics) which are 2 weeks in length. Once we take our finals early next week, we start the core classes (physiology, genetics, immunology, neuroscience) for term 2. I promise to do an update about each of the courses once I take my exam!

Because we have finals next week, meal prep time may be a little compromised this weekend. This week, I decided I wanted something healthy, warm, and fast to make. So, I'm made stir-fry. I am a huge fan of pan-asian food, so this is just what I need for a pre-final weekend! I already had a few ingredients and wanted to use up some veggies before they become moldy. I'm convinced that the more number of ingredients I add to stir-fry, the better it tastes. So, I never use a standard recipe for stir-fry. Usually, I taste the dish while it is cooking and add spices or hot sauce or stir-fry sauce as I go.

We quickly finished up our weekend grocery shopping and got back to studying. In the evening, I chopped up all the ingredients and let the veggies cook while I read some bioethics.
Some of veggies that I cut



If I have time, I might make another dish after my final on Tuesday so that I have enough for the week! For lunches, I am keeping it simple. I saved some of the veggies that I used for the stir fry. So, I am making a cheese or veggie sandwich during the week. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :)

Meal Prep Week 2!

Wow, I can't believe that the first week of term 2 is already complete. Because our course load has been manageable so far, I have had more time to cook and prepare meals that I enjoy! Yesterday, we finished up our usual grocery shopping and today, I set aside a few hours to make a few things that I plan to eat during the week.

Potluck
Today, our friends hosted a potluck party at their apartment. We were in charge of making/bringing chip dip. So, instead of just buying a small container of salsa, I thought I would make a vegetarian 7-layer dip. While grocery shopping, I picked up a few extra ingredients. Then, my roommate and I put together a great dip! The recipe was a combination of a youtube recipe video and our 10 pm creative minds! :)  It was super easy to make and all the ingredients can be found at IGA.


Meal Prep
Due to the hot and humid weather, I thought that I would prepare a light, cooler dish for dinners this week. So, I thought a pasta salad would be a great option! While the pasta was cooking, I cut and mixed veggies and fruits.



Then, I mixed everything together and added a spices to give it flavor.
For snacks, I have apples and I am thoroughly enjoying the yogurt/granola combination. So, I am going to stick with that this week!

I also cut up a head of lettuce so that I can add a few other ingredients during the week and make sandwiches for lunches.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Week 2, here we come! :)

Term 2, here I come!

After a couple of flight delays due to a lightening storm, we are safely back in Grenada to start Term 2. For future students, it is important to have the electronic form submitted to SGU, the letter addressed to the immigration officer, and student ID to make immigration as smooth as possible in Grenada. Also, if possible, try to keep the same electronic devices that you submit to SGU for your electronic form. It will make your life a lot easier. Over the last few days, I have been running errands like registering for Term 2, buying groceries for the week, unpacking, and of course meeting up with friends from last term!

Academics:
The first few weeks of Term 2 consist of a 2-week course introducing students to the importance of bioethics in the field of medicine and community and preventative medicine. I, for one, am excited for these classes. The course load for the next two weeks are relatively light compared to the rest of the term. So, I am slowly easing my way into term 2.

Meal Prep:
As per my usual med school schedule, I meal prepped on Sunday this week. I made a chickpea-based dish with a ton of veggies that I plan to eat during the week. I also cut up some lettuce and added some veggies to that so I can have salads during the week. As a snack, I have yogurt and granola and of course fruits! Instead of icecream, my family gave me a few treats before I flew back to Grenada. So, I can enjoy that during the week! :)

Carnival
The last few days have been a national holiday in Grenada. My roommates highly recommended going to see the festival and I am so glad I took their advice. A group of friends and I took a cab to the city, saw the singing and dancing, and embraced the cultural traditions. One of the first things that an orientation leader told me during 1st term was to spend time exploring the island and mixing with the locals. Although I hold studying and my academics as my first priority, we are here in Grenada for 2 years. So, we might as well learn and embrace the Grenadian culture.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week and best of luck to the Term 1's who start orientation today! :)
