Felt like I was reading poetry. Magnificent! Did you share? If you're on the island, I live in Hodges bay...

it was probably the RELATIVE lack of exercise as you delved deep into the books

I first started to gain weight in my first year at medical school at Mona and continued thus until I graduated and got into construction of my buidings as a hobby after that

does aua have a gym? if not, is there a gym on the island near the campus? also, can someone tell me if there are tennis courts on the island? it would be nice if i could play tennis between semesters or play a little during a holiday. after some people have mentioned gaining weight as a result of the food on the island, i am hoping at some point i could burn off my fat.

undergrad here in the states has already caused me to put on about 25 lbs.
