On topic of laptops..I think I will be purchasing a new Macbook Pro because mine is old, heavy, and probably dying on me as I type this and I can't even fathom my laptop crashing in veterinary school, on an island. I think I will also bring my ipad and potentially get a keyboard for my ipad? Maybe that will be lighter/easier to carry to class or easier to read the ebooks on and type on my laptop? so many things to ponder! I am happy ross went to ebooks & we wont be toting around textbooks on top of laptops etc. Does anyone have any experience with using their ipad with a keyboard and typing on the ipad, is it basically the same as a Mac but smaller? I have just always used mine for things other than typing.
Secondly, I know it is a caribbean island but has anyone wondered if we should bring a sweatshirt or something of the sort? I know I wont be wearing hoodies everyday but I didn't know if it was a good idea to bring 1 or 2. And/or a rain jacket? I wish someone would give me a list that said PACK THESE THINGS!!!
I was reading in another thread about how ticks on the island are really bad, anyone bringing pets should bring flea and tick prevention with. I will remember this if I do end up with an island pet, bringing it from home would probably be cheapest?
has anyone looked into any shipping companies if they are shipping things? I know previous semesters have used barrels rather than boxes. Just wondered what everyone else had been up to as far as researching what to bring and how to get there etc.
Im so excited, but so overwhelmed at the same time. What a major life change, but hopefully the best decision I will ever make!
