Today, a small number of students gathered at Rachel's beach, alongside faculty and other members of our group. We sat outside most of the day, and got to swim at the "beach" they have on the grounds. We cooked out and enjoyed each others company from 9am-1pm, when I decided to take Fr. Dennis up on his offer to take 3 others in his Ranger truck, buggy, thingy, back to campus early (the event was supposed to last until 4). That thing can really fly! It also takes potholes like a champ. The ride seemed so much shorter than usual that way.
When I arrived back, Greg was there and Kristan (aka, Mac), James (aka, Jimmothy/Jeff), Greg and myself (aka, Waterproof Avocado) goofed off around the building before heading up to the roof to watch the students play basketball and volleyball from above. Although we are about 150ft from where the students are playing, sound travels from the roof to the ground clear as a bell. We coached from above. :)
Today, Greg arrived back to campus. (I missed his energy while he was away on vacation. He really give life to this place!) After dinner, the whole group (about 12 of us, including the Akoikoi Elementary teachers, played secret Hitler till we had had enough of each other for the evening. At the moment, I should be working on lesson planning, but I am nervous out of my mind for not doing it correctly. ...might as well get down to it... still no word on the laptop over in Guam. I have my fingers crossed.
