Greetings!
I have been busy the last few days.
Am having issues woth my internet provider, and am realizing that having the internet at home is something that I do enjoy.
I was thinking that I would cancel it, but the last few days have proven to me how essential it is.

Well so much to tell.
I went to work on Saturday. I had a much better offer, that I would have preferred to attended. But as situations unfolded... I went to work.I didn't really want to but thought that it was the responsible thing to do. I unpacked my sundress and my shoes as they were weighing down my case. Big mistake. Did we not go mechanical in Punta Cana. Did I not have no clothes to wear. Just a wool dress, a pair of nylons and a pair of dress shoes.

I had to wait until the morning to buy something to wear. There is something so liberating about sleeping in the nude, with the ocean crashing and the hot tropical breeze. But I was still very happy the next day to buy a bikini and a wrap and a pair of flip flops for $46 US. Then a bottle of sunscreen for $20US. There goes the perdiem that I made.

Well, to make a long story short. I will have a great tan in the mext few days. But for most of this week I have been battling a major sunburn. I had to go home from school on Monday as I could not even function. Thanks to my knight in shining armour for coming to my rescue and helping my put aloe where I just could not reach. I think I might have died without this help. For Real.

I came back to school on Tuesday, becuase we were taking a field trip with the students on Wednesday to Laser Quest. I feel that it is always better to be hear to go over how I expect them to behave. Well, that was to no use as the trip was cancelled at 1330. How disappointing for everyone involved. Apparantly we are not to do anything that is fun during Holy Week.

I can appreciate that fact, but I was unhappy at how the situation was handelled. The fact that it was a religion teacher who went off on a tyrant and told her class that she was going to get the trip cancelled. I just think that it is so unprofessional to make comments like that infront of the students. It leaves a poor impression on the two of us that planned the trip. Anyway, what can you do?

Well, the funniest thing is that in protest to the trip being cancelled, I decided to show a movie today. I chose to watch Chocolat. Well does that movie not deal with the issue of lent and giving up things that give us pleasure. What a crazy coincidence. I just started to laugh when the movie started. I t must be God's will.

Have a great day
