Spirit Week!

We don't have a major game at the end of this week nor do we have a tournament that we are attending next week, we just have spirit week because we can. Amazing the commitment to the cause thought...yesterday was crazy hair day. One student decided that it would be wild to shave half his head. He had hair like Frodo...his parents are also out of town for a week. Today the theme is , what you would not wear to school. I am wearing a sarong with a T-shirt and flip-flops. A sarong is a wide strip of material that you wrap around your waist, I often wear this after I come home from the beach, comfortable but not in the least professional.

Nick is back in the land of the able...There are usually 3 different 'bugs' you can pick up that can cause gastro stress. Giardia, worms, or a bacterial thing. We are taking care of the would be worms, that didn't work so we went to bacterial...Yahoo for antibiotics.

It is now the windy season... this simply means every evening we have wind. I know this sounds pretty simple, but the wind isn't mild, gentle nor teasing. It is strong, gusty and down right pestering. Nothing comes of the wind either, no big storm or rain..just wind. The prayer calls have been a little off lately, I don't think we have daylight saving times since we are right on the equator, but they seem to think that 3:30 AM is now the right time to call everyone to prayer, it has been 4:30. I am a bit glad at their inconsistencies though, they aren't at it every morning and once in awhile they seem to remember that there is volume control on the speaker system.

Scott is teaching more and more in the PE department. Good for him...maybe not so much for them. I tell him he needs to remember they are not new recruits for the marines. :) We are getting busy..like a huge machine that is just begnning to rev up. We are so looking forward to Dad and Elf coming here in Decemeber. We will be going interior...Mapnduma and the Mbuwa. What an expereince it will be for all of us.
