Homemade

Whew what a day. We started out in meetings all morning, going over how we would be running things etc. BY THE WAY, I guess I should let you know what I will be running, since I finally know for sure haha.. I am the P.E. teacher for all grades, part time chapel/ worship go-to guy, before and after school care runner, and in the hours I am not doing those duties I will be working at the CDC (the daycare or Child Development Center.. NOT center for disease control. Although with that age kids it is sometimes the latter..). Went out to lunch at Spicy Thai restaurant, had AMAZING food. More meetings. Then on the way back to our apartments, Silvia, Tina and I went to the beach :) It's so amazing. The water is as clear as what comes out of your faucet. And as warm as bathwater. I feel very fortunate to be right here, right now :) After our beach adventure we came home and I cleaned the gutters, and sowed a button back on my suit jacket. Then tonight we made an epic supper haha We had Italian FTW! We three made the food and it was just a ton of fun, and the puppy was there and the spaghetti was there and the saled was there and it was a great evening :p Also, I climbed a tree and harvested a coconut and attacked it with a machete until it surrendered its goods. What a man.

I was thinking today.

As the principal, Mike was going over procedures and things and giving good advice (no sarcasm, he really was haha) I was imagining scenarios. When someone asks me what I do now, my answer is that I am a teacher at the SDA school. It occurred to me that (and please understand what I am saying here) this is really a big deal to me in that its really he first time I've felt like my identity was related to being a part of something of great importance. I understand about doing everything to the best of your abilities and there being dignity in every task and all that. I have held several jobs, and am comfortable with my performance at each. But after seeing the way local people hold the school in such high regard and hearing praises from everyone and realizing what a huge difference it makes for the community, I feel extremely honored to be a part of working for its success.

Anyway. Off my soapbox :)

Forgot to mention that after supper we watched The Soloist, which was a very good movie. A whole other blog of material on its subject matter but you should just watch it yourself instead hah.
