I haven't posted anything in awhile but school has been going pretty good. I have to go to sleep a lot earlier to teach school than just to attend school since its kind of hard for me to nap during class when I am in class but I am sure I will be able to figure something out. But I'm hoping the rest of the week goes good and I keep up with all my grading so we can have fun going around the island next week.

Went snorkeling today at Nalup. I'm not sure if thats actually how its spelled but it sounds like that. It was pretty sweet. Its so nice snorkeling without a wetsuit and the snorkeling was pretty good but i guess there are a lot better places that are near the island. But tomorrow I have to focus on school since the first day is in 2 days and I still need to finish my lesson plans for the first couple weeks.

Finished registration today. I think I'm teaching a total of 63 kids. I'm pretty nervous but also super excited at the same time. Definitely ready for the Sabbath be for the hectic week of school starts.

A day without rain.

Today was the first day of registration and most of the junior came by to sign up for classes today so most of my Physics and Pre-Cal classes are full and I'm sure all my Physical Science classes will fill up tomorrow. Today was the first day that we have been on the island that it hasn't rained at all. It was kinda weird and super hot so I pretty much just hung in my hammock all day trying not to sweat. I'm getting pretty excited for my classes now that I have seen and met a lot of my students.

I just figured out my classes that I'm going to be teaching for the school year. I have 2 sections of Environmental Science, 2 of Physics, and 2 of Pre Calculus. So I'm sitting down right now to work on my syllabus for the year thankfully the internet is so slow here I wont get to distracted.

Finally in Pohnpei

I feel like I have been swimming since we stepped off the airport here. I am pretty sure that its rained more in this day and a half that I've been here then it does for an entire year in Bishop. But its pretty awesome here. We went out shopping yesterday for the bare necesities of food and living cause everything is so expensive here. So if anyone want to send me something non pershible food would be awesome and I'm sure David and I will have a list soon.

Hawaii day one

Plane took off from LAX today at 9:50 and I sat next to a super cool guys named Dave. Once we landed it was around noon Hawaii time and then we had some meetings at the school and David Bryson and walked around by where the school was in some of our free time. The temperature is pretty much perfect here but I hear Pohnpei is way hotter so that will be fun getting used to. Im super excited now to see how this year turns out and I am already really tired.
