March Madness

Well, it has been a while since the last time I posted back in December....And being that it is now mid-March I thought I better write something!
Life in Majuro is good. This week has been a nice break from the typical school week. We finished 3rd quarter exams last Friday and didn't have school this Tuesday because the World Youth Day Cross and Icon came to visit. A 8 mile walk from the airport to Assumption along with the stations of the cross and a mass at 2a.m. were all part of the celebration. I along with Emily Kraus, ran to the airport in order to walk back....Yes! believe it or not yours truly was able to run the whole nine miles there in an hour and 20minutes and then walk the 8miles back with the Catholic community. It made for great memories. Wednesday-Friday are reserved for the SAT9 standardized test so I have been enjoying super short days. Tomorrow I will only have testing for an hour!!! The high school faculty is planning a pool side bbq at the Marshall Islands Resort.....I've tried to tell you that life on an Island is very HARD!!!!

In other news it looks like my plans to Down Under are in fact going to work out after all. I was worried that they weren't but so far so good. I also been recently bet by a reading bug and have been reading...and enjoying learning about both Obama and the former first lady Hilary. I think it would be way cool to work on one of their campaigns in the upcoming election. They both are amazing people.

Not that I'm counting but to day marks 76 days until my responsibilities as a teacher at Assumption are over. I remember my first 100 days and am amazed at all I have learned and gained.

Bar lo kom,
Greg
