First quarter is over!
I've made it this far without giving up :) Even though students don't always perform as well as we'd like by the time grades are due, it's comforting to know that they all can't be A students! Even if we'd like them to be.
November has been a tough month - we only have one FULL week of school. From Constitution day to Veteran's day to Thanksgiving, to Voting day in the CNMI, students are only actually attending 16 days of school this month. Things are starting to get back to normal, during this normal week of school.
Noe and I have solidified our plans for Christmas holiday - we will be in Guam from the 26th to the 30th for some shopping and sightseeing. We were looking for hotels online and were comparing the prices - does it have a pool, a view, internet, etcetera? Then we realized - what does it matter? We live on beach front property with a view all around, why pay more for it 40 miles away looking at the same water?! Duh! We think it'll be nice to still be on Rota for Christmas and New Years, even though on Guam there's a large firework display ... hey maybe we can see it from here... (we can see the military airstrip lights at night). We will be going to the movie theater, the mall, and who knows what else?
Noe has been keeping himself very busy with soccer -- the teachers are now 2-0 against the students!
