Update

Friday

On Friday I popped into the school next to Fr Yelds' house- I'd found out they start school on Monday 1/2/2010. I asked if there was anything I can do, and they said yes! They're down one form 6 (yr 11 or maybe 12) maths teacher, so until they can get one I'm it. A bit scary!

That night I went to a fundraiser for the parish, and afterwards, community night at the MSC house.

Saturday

More work at Fr Yelds' house.

Sunday

Went to the Sisters' house for Mass and lunch. Afterwards I went swimming with some of the guys from the house- jumping off one of the causeways into the water, where there's a tunnel under the causeway for boats to pass. A similar day to last Sunday, which was spent jumping off a bridge. Less sunburn this time though.

Found out at 9pm that I'd be moving house in the morning.

Monday 1st Feb.

Had to pack up in the morning to move houses when it was light enough (total of three lights in my room don't work, and my torch is broken), so got to my first day at school late and missed an assembly. No-one had told me anything about the assembly - I think it was impromptu- but I was still embaressed (apologies for spelling).

I knew, if worst came to worst, that I had no classes until 1pm- however this had been swapped without me knowing, and I would have been only just on time had there been any classes. Luckily, all classes were cancelled due to lack of student attendance- they're all still making their way to Tarawa (this island). So everything has worked out ok.

I'm living in a house right next to the school, which is very handy. I'll miss the company of the guys at the house though.

tess: Don't get too lonely, Wiramu! Glad you get some time at the school after all. (02/02/10)

Tess : Uh oh, magic disappearing comments again? I won't re-post, just in case. Just wanted to suggest that you don't use a plastic bag as a parachute when jumping off bridges. (02/02/10)

Penelope: I only just caught up with your blog, Will. Glad you are finally as busy as you want to be- or maybe a bit busier. Looking forward to those photos. (02/04/10)
