Tuesday
Let me tell you getting this field trip set up has been a pain in my butt, mainly because I don't have support from the principal at my school. Any ways she switched the date of the field trip because of some event going on in the school, so today when I got their I was so exited because we where supposed to go. The bus was not their yet and when I asked where it was she said oh i guess you'll have to plan it for another day. Well its not that simple because then I have to go threw her agin and she has to go threw the ministry of education to get the bus. So I called the bus driver, he didn't answer so I kept calling him. Finally I asked if I had the right number and I called agin. When I got ahold of him he pretended like he had forgotten that the principle of the school had just told him about it. I told him plain out I know she just told you about it! He finally came back to get us at about 10am. Their is so much I would like to say about him but I will refrain from doing so I am ranting enough. So then we had to pick 18 kids to come, thats all the bus would hold. One of the students is in a wheel chair but uses a walker and did not have the wheelchair today. So I said we can still bring her and place her in the a chair, she can still help. The principle said she cant walk in the sand with her walker. I told her the plan and she did not stop me after that. So we were on are way to the beach I was so exited. The kids had so much fun, we where their for an hour looking for sea glass for the mosaic and talking about how it was made. When we got back I got spoken to about why I was not supposed to take the girl with the walker. She has a nurse that comes for her to help her go to the bathroom. I didn't know that, her teacher didn't say anything and nether did the principal. I was very frustrated I felt like I was getting road blocked from every direction. I am surprised I have lasted as long as I have at the school many a peace corps volunteer has left their for reasons I will not mention.
Any ways so during lunch I went down to the gift shop that I got my bottles in. They loved them!! It was so exiting. I got to organize them on a shelf and explain them too. It was a good feeling. I cant wait to paint some more, I hope they start selling soon. I have them in to places a gift shop and a resort has them up on friday nights.
On my way home I stopped at the store to get some things. I am finding all of these new grocery stores that I knew about but had not shopped at. I now understand why people go different places to get different things. I am going to go home and cook some dinner and start to clean some more.
Thank you for letting me vent, I try very hard not to put negative things on my blog but for those of you who think I am on what they call Beach Corps holiday here is a is a bit of what I go threw on a daily basis, with people I work with. Their is so much stuff like that that i dont share. But today I needed to put it in here, let some off my chest.
