Sports

sports in the school system in Grenada. Instead of having a PE class every day or once a week they have a big spotting event once a year. They stop all educational classes for the most part in March and re start in mid April. They divide the students into different houses and work on a variety of things, marches, sports, costumes and little events. So while they are working on sports I am not teaching I am helping make costumes and planning for when sports is over. Generally all of the special ed schools would get together and compete but the funding for all of the kids to come from all over the island is not available so just the school alone will be competing with the different houses with in my school. Its an interesting time for me because we do not have that in the states and I find it strange to stop schooling for a hole month but that's the culture, Last week was a good week, at White Cane we have cleaned out the shelves of white bottles so now we need to clean and under coat all of the new bottles that we have collected. I did not go to DH this week I was at the Limes putting together some crowns for one of the houses.

I am so exited to say that I started working out on my own and I got a workout ball so I can add some new things to my work out.We also have a lot of hills and stairs in Grenada so I started running stairs and walking up and down hills. I have lost 50lbs since I have been here so I need to work on my toning now. Its exiting when you can finally see the differences in your hard work. Its payed off so much that I have to rubber band the sides of my pants because if I wear a belt it scrunches the fabric in the font and looks bad.

My weekend was good I threw a BBQ / pot luck with local people and Peace Corps and I got a good turn out. That was on the beach. Its nice I have all of these new friends
