New Pics

Hey guys. I know I haven't posted anything in a while. But I will very soon, because the month of May is filled with exciting things, such as a possible other trip to Pissar, Cultural Day, and Graduation. Plus, I will fill everyone in with my overall thoughts on how this whole year has gone by, and any other reflections that I think are appropriate at this time.

I just want to let you know that there will be a lot of new pictures coming up, and I added another WebShots page (since the free sign up only allows for a certain number). The first album has some of the Juniors preparing for the State Debate (i'm the Deabte Coach as well as the person in charge of the Chuuk State Debate ... it's a joke, I know, but the people who SHOULD be running it down town dumped it on us - Xavier - so now a white boy who;s been here for 9 months is coordinating things together). Anyway, the Juniors are working hard as we speak in the library, and it's Saturday afternoon.
The last day of classes was yesterday, and next week is finals week. All I have to do is write them up, grade them, and I'm done for the year. Just a reminder to people who are wondering, I am leaving for the Marshall Islands May 17th for my retreat, and then Dwyer and I leave for Pohnpei on June 4th until August 4th for summer school. It should be a lot of fun.
Finally, a shout out to Vers for the awesome package.
Keep the questions and correspondance coming. It really helps. Almost one year through!!! Peace

AJ,

It's awesome that you are the Debate Coach for the whole Chuuk State! Hope that your team does well! Where are the debates taken place, and amongst who?

It is amazing to think that a whole school year has gone by and the only thing left are the final exams! I hope that you have time to relax a bit after all this and that you start your "summer" school (I doubt that there's too much of a difference between summer and the other seasons there) in Pohnpei. Please let us know more about this new period in Pohnpei (and, if you can, don't forget to visit the ruins of the Spanish Fort ("Fort Alfonso") named in honor of Alfonso XII, King of Spain in the latter third of the 19th century (as you may know, Spain used to be the colonial power of Micronesia until 1898).

Take care of yourself and write soon. Lots of love!

Dad

AJ!!!!!

Debates, eh? Good luck with that. I had to do them in high school as well, and they were a challenge. Research is the best advice. I hope your retreats and finals go well. We're also just ending classes this week, having our Spring Concert Tuesday (Guster), and then finals start next Saturday.

Hope all is well, good luck with the debates as well as summer school and summer retreats. I hope your team houses.
