Subject: RE: BS: Studying in Guam
Here we go! There are 9 days left in the term and I have a mess of work to do. I did catch a break yesterday. I thought we had to do 15 hours of observations. The number is really 10. I think I am done with that requirement. Now all I have to do is write them up... and write... and do more writing... and more...

Yesterday I went to Wakana's school to do some observations. In the morning I watched a chemistry lab and in the afternoon I saw a government class. The second class was in a "temporary" structure. But what a structure! At some point in the past the school had needed six extra classrooms so they bought them from a New Zealand firm. What they got was six cedar log cabins just like the modern log houses we have back in Maine. The logs are uniformly cut and interlock to give 6 inches of wood for insulation, the ceilings are high and the room is wide and open. There are lots of windows. I felt like I was home again.

Well, back to work!
