Subject: RE: BS: Settling in Guam
This weekend consists of four days of no time off. Friday we took the whole school off to a religious retreat. Each class went to a different church. The sophomores went to St. Anthony in Tamuning. Essentially we teachers rode herd on them keeping them from getting into trouble.

Saturday Wakana and I made a run into town on some errands.

Sunday I had to supervise the Sophomore car wash. The kids were raising money for their future class activities. Attendance for the kids was mandatory. About half of them showed up. I had a two hour shift from 10:00 to 12:00. My relief did not show up at all. I was told he had a sick kid at home. I had to stay until 2:00. I was exhausted and sunburned when I got home.

Wakana had decided to drive me to the car wash and run some errand while in town. The extra two hours were not in her plans. She was in a hurry to get home because her students were performing in a Christmas concert that night. She had to get to school in time to marshal the students and give them one more practice.

I got home and had time for a short nap and then I was up and heading for Wakana's concert. I arrived and met a friend of hers so we sat together to watch the concert. It was pretty good... well, it was a high school concert featuring a bunch of boys forced to sing. The only groups who showed any real life were Wakana's because she was out in front of them, leading them and dancing to show them the moves they were supposed to do. She put a lot of her energy out there and it showed in the boys' performance.

Today we have no school in honor of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. We have to be at the cathedral at 3:00 for the procession around the block carrying the little statue of Mary, our Lady of Camrin. Not looking forward to that. I'm already sunburned.
