And then, in a bizarre turn of events we have the Great Talofofo Water Crisis. More accurately I should call it the Southern water crisis because it affects the southern part of the island.

Anyway, today the principal announced that the water company cannot ensure we will have decent water pressure at the school, which sits on a hill, and so we will be closing each day at 11:30 or thereabouts. This doesn't mean the faculty gets to go home but the students do. I can imagine how happy they are about that.

What's really odd is that we have plenty of pressure at our house and we live only a mile and a half away... on the same system.

Anyway, I now have plenty of time to pack up my stuff and get ready to move out of the room and the school. And to grade my finals.
