Warm days

Things are beginning to fall into place. We still lack network and internet in SD 6, but the students still put up at the Grand Anse campus have been cleared to move into their rooms in the newly opened wing of SD 6. The rooms still have the mild smell of fresh paint and grout.
We were also allowed to lock our doors yesterday! This may not seem like that big a deal, but we were just issued our keys. This is a major improvement from the previous day and a half where we and our neighbors were left to use duct tape or some other object to prevent the self-locking doors from closing when we left.

On a more personal note, I have now been cleared to register as a student again. I will only be taking one class, but I will perform well enough to make up for the extra time I will be spending on this island.

Although it is a good thing I am seeking this profession. Today while trying to clean up my haircut with my trimmers, I forgot to adjust the comb height properly. I was painfully aware of this lapse while looking in my mirror at the bright white streak down the side of my scalp. I had no choice but to continue the same height cut all over my head, and I am now left with little more than 1mm of hair. I look like a brand new chia pet... but much more pale.

I will have to wear sunscreen and/or a hat to prevent this from burning under the VERY hot and humid sun here along the equator. Sunsets are still rapid, although it seems to be taking quite a while for them to start. I am sure that will all change once classes start next Wednesday.
