The World Keeps Turning

Wednesday night already, boy this week is going by fast. Monday was Ede (Islamic holiday) so there was no school, and yesterday was a half day. Today has been the only full day I have taught lessons and I only have lessons scheduled for the morning... I haven't taught a single afternoon this week =S.

Sarah and I threw a kickass Halloween party this weekend and we were not disappointed by the turnout. Not only did a lot of our Guyanese friends come but we had two very special visitors. Sir Jose came from New Amsterdam to see us, and Miss Rosie came from Port Kaituma. We loved that they were able to come and see where we live. Rosie didn't have a costume prepared so we decided she should be a psychedelic hippie, we found some brightly coloured clothes for her to wear, and a bandanna. I don't think she was too impressed looking like a rainbow has just been thrown into a blender... does this mean I should rethink my style? After all, everything that Rosie wore that night belonged to me and are things I would wear without even thinking I looked funky. Eh, I'm gunna carry on.

Our halloween house looked A-MA-ZING... Sarah and Jose hung these awesome, but expensive (ask Sarah) cobwebs. The looked really cool but my lion ears kept getting caught in them, another teacher also got into a bit of a tangle hehehe. We also had frankencups, and beakers filled with candy. It was a pretty epic halloween party.
I was dressed as a lion. We teased my hair to make a mane, but sadly I had no hair spray so my hair lost its volume throughout the night. My favourite part of my costume was definitely my tail.
The party went on until around midnight, and after being in the sun all day, cleaning and decorating the house, and then dancing the night away I was definitely out when my head touched that pillow.

Time for me to leave you for now.

-peace out.

Graduation


So last weekend was ARMs graduation; so that meant all the teachers had to dress like movie stars for this red carpet event. I was lucky enough to be lent a sexy red dress and some black accessories. Both Sarah and I looked pretty awesome. Graduation, however, wasn't as exciting as the getting ready part. It took about 4 hours to give out all diplomas and prizes... my butt was dead afterwards. We then went into the cafeteria for dinner and then we had a fun evening playing games and going to the sea wall. 

There aren't many pictures of me from graduation but these are my favourites:

All glammed up!
