Day in the Life (Posted by Nancy - no edits to the email message)

A normal day in Chuuk: Wake up around 7am, shower shave all that good stuff Walk the 12 mins to school, arrive around 7:30 most days In the morning i generally try to check email or grade some papers or maybe look at what we will be doing in class today Classes are from 8:30 to 12:15, 5 45 minute periods 1-10F Math, 2-9C Science, 3-9B Science, 4-9A Science, 5-10D Science Then after class I generally sweep out the room and straighten up since it is always just wrecked After that I will either grab some prepared food from a stand/shop across the street from the school, usually its fried rice with a slice of spam or half an egg and a hotdog If I dont eat that its generally some rice at the apartment or maybe a can of tuna If im feeling like splurging I go out, like today i am probably going to eat at truk stop and go swimming Our afternoons are generally napping, cards, movies, or reading/grading course work. Or we go shopping downtown or swimming. Sundown at 6 is generally when u have to be back unless you are crashing at another house Dinner is either we go to High tide restruant for internet and food or lei side for the same, that is always a group venture since its dark out then. If i am cooking for myself its generally ramen or like yesterday i fryed up some julianned? potatoes and called that good enough, I buy veggies when i can and fresh fish every once in awhile.
