Back to school Blues

Even though I knew all along i was going back to school. I guess it didn't feel real as I didn't do any back to school shopping. I didn't even get any new school supplies, the perks of living with a student I guess;) on my first day of school, I had to wait until lunch time before I had access to my online courses due to the timezones. But I 'attended' my first day and I didn't even have to leave my bedroom. Nathan jokes with me and says i am going to try and get my whole masters from bed. i wish that were true but often the internet doesn't work very well from bed:( Therefore I started using one of Nathans tables as a desk, he had two tables pushed together. apparently I was invading his personal space because i came home one day to find he pushed the tables apart and made me my own desk... It was actually really nice, but i like to give him a hard time. So I am a student again and it is going to be a lot of work, maybe the crazy lady who told me not to take this many classes had a point, but i'll prove her wrong...I just have too! Other than reluctantly getting back into school mode I have been really busy meeting all kinds of new people on the island, mostly other wives or significant others of students and professors. One of the girls does Zumba dance two nights a week, it is so much fun! It is Latin/dance infused aerobics. and I am taking up sewing/ quilting Thursday mornings. this week was our first lesson and we are making pot holders:) I will keep you posted and promise some more big photos now that I know how to get them~*Angela

Saba in 1937

Good bye Earl

Earl had to die...Our first hurricane in the tropics was exciting, all the Saban locals were like busy little beavers preparing for the storm and then cleaning up afterwards. Earl was very windy and rainy, but besides a little flooding at our back door (which I helped by cleaning out the gutters during the storm)...We were living in the lap of luxury compared to many people on the island. Our apartment has a generator, so the people who own the building lets us use it for most of the day during meals times especially. They actually hosted a dinner party for us and our other friends, Joel and Anne. It was delicious. The next day the boys, Nathan and Joel headed off to school but returned home as there were no profs and hardly any students. As most were stuck in st. martin due to the storm so they have a few days extra vacation. Although they are going to probably make up the time on the weekend:(
