Week of 9/29

9/29 Session w/Andrew Simmons. Got doubles for lunch and for the others. Last PACA session. Took nap, Jeffrey called to say that Cool wanted me to switch back to my internship on Tuesday, instead of going on the Heritage Tour of the Leeward coast. Went by Todd’s to use internet. Helped tutor Tristan at the GHSCC, while Todd and Samantha tutored other kids. Used the internet some more with Chesley there.
9/30 LLBTC – showed Margo around the campus. Started putting the sports programme project together. Watched the kids build mini chairs using clothespins. Played tennis with Mr. Akers at the National Tennis Centre, near Villa. Stopped at a busy grocery store on the way back, and had a Hairoun Bitter Lemon. Had chunks with rice with spicy seasoning for dinner.
10/1 Cornflakes and biscuits (crackers) in hot soy milk for breakfast. PC Training – HIV/AIDS Community Prevention class, bought some coconut bread/scone things from the bakery, teaching session, budget session from Mollie, went to liquor store w/Ann, went to Voyager to buy blank cd/dvd’s.

10/3 Corn flakes for breakfast, plus Kerene made some cheese sandwiches. Training class – debrief w/Cool and Margo, X-cultural session, bought some ginger/coconut bread at the bakery, HIV/AIDS prevention video and training. Stopped by internet cafĂ©, bought newspaper at Tokyo, took Veira’s van up to Green Hill. Phyllis was on board. I helped her bring her groceries into her house. I then stopped by the Haynes’ house, since Kerene was there. Walked home. Talked to Todd. He said he would give a call back once he woke up from his nap. Watched a Henry Rollins DVD. Todd didn’t call back, so I called him. Stephanie and Shelby answered his phone in Heritage Sq. I watched Blood Diamond.

10/4 Went to Mount Wynn Beach w/Haynes Family and Aunty Katy. Along the way, the wheel on Ben’s jeep caught on fire due to a brake problem. Went swimming, threw the football around, smashed some Vincy almonds open, had some rice/veggies/chunks cooked with a beachside fire. Tried Mauby and Fruit Cocktail Soda. Ben instructed a workout for us as the waves splashed at our feet. Swam some more, and then we headed home. Ben’s jeep started to overheat along the back.
After relaxing a bit, we went by the Haynes house. Watched baseball playoffs, played some computer games, and had some delicious pizza and Lipton tea for dinner. They gave me a couple of sugar apples to take home.

10/5 Watched some movies in the morning. Wrote up NGO/Institution Assessment. Watched Sox lose 12-inning game while at Todd’s house.
