The Move

The move to Saipan has been great.  The people here at the school have been very welcoming and has made the adjustment a lot easier.  I will be teaching k-8th grade P.E, 6th -8th grade health and am the new librarian(SCARY I know, for all those people who know how much I love to read!  No, it's getting better so I think it will be a pretty sweet gig reading to the k-5th graders) at Saipan Community School.  I have a small apt on the school grounds in a complex so it is really convenient.  My apt. is very simple and somewhat small.  My bedroom and living room are combined and don't have a tv so it is very simple but very humbling.  I have come to realize what I took for grantid when I was back home so it is a good adjustment for me here.  The temp here is like 85 degrees and really humid so I have not stopped sweating!!!! Especially since my air conditioner broke the first day I was here and had to get it fixed so it made for a long hott night and day.  I was able to get my first round of golf in here and it was $2 dollars for a bucket of range balls and $10 dollars for 9 holes so not to bad. However, groceries are very very expensive!!! Because everthing needs to get shipped to the Island.  I will hopefully be posting pictures and comments weekly so if you have any ?'s feel free to comment or send me a message!
