Quick Update

I haven't been very good about posting this term, so I thought I'd give a quick update.  I still have a lot of catching up to do though too.

Peter's schedule this term is switched from last term, this time he has classes in the morning.  So each morning we get up at six and exercise together, we do Insanity together, which is crazy!  He heads for school at 7:30, has classes from 8-12, and on Monday and Friday has a lab.  He usually gets home around 5 or so and then sometime after that we eat dinner, and then he pretty much studies the rest of the night.

Peter is doing really well, he did great on his midterms and is now studying for finals.  He has finals in three weeks!  He has a pretty grueling final schedule this term, he has a test on Friday, Monday, Wednesday, two on Friday, then another on Monday.  I think they're trying to wear them down or something, it's a crazy test schedule, he is going to be exhausted by the time he's done.

Everything else is going about the same, we're going to be coming home for the summer, and we're really excited!  We don't get as long as other people get for the summer break because he has to come back early and start third term.

I'm still volunteering at the orphanage and most of the kids are doing really well.  One of the kids had to go back with her parents, which you think would be a good thing, but it's really sad because it's a bad situation.  They got a seven month old baby at the beginning of the term and he would cry all the time and couldn't sit up, or pretty much do anything, but he is doing a lot better now, and is even crawling.

I'm glad that we have the opportunities that we have, it is still really hard sometimes, and we miss our family and friends like crazy, but we're glad to be here together and to get to experience the things we do.  Some days we want to scream that we hate Grenada, but most of the time we can't believe that we actually live here, we're lucky.



Here we are after church at the sailing festival, we had to stop by and see what it was all about.  As you can tell from our major squinting, the sun was blinding us.
