Day 13 - Teaching Beyond Borders

Well folks...HOME TIME!
Barbados was beautiful...the experience was priceless and I can't wait for next year! Needless to say I can't give you the details because of all the confidentiality issues, but it was good to experience what goes on behind the scenes...what happens on the down low.
So i now have Jamaican friends and Guyanese friends to call on if ever I need some teaching advice.

I have been taught, and taught beyond borders - and had a magnificent time doing it. By the way - your girl is going back to school! That's right - I'm starting my PG Dip Ed. Yup. Another realm of this whole teaching scene. Details to follow. Of course this means that I have to GO BACK INTO UWI'S ADMINISTRATIONALLY CHALLENGED INSTITUTE...sigh...hope for better this rounds.

Day 8 - Teaching Beyond Borders

Oh gosh! Ah sorry! lol...you knw how it is
Barbados was made for tourism and well I got caught up.
Days 3-6 were basically the same - mark like yuh goin mad!
Finished like 2 red ink pens - learned much more about DNA vs RNA and vectors and recipients than I was EVER planning to...

We have an awesomely cool Chief Examiner so that in itself made the experience more enriching. I realized that some people naturally have a poor work ethic. They are nice people, with pleasant personalities..but when it comes down to working - GEEZ n ages! Lazy would be an understatement! But thank goodness this was in the minority.

Day 7 - Bridgetown! Souvenirs galore! Had a time. Again a coutry that was MADE for tourists and the tourism industry.

DAY 8 - Today! Had a great 'cross the island' tour that took me ALL OVER Bim**. Excellent is all I can say.

Stay tuned- Day 9

Bim**- Local word for Barbados.
