Back from my sabbatical!

I missed you guys too! But I have to say, spending the last 12 days, miles away from ordinary, was one of the best things for me to do. I managed to forget about life in the States, got dropped out of all my classes cause I forgot to pay my rec fee, and managed to buy a new wardrobe cause the airline delayed my dad's bag which gave us $500 inurance money to buy clothes with. As the avaerage clothings prices are between $3-5, you can imagine what we were able to do...

This pic is of my favorite spot to relax when we go there-- it's the back of a hotel called Blue Water. Basically, the routine is to lay on a chair under the palm trees and contemplate life for a couple of hours, walk up and down the beach a bit, and then stuff my face at the buffet :)

Sudha is right, as there was no international drama, but I did learn a few things while I was there:

- I have met someone that takes man-eating to Olympic standard levels, so back off me Sudha ;)
- I nearly died while changing a light bulb there. Always remember to turn off the power in countries with crazy voltages like 220 when changing a lightbulb cause you might die when the bulb explodes in your hands.
- I could eat rice three times a day and be perfectly content.
- Island gossip is mean and spiteful-- the major pitfall of the motherland

Ok, it is now late and I will post later this week with more stories. The airline lost my bags somewhere in DC, so hopefully I will get them tomorrow and make my way back to Columbia so that I can try to get back into my classes....
