Updates from SLU

I am blogging to you from St. Lucia. It is a beautiful but very small island in the Caribbean. The population is about 160,000 which when compared to Jamaica is tiny.

The shocking thing that I find hard to get used to is seeing everyone everywhere. Therefore the same people I work with are the people I see at the clubs and also in the supermarkets or just generally in the town.

 

I have more to say about my change in outlook. At first I was just going to save money for the next 2 years and try to eventually buy my own home. Sunday I missed my flight to St. Lucia while trying to do a presentation at school, which I didn’t do. After that experience I decided that I am going to get my own vehicle. I am looking at a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer (black) as my next move. The price is right and the condition should be good. I love Lancer- it has great features and fuel economy while being comfortable and attractive.

 

After making the flight the day after I stopped over in Barbados and missed my connecting flight to St. Lucia. Two missed flights to one destination. I was almost stranded in the airport but thanks to my VP and HOD I was able to sleep in a comfortable bed.

Something is trying to speak to me here. Yesterday I bought a shirt for 155EC. I usually don’t shop for myself. My girlfriend normally takes care of that stuff so I feel like I was tricked by the store clerk who I asked to pick something out that goes with Black and is semi-formal. I plan to return it today- we’ll see how that works out. I may have to employ my Jamaican/yard-man roots to get that done. That much money can buy breakfast and dinner for the rest of the week!
