My schoolwork is fine and I am cramming lots into each day. I am very busy! I've got football practice, squash practice and I'm a member of the Urban Expression Drama group! The drama group is great fun and there are 4 practices a week. Last Thursday we did a short skit at the opening of a new school. I didn't have any lines which was a bit disappointing but I suppose it was only my first performance. However, in November we are doing a play and if we are still here then I am going to be in it! The part is a youth and I have six lines! All the skits and plays are in the local dialect which Mum, Dad and Sam mostly can't understand at all! I am definitely getting the hang of it though. I sound more Jamaican the Vincentian though which makes the rest of the cast laugh!!
The football is fun. I practice at one of the schools in Kingstown and I am the only girl! All of the boys firmly believe that girls cannot play football and never pass me the ball. One day I got really fed up with them and tackled a boy on the opposite team, got the ball and scored two goals! Then they started passing me the ball! Unfortunately by the time the next practice came around they had reverted back to ignoring me. It is very exasperating!
Here are some random photographs:
