Daily life in SVG

I am only writing this because my mother will not leave me alone about this stupid blog. The first thing she always says is "how's your blog", even though before tonight there hasn't been a posting in over a year. So mom I hope this blog makes your day, month and year because there might not be another.
I have recently moved to another village named Georgetown and although it is larger than my previous village I find myself a lot more bored. Besides the other Peace Corps volunteers in Georgetown I do not know anyone so that makes my days seem very long and boring. Now that I live in Georgetown I have to take a van to and from school, this cost about $16 a week which doesn't seem like a lot of money but adds up over the month. Once I am at school I spend the first hour or so opening and running the library. Around 10:30 I start to tutor kids on a one on one basis, depending on the day of the week the tutoring sessions can last all day or finish by 1:00pm. If I finish tutoring before the school day is over I may help other teachers do various things like copy papers or write tests. Once school is over I take a van home where I usually go to the grocery store and get dinner for the night which usually includes chicken and rice. Once I get home I start to cook then I eat then I may watch a movie, read, browse the internet or go out somewhere. I am usually in bed my 12:00am and up by 7:00am to do it all over again.
