My week in Curacao (no gas, rolling blackout & the Talent Show)

So this week has been an interesting one for living here.  The refinery went on strike so the island had no gas for a few days... thankfully I had just filled my tank last Sunday.

Then the power plant started having trouble and we had rolling blackouts.  Wed night I came home and at 7pm had no power.  After freaking out I remembered that I had a few candles around.  I had not gotten to eat dinner yet. I am still finishing catching up on my online class grading and will finish this evening. 

This week (yesterday in fact) was the ISC Talent Show. The NHS (I am advisor) & NJHS students did such a great job and I am so thankful for my wonderful co-worker and NJHS advisor Kim. We had walk throughs Tue and Wed afterschool and dress rehearsal Fri from 12:30 - 5:30pm.  The show went very well last night.  I will add some pictures later when I get them. Yoga thankfully helped to keep me relatively sane.
