Week 5 in Liberia Begins

Does it seem like a long time to you? 

sporting the "Professional Look" in the afternoon

I can answer "yes" or "no" to that question depending on the time of day and whether or not I'm talking to Barry.  Right now, I'm having lots of fun.  Here's a picture of my Public Relations Class on a field trip this morning to St Joseph's Catholic High School, after their interview with the principal.  I'd asked them to come to class today dressed as professionals.  They did but I didn't.  The girls didn't mind telling the "Prof" that she didn't look professional.   Actually, I thought it was cute that they felt free enough to talk with me like that, and I answered them that I hadn't known I'd be needing professional attire when I'd packed my two suitcases, full of BOOKS.

Most of the group after our interview: 2 are missing in this picture.  The tall one beside me, Boye-Nelson was our driver too!

When I came back for lunch, I decided to re-assess my wardrobe to see whether or not I could find something a bit more professional looking.  This afternoon, you will find me wearing a different outfit.  You decide;  did I improve? 


This afternoon the HR Director at the steel mill was called out and the man who was supposed to meet us was "sacked" we were told.  Thankfully, we'd designated Nelson as our class spokesman and so he sorted out with the people when to reschedule our field trip.  The morning outing had been so beneficial that I want to try to make the effort to reschedule.
At least this afternoon, I had extra time to spend with students who need lots of extra help.


Now my friend Peggy's arrived.   What fun!  We have so many wonderful trips together to relive together.  Right now Peggy and Laurel are sharing GRAND pictures as I finish this post.
