Week Twenty Seven

     So last week felt really short, I'm starting to get used to only 3 school days a week. Overall last week was interesting. For starters my 20 time research is getting interesting. I've beginning to realize that the Bahamas is less a remote island and more of a smaller version of New York City. I've been trying to find some local places that aren't so city influenced but the best I've gotten so far is a bread shop that caters weddings. It's not really a shop so much as it is a business. I've also been trying to find some PLN but its harder than I thought it would be. I wanted to contact some vacation bloggers that might've gone there and reviewed the place but I haven't found any. It keeps taking me to trip advisor where like 3 million people have given their own opinions ranging from "this place is the most amazing on earth" to "the Bahamas is the last place on earth you should visit, I had a horrible time". It's kinda tough trying to figure out who I should try to contact. Also last week, varsity girls soccer started. It was kinda rough since I literally hadn't run since the last cross country meet in November. But I'm looking forward to a good season, there's less girls so its definitely going to be easier to get places and stuff.

     Challenges faced last week would include as I said before, my 20 time project. The project is great its just a struggle to find the local side of the Bahamas and some genuine vacation reviewers. Another challenge was soccer practice. I'm way out of shape so its tough having to get back in the flow of things. Plus the fact that two days every week I'm literally carrying a back pack, guitar, bag for practice and lunch box. Its back breaking. The last challenge faced this past week was trying to get homework done before hand. I have two big assignments due tomorrow that I originally planned to work on over the week end but that of course didnt happen:/

     Successes of last week would include finding some good tourist attractions in the Bahamas (believe it or not they have more than just beautiful beaches). Another success was surviving soccer, still a lot of work to do. Along with that, last week I succeeded in getting all my assignments in on time;) The last success was progress on the gala decorations. Me and Alet are planning to go look at the location so we can get a table count and stuff to figure out how many center pieces we need so I'm hoping we can get this out of the way.

     My plans for the upcoming week are to study for the biology test and trudge through the reading and questions for English. I'm also planning to work on my 20 time project this week in the area of airfare and passport stuff. I have a lot to cover in the area of transportation and legal stuff. Along with that I'm planning on four days of soccer practice, hoping for no shin splints. Lastly I'm planning on going to Savage (the place where the gala is gonna be) so I can see how many chairs are at each table and figure out the number of center pieces. 

     My progress on 20 time has been okay. Like I said before I'm still working out the details for PLN and local places. PLN for this project is definitely going to be more difficult than my last project. I have however been able to find a lot of interesting tourist attractions other than the beach. They have a lot of pretty waterfalls and lagoons to visit. Lastly I was able to find alot of information about the hotels and stuff. It's pretty expensive there.

     The bible verse this week is basically telling us to not let our stress get us down. We need to keep walking with Jesus and trusting him to help us work through our problems. This verse is telling us to focus on the eternal glory since pain we feel at the moment will only be momentary on comparison.
