USP Open Day

Here are some of my "kids" watching a presentation on sound at University of the South Pacific project here on island.

Some of my favorite parts of this picture:
They look interested, but are just happy to not be in school. You really have to ride theri asses hard to get them to care about stuff and to do the work that needs to get done to get into college.
Were we that bad?

And... mostly... notice Aubrey with the towel around his neck. This is a stapled trend of the RMI boys. we sweat a lot, we might break out and play basketball at any minute without warning, so let us make sure to keep this handy towel permanantly around our neck or covering our head... if we get bored, we can chew on it.
It may sound like i think it's a silly idea, but mostly I just want to do it myself.
I would chew on that towel like there was no tomorow.
