http://sevendegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
6°57' N, 158°12' E. Friday, September 26, 2008. The Prodigal Blogger Returns. Pohnpeian Word of the Day:. Another few weeks have passed here in the tropics, and I haven’t put anything here at all. Mostly, that’s because there hasn’t been much to tell, but here we go anyway…. Ini soooda (she’s from Minnesota). When we finished eating, we walked to PICS to see the Liberation Day track meet. I don’t think I’ve ever. Meghan and Michaela were officiating at the long jump, and when everyone took a break for lu...

6°57' N, 158°12' E: July 2008
http://sevendegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
6°57' N, 158°12' E. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. This Week in Review. Pohnpeian Word of the Day:. Micronesian time is finally starting to creep its way into my consciousness… the days are blurring together, one into the next, and I seem to have forgotten to update everyone back home on recent events. Here’s my attempt to rectify that. First, a quick note on the Pohnpeian names for days. There are several different counting systems in the language, though the standard one begins ehu. To these, to yield:.

6°57' N, 158°12' E: The People You Meet in the Middle of Nowhere
http://sevendegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2008/09/people-you-meet-in-middle-of-nowhere.html
6°57' N, 158°12' E. Tuesday, September 9, 2008. The People You Meet in the Middle of Nowhere. Pohnpeian Word of the Day:. Also, Pohnpei is a very small place and I’ve already seen a lot of the tourist-y sights (Sokehs, Kepirohi, Salapwuk, Nahlap, Nan Madol etc…). There’s still a couple major waterfalls I’ve missed, and the Pohnpaip petroglyphs near Madolenihmw, but I guess I have to save those for a rainy day – well, a less. Rainy day anyway. :). Terms At least I can start giving them more immediate feed...

6°57' N, 158°12' E: I Visit Kitti and Find Out Things Could Be So Much Worse
http://sevendegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-visit-kitti-and-find-out-things-could.html
6°57' N, 158°12' E. Tuesday, September 2, 2008. I Visit Kitti and Find Out Things Could Be So Much Worse. Pohnpeian Word of the Day:. As promised, I went down to Kitti with the Doses family on Rahnsarahwi. Sunday). They go every week for church, and I’d been meaning to visit Beth and Nick. Beth and Nick’s place definitely has one thing going for it – it’s huge. Two stories, and a spacious yard with their own nahs. I also collected my first homework assignment from all my classes on Niehd. The server is h...

http://sevendegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2008/10/as-if-i-wasnt-busy-enough-already.html
6°57' N, 158°12' E. Saturday, October 18, 2008. As If I Wasn't Busy Enough Already. Pohnpeian Word of the Month. I suppose I should start with the usual mea culpa about not posting in forever. First, I’ve been tutoring a high school calculus student, a menwai. My income here from $300 a month to $900 a month – so I should have a little more to chose from than ramen or hot dogs every night. Frankly, the extra money will be really nice – I should be able to put away quite a bit before my trip to the ...

6°57' N, 158°12' E: Manila Update
http://sevendegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2008/12/manila-update.html
6°57' N, 158°12' E. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Tagalog Word of the Day:. Still, there was one other place I had on my list, and tourist-haven or not, I had to check out – the Mall of Asia. It's the third-largest mall in the world by square footage, and I felt it would be a welcome respite from shopping in Palm Terrace every day. The small shops they ran there. It was a kind of squalor I have never seen in Pohnpei. On the other hand, there is color everywhere. The mall itself is absolutely insane ̵...

6°57' N, 158°12' E: Welcome to Manila!!!
http://sevendegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2008/12/welcome-to-manila.html
6°57' N, 158°12' E. Thursday, December 11, 2008. Tagalog Word of the Day:. Well, my first semester is finally over! The last few weeks have been completely insane – I taught all day during the week and graded all weekend. I didn’t visit the Doses at all, or see any new Pohnpei sights… I need this break more than I’ve ever needed a break in my life! Three whole weeks without any responsibilities at all – I need a vacation from my vacation. :). So, besides classes, what else has been going on? The first le...
