Well, Sunday March 30, 2008 marked the official start of British summer time.The clocks went forward an hour. I must say my own body clock is not adjusting to this new state of affairs. I am still awake until 2 am with the inevitable consequence being me waking up when the sun is high in the sky and half the day has gone. I vaguely remember Jamaica having daylight saving time but that was in my childhood! On March 31st, 2008 the weather cooperated in the illusion of spring ... the sun shone all day! It was warm; not just with the sun in the sky but still having cold, cold wind... I mean really warm. It was hard to believe that just the week before there was snow at Easter. People came out sunbathing no less! I now understand why people from these parts of the world enjoy their vacations so much when they come to Jamaica.
A park on campus that I never saw before.
They sunbathed!!!
There have been some wonderful sights... the trees beginning to flower, the wonderful sounds of birds singing and beautiful flowers which I have been enjoying. However this marks the halfway point of the course. I am now flooded with courseworks and papers so despite these great sights it is back to work for me!

When I lived in St Louis my Puerto Rican friend and I quickly caught that the phrase "What a nice day" really meant: "You can see the sun today".
People rarely comment on how nice the day is since most days are 'nice' We more complain if it rains or is too hot. I guess the only thing we comment on as nice is De Breeze. What a nice likkle breeze -- yuh feel it?
