Last Week....

so yeah last week I missed like 3 days of school!!!...yay!!...and I'm soooooooooo missing it!!

A couple of my language sisters and myself volunteered as liason officers for the commonwealth finance ministers' meeting which was held at Sandals Grande..We each were assigned the heads of delegations for different countries in the commonwealth. I got Cyprus, and well my girls got St. Kitts, Mozambique, Ghana, Guyana...just to name a few...

Our job entailed picking up our delegates at their respective hotels and taking them to the meeting at Sandals Grande which started at 9:00 a.m. from Monday October 6th- Wednesday October 8th...Mine was staying at the Almond Morgan Bay..Other hotels included Coco Palm, The Landing, Bay Gardens, Royal St.Lucian and Sandals Grande itself..

We were assigned our own drivers with some AWESOME rides. They had to pick us up at home and take us to meet our delegates. That was a lot of responsibilty.. I reveled in it!!...So anyway my delegate just arrived in St. Lucia on the Saturday since he hadn't sent any itinerary to the ministry of external affairs and I had to go look for him on the Sunday..I met him totally by accident outside the hotel lobby..apparently he had already registered for his ID card and stuff so that made my job so much easier!!!...He wanted to go sightseeing with his wife...I was like WHOA....mind you I was in a suit and wedges..I was like O SHIT!!..so I climbed all the way up to the monument at pigeon point in those shoes...then to Place Kassav...(the cassava bread there is soooo DELICIOUS!!)..then to Soufriere at the diamonds falls then the sulphur springs..my feet were killing me man!! Finally the driver recommended the hummingbird beach resort for lunch the grilled tuna there was out of this world!!!

Then back to Castries...my delegate lost his luggage and well American Airlines did not send it to him and he was quite distraught and annoyed and agitated...he got his luggage eventually...like the Monday afternoon...well I find I fared well under all his pressure..I did my best to calm him down...Sunday night there was a cocktail at Royal St. Lucian, Monday night the opening ceremony cocktail where we, the liason officers got to mingle with all the delegates and my favorite: the cocktail at Bay Gardens..the shrimp, n fish was out of this world!!!!..it hurt my heart when my delegate was ready to leave...*SIGH*

I miss the police escorts where the vehicles had to stay near the side of the road and had to allow us to pass and we got to escape that awful traffic....also the official plates...mine was "OFFICIAL 50" that was sooo coooooool man!!...And all of us chilled @ the pub in Sandals Grande whilst the meeting was going on...kixxin off to pass the time...my delegate left the same Wednesday that the meeting was ending...I was happy that the hard work and all the walking up and down was ending but I miss the whole vibe!!..it was all in all an awesome experience..lots of laughs..some girls were asked to elope and to move to the respective countries...hilarious shit!!!..and some of us got some serious tips 2!!..DINERO BABY!!..so we did in a sense get paid...how kool is that!!....now it's a new week and I'm still in the same shit..ton of assignments....I miss last week when I really didn't have a care in the world and school was a distant, distant memory.

25 Fascinating Love Facts

By Laura Schaefer

Love is mysterious, fascinating, and when you find it with the right person, there's nothing better. Here are 25 surprising love facts to puzzle over and embrace.

Love is a many-splendored thing … and a very surprising thing, too. As if you needed proof of that, here are 25 funny little facts about love. Study them, scratch your head over them, and share them with someone you fancy.

1. Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don't.

2. People are more likely to tilt their heads to the right when kissing instead of the left (65 percent of people go to the right!)

3. When it comes to doing the deed early in the relationship, 78 percent of women would decline an intimate rendezvous if they had not shaved their legs or underarms.

4. Feminist women are more likely than other females to be in a romantic relationship.

5. Two-thirds of people report that they fall in love with someone they've known for some time vs. someone that they just met.

6. There's a reason why office romances occur: The single biggest predictor of love is proximity.

7. Falling in love can induce a calming effect on the body and mind and raises levels of nerve growth factor for about a year, which helps to restore the nervous system and improves the lover's memory.

8. Love can also exert the same stress on your body as deep fear. You see the same physiological responses — pupil dilation, sweaty palms, and increased heart rate.

9. Brain scans show that people who view photos of a beloved experience an activation of the caudate — the part of the brain involving cravings.

10. The women of the Tiwi tribe in the South Pacific are married at birth.

11. The "Love Detector" service from Korean cell phone operator KTF uses technology that is supposed to analyze voice patterns to see if a lover is speaking honestly and with affection. Users later receive an analysis of the conversation delivered through text message that breaks down the amount of affection, surprise, concentration and honesty of the other speaker.12. Eleven percent of women have gone online and done research on a person they were dating or were about to meet, versus seven percent of men.

13. Couples' personalities converge over time to make partners more and more similar.

14. The oldest known love song was written 4,000 years ago and comes from an area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

16. Forty-three percent of women prefer their partners never sign "love" to a card unless they are ready for commitment.

17. People who are newly in love produce decreased levels of the hormone serotonin — as low as levels seen in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Perhaps that's why it's so easy to feel obsessed when you're smitten.

18. Philadelphia International Airport finished as the No. 1 best airport for making a love connection, according to an online survey.

19. According to mathematical theory, we should date a dozen people before choosing a long-term partner; that provides the best chance that you'll make a love match.

20. A man's beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex. (LOL)

21. Every Valentine's Day, Verona, the Italian city where Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet took place, receives around 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet.

21. When we get dumped, for a period of time we love the person who rejected us even more, says Dr. Helen Fisher of Rutgers University and author of Why We Love. The brain regions that lit up when we were in a happy union continue to be active.

23. Familiarity breeds comfort and closeness … and romance.

24. One in five long-term love relationships began with one or both partners being involved with others.
