Happy 21st Lauren! Live it up!
Today’s Quote:
Everything can be taken from man (woman) but one thing: the best of all freedoms –to choose one’s own attitudes in any set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
-Victor Framble, Auschwitz survivor
Yesterday, we finally crossed the equator. The air is definently humid and muggy, and I stayed inside yesterday because I was still pretty sunburnt. I have my first exam on Friday which is for my Intro to Art class. It's pretty much open to interpretation, thankfully.
They showed a documentary last night called "Cocaine Cowboys" and it was really interesting. It talks about the drug wars and everything in Miami in the late 70s and early 80s. I really liked it a lot. Oh, speaking of drugs. They had the first batch of drug testing yesterday, and yes, yours truly was drug tested. They do it for everybody because they don't want anybody doing drugs while on the voyage, obviously. It was a little weird though, never had to pee in a cup before, and a little intimidating having them watch you. But whatever, it's all said and done and I was clean as a whistle.
Three more days until Namibia, and I can't wait. Not too much planned for the upcoming days besides studying and maybe some reading? But anything to make the time go faster so we can be at Namibia already! Hope everyone enjoyed the few pictures I uploaded. It's hard to upload a bunch because the internet here is really limited, but oh well, there's a few to get started. I'll try to put some up of Morocco before I get to Namibia.
