“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Back to School

It was kind of adorable because when we were in Dominica and it was time to head back to the ship, the locals would all start asking, "Are you going back to school?" "Yes, it is time to go back to school." And we would look ahead in the distance and see the ship waiting there and head back to "school".

I've seriously never had this many reading assignments before. It's like the professors are compensating for only having 22 class days by assigning hours upon hours worth of readings. And between not wanting to waste time in port on textbooks and constantly wanting to take a snooze with the rocking of the ship, it's impossible to get anything done. Not to mention reading is kind of toward the bottom of my priority list. And don't criticize me for prioritizing blogging over reading, because my blogs are more for my own personal memories than anything. I mean what would you rather remember, all the amazing things that you experienced? Or the exact dates of when Malaria was first introduced to the Americas? Don't worry i'll get it done eventually.

I have this super awesome picture to post but with so many people clogging up our already feeble internet it would probably take an hour to upload. Actually, no one is up just yet so maybe I could send it now.
