Next stop Ghana, we’ll be there on the 22nd. Today the food was delicious. We had fish and chips, and some macaroni ish for lunch. It definitely wasn’t as amazing as the fish and chips in Halifax, but I’m getting tired of being disappointed at meal times and this wasn’t too bad. 150 tablets of pepto certainly weren’t enough, I’ll need to stock up in South Africa. The amount of assignments I have is insane. When I left, I assumed I would have plenty of free time but this is certainly not the case. I will not be posting my english essays to this blog anymore, I hate the changes that I’ve been forced to make. I’m debating dropping my english class. I would probably have to take it over summer, but this really isn’t working out. All of my other classes though difficult are at least interesting. “Writing around the world” is high school english all over again, but the people make me want to curse incessantly. So far the professor has asked me to rewrite one of my papers, she said “you could do much better” yet most of her comments seem to reflect upon her ignorance of the social issues that affect Morocco. “This seems very judgmental” was the comment that made me furious. Someone in class asked me what gridlock was…. This is going to take some will power. I’m very frustrated, F*$& it we’ll do it live. I’m looking into dropping it in the morning, I won’t let this woman ruin my semester at sea. The other day Clay mixed butter into his peanut butter, I’ve told almost everyone this. There are bagels but no cream cheese, and allan the waiter has left. We now have to get our own drinks and Winter the waiter serenades us with the melodies of Bob Marley. We’ve just completed day 5 of each of our classes, there are 22 days in total. So far I’m about half way through reading 3 of my textbooks, but I’m behind. At Chapman I wouldn’t actually do all this reading, but two of my classes require a short paper to be written before each class. Laundry day finally came, I only had to buy 2 semester at sea shirts to make it through. We had a lecturer today tell us all about sustainability, I stopped paying attention when she attempted to explain that Milton Friedman was wrong and most CEOs don’t really care about profit anymore.
