We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the
wilderness
and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.

Today, I had my debate for Deviance and Social Control. The other side went first and had no real argument or none that my group could find. However, they somehow found a way to piss me off whatever they were saying. So, when my group went the first presenter did the history of life imprisonment and then I went second and gave the arguments. I more like yelled them to emphasize my point, but whatever I think we will get a good grade. We had a strong conclusion and fought for our side when claims were made against us by classmates. Also, since I have limited internet connection I do not know what is going on around the world. The best source is Wikipedia which is honestly the worst source of information ever created on the internet. Not much to rely on. So apparently Patrick Swayze died??? I don’t find out until a week later. However, on a happier note GIANTS are doing quite well. Definitely pumped that they beat the COWBOYS! Other than that I have no idea what’s going on in New Jersey or the US for that matter. Tonight, we had another pre-port lecture about logistical things; trips, food, shopping, malaria, water, etc. It went by pretty quickly as much of the information is actually repetitive. I did start my Malaria pills today and will continue to do so for the remainder of the trip until China. Now, I am just relaxing and watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding for the rest of the night. My trip of the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees is one of the first to leave the ship tomorrow. Oh, and yesterday our pre-port was soooo funny. Instead of reading the boring stuff about Ghana our Dean decided to follow the pattern of the talent show and actually rapped the entire 5 minute presentation. It was quite comical, I was practically crying from laughing. But, nonetheless it got his point across. I may not update for a few days depending on when I get back from some of my trips as many of them leave at or before 7am and do not get back until night time. So, don’t worry about me. There will be an update sometime this week.  So excited, GHANA AT 8am!!!!!

PS. HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY MEGGGG!!!! SORRY I CANNOT BE THERE TO CELEBRATE! ONE MORE YEAR UNTIL 21. PREPARE YOURSELF HAHAHA
