Day 21 – So you can dance?

Sept 18th

Days Events
Today we had logistical pre-port where they told us about getting around, health concerns and dismemberment details. Apparently, there is some sort of worm prevalent to the area that can eat its way into your skin and lay eggs. It travels via dogs’ feces, but can also be carried by dust. So, I guess I’ll be wearing sneakers everywhere! We were also reminded that kids have already had up to $6,000 stolen frAfterwards, Students for Service held a fundraiser in the Union called “So You Think You Can Dance?” We got to see Linda do an interpretive dance to ‘Sail Away’ (and yes she was serious about it), a traditional Ethiopian dance, some salsa by Hal the oldest professors on the ship, a traditional India dance, a reenactment of ‘Call On Me,’ and some hip-hop groups. It was hilarious and ended in a tie between Cassandra’s India dance and a group called Roar that dance to the lion king.

Highs and Lows
My “high” was getting ready to see FREAKING Namibia. My “low” was sitting through the excruciatingly awkward silence during Linda’s performance (it later erupted in cheers).
