Why is everyone so sick?

---

One of my professors decieded to ask for criticism from the class yesterday, and well one of the students spoke up and said ( the classes needed more discussion, instead of him being the only person talking). He seemed to have taken it well when during the break me and her and a few other students were discussing random things, and hadn’t noticed that he had walked in the room. Because there was no sign that he had begun the class we continued our conversation about randomness. When he walked up to her and said (because you’re the one that wants discussion why don’t you participate or leave the room). WOW….hmm ok where is the professionalism, or perhaps the awareness of cultural difference…seems like its seriously lacking……

Secretly the boat is actually a reality TV show were we constantly kick people off. The question is, will I make it to the final? Sound absurd, but today reality struck again. One of my fellow Floridians and another Moroccan have been kicked off the boat from sickness. Though incredible to think that it’s been roughly three weeks of voyage, and during those three weeks we’ve now lost four. It was actually a very emotional even, since now these people are no longer simply people, they are friends, they are newly acquired family. I skipped my first class today, so that I could see them leave. At around 12 am the us coast guard arrived. And I swear it felt as though I was watching a movie. My friend lying in a bed being air lifting off the boat onto a helicopter. The worst part was watching it leave. I don’t want them to miss any moment of the voyage I want them to be apart of it. But I could only hope for their well being.
