Prior to my departure for Semester at Sea, I came down the the Whooping Cough - and no, I am not 86 years old, nor do I typically allow people to cough bacteria directly in my face - however, according to the doctor I am just "one of those strange people whose vaccine from childhood just stops working." And hence, I got the whooping cough! It is lovely, I assure you - especially when you are on vacation :) It has calmed itself down, which is good - a lot less hacking - also good - and I need the meds less - very good!
My time thus far in the Bahamas has been quite nice and fairly normal - the usual tanning and wondering how in the world these Bahamians got the water so blue - when I made the mistake of needing to use the public bathroom at a resort. Now this initially seemed harmless, but upon entering the facility I noticed 2 women from North Carolina leaning out of their bathroom stalls so that they could have a face to face conversation with one another as they proceeded to pee all over the seat & floor of their stalls. I must have made some sort of "what the hell" kind of sound - because they looked at me and said, "Oh Sorry, We didn't have time to close the doors." I am not exactly sure what this means - do they always do this and they didn't have time to close the doors before I entered, or did they have to go so badly that they could not possibly be bothered with closing a door when they have their pants to pull down! Fairly disturbing - and so when they said that to me - I closed both of their doors - was I being rude, perhaps - but hey these are the women that give Americans a bad name. Its little wonder that people think Americans are crude and disgusting when you have 2 women pulling a stunt like this... (Alissa if you are reading this - get out of NC while you still can!!).
So, like I said - I typical day in my vacations - especially as a Bent!
Love to you all! ~Emily (also known as Em, Shmemy, Femily, & Squat)
