Indecision 2012

So yeah, I might have stolen this entry title from one of the funniest people on television right now, Jon Stewart. But it's true; this life changing experience is going to take place in 105 days and 11 countries. Looking at the itinerary and all I want to do... I need like 105 days in each of the countries. I can't make up my mind on what I want to accomplish. Here's a copy of the itinerary and you can see how few days I have and the massive spans of country I'll have to travel to get most of it done. I'll break it down by country by what I want to do; most of the ideas are coming front he field practice online. I've bolded the ones I want to do on my own and not through SAS.

Mauritius:
     Here's my problem with Mauritius. I've heard from everyone who did SAS before  me how Mauritius was the "spring break". It was two days and everyone rented villas, enjoyed the villas, ate, drank and were merry, and, as typical college kids, trashed the villas. Now we only have less than 24 hours there. I kind of still want to treat it as a relaxation trip as it's a good half-ish way point. But some girls, who seem really cool from the group, we want to do a lot of the same stuff, might go play with baby lions and stuff. That might take over as the more important thing as sitting and relaxing on the beach is more of something I'll get senior year in Miami.

Well I guess that's enough for one evening. Three blog posts in 12 hours, I'm some sort of champ. Maybe, when all is said and done, I'll remember exactly how I'm feeling at this second, writing these words from my comfy bed, albeit on the twin sized mattress pad on a full sized bed, after watching yet ANOTHER devastating Hurricanes loss.
