weekend
had a trip to the heifer ranch this weekend for my explorations class to teach us "global awareness". we stayed in the global village saturday night. (for those who dont know, that means we lived in third-world conditions) overall, i enjoyed the trip and experience. what i did not like was being stuck with a too-small sleeping abg in 30 degree weather and sleeping on an uneven wooden floor. i think i got 20 minutes of sleep total.

my group was assigned the appalations(i dont think thats spelled right, leave me alone) ut we were forced to evacuate and move to the slums because of a nest of brown recluses.

the big event/controversy was over the rabbit. the group in guatamala decided they would kill a rabbit for meat, and a lot of people couldnt stand to see it killed. (if anyone in your group was going to eat it, you all had to go watch) for you animal rights activist or vegetarians, it was quick and painless for the rabbit. it surprised me that people were crying. guess they had never made the connection that to have meat, something has to die. not to be cold-hearted, i dont approve of killing animals, but since we were eating him, it didnt bother me at all. i think a lot of people came home from the trip vegetarians.

possibly more on this later.
