Late Night Ramblings

It’s 4AM and I can’t sleep. Everyone is going to wake up in a couple hours so that we can go traipse up this damn mountain looking for gorillas.

In other news, how does one know if he has malaria? I have a cough. Normally a cough is just a cough. But when you’re in the jungle a cough is malaria, at least in my mind. Especially when you didn’t sleep in your mosquito net the night before.

The truth is, it’s almost certain that I don’t have malaria, but I’m paranoid and have hypochondriac tendencies, so I’ve convinced myself otherwise.

Also, I have a 30 page paper due when I get back to Cambridge on Sunday night. Current status: 0 pages complete. Hell, I don’t even have a topic yet.

I really hate when professors make big assignments due immediately after vacation. Way to fuck up everyone’s vacation.

Alright, I should try to go to sleep. Just wanted to check in. Pray that these gorillas don’t fuck me up today. Word on the street is that they can be pretty vicious.

And for your viewing pleasure, here are the women we met are the coffee cooperative the other day. For some reason, as they were introducing themselves, they broke out in impromptu dance.
