July 4th a Birthday in Belize




Monday July 4th
It’s my birthday, I turn 26 today.


Instead of partying it up I am here at the UB library using the Internet to do homework. Outside the weather is a deep gray and it seems like even if I had wanted to go somewhere I would not have been able to. Last night we had a heavy downpour of rain and it seems like it will linger possibly for the entire week. The good news is that I was able to do more homework and talk to my parents and siblings J. However I now have the worst craving for my mom’s food today, some Dove mint chocolate ice-cream and a good steak. This week we are learning about emerging diseases and all I can think about is the huge mosquito that bit me last week and getting Dengue or Malaria. Thank you for prophylactics but it’s a shame that they are not available to everyone who needs them. Also the use of DEET (which to me is cancer in a bottle) is handy here since everything can bite you. Beware of the horse flies!
