As I am sitting here in my-little-plot-of-artificial light, I realize that I once again feel the need to fart. This never-ending feeling is starting to annoy me. A diet of beans, rice and eggs surely isn’t helping. All this hydrogen disulfide is smelling up the room. And can you imagine the smell of a 5X10 room, with 14 people in it who all have the same diet?
Today is Friday. In normal life this means going out, having fun, drinking, and qualquier acción que quieren hacer. But no. This is Cuba. No, wait, this is the boonies-o-Cuba. Everything is controlled. Bye-bye alcohol, bye-bye late nights, and bye-bye normal internet access. We have school on Saturdays, but only half-days, up until noon. That means lights out at 11pm. Its 11.37 pm, and my form of living on the edge is keeping the lights on after 11. Have I told you how sad it is that these things have to make my day?
I drank alcohol in school today. That was a rush.
It is such a step down from the life I had in Surinam. You’d think that your life is insignificant, full of bad times and whatnot, but believe me people, you haven’t lived life as a Cuban. It is difficult, I cant even begin to imagine what they have to go through. I'm a student here, I have a foreign source of money. They don’t. Things are really difficult here, there is lack of different types of foodstuffs and regular things that we take for granted in real life.
Have you ever imagined life without toilet seats?
Think about that every single time you take a crap. Think about all the poor students (ME ME ME) who have never gotten used to the fact that there are no toilet seats in school. And at this very moment, I need to take a crap.
Where is my hepatitis-B injection?
