For the summer term, I'm taking a Biology class that involves a study abroad trip to Andros, Bahamas. It's an ecology class, and this week we are attending the pre-trip classes. I'm very excited about the trip, but there is a LOT to learn. We also have to watch out for crazy poisonwood trees, jellyfish, sharks, lion fish, and some kind of wicked horsefly that will chew a hole in your head and eat your brains. I don't think it will eat your brains, but that sounded really scary, right? This poisonwood is related to poison ivy and the like, but it's incredibly potent and will even affect people who aren't allergic to poison ivy. Apparently the rash is wicked painful and itchy.
So the class today was very fun and interesting. Our instructor showed up wearing her dog in a sling. I thought, "Wow, this is going to be an awesome class!" Her dog had an appointment at the veterinarian, and heck, it's a summer class. So the whole time she is lecturing, her little doggy is just hanging out there in front of her, taking a nap or licking her paws. I have to say I've never had a college class that involved someone wearing a dog, but it was awesome. I think this trip is going to rock.
