So there are several disadantages to being the only girl on the trip, and Iīm not being treated any differently than the boys by the professors. No one looks back every once in a while to see if Iīm there. I have to keep up with their pace or get lost. So thats a little disheartening.
This morning I am absolutely livid. I had talked in depth with Dr. Flood last night about how much I wanted to see the open air market. This morning, Mike and I were waiting in our room, ready to go, only to find out that they left without us. Dr. Flood and Mr. Nowles asked the other room full of boys if they wanted to go, but didnīt bother to ask us. I thought that since I had specifically told him I wanted to go that he would make sure to tell me when they left. I was ready to go when they left, but they didnīt announce it or ask if we watned to go. So I am really really pissed off and dissapointed. I tried to go find it on my own after they left but was unsuccessful.
Another bad thing about being a girl is that my clothes have either tiny or no pockets in them, forcing me to carry some sort of bag...which ends up being my daypack. The boys can walk around with all their passports, money and cameras in their pockets. So I stick out like a sore thumb even more on the streets because I am carrying a bright yellow pack.
So generally, I am not very content this morning.
