A Semester Through Art
Oh look, it's been three months since I have posted. Time flies when you are procrastinating.
But Lauren, you might say, don't you write your blogs right away, so all you need to do is post them?
Well yes, that is what I do, generally. The thing is that South Africa was quite trying emotionally and the days were long. So when I got back to the ship and had to write about it I really didn't want to relive those emotionally trying situation. So I procrastinated writing it. I kept up with every day after that. I wrote about all the sea days and Morocco but still South Africa sat blank.
I have been plugging away at it slowly but day 81 is the day I went on a wine tour and it was a lot of fun. It was also a long day will with a lot of different things and when I try to compile it all in my head it stresses me out. So I need to just stick day 81 in there with "This is a wine tour" as a place holder but I haven't done it so now here we are.
Where is here? Well. As you know I took an art class on this voyage. Two actually. And it was a
lot of fun and I did a lot of creative things and I know that you all would be interested in seeing that art. So since I am procrastinating writing the wine tour but I don't want to post out of order I decided to post this. Since it doesn't necessarily go in any particular order. And it's my blog and so I can do whatever I want. Which you think I would apply to posting day 82 but shhhh, don't ask so many questions.
