Today, we had another quiz in class! It was equally as hard. Hopefully the final won't be so hard tomorrow...
We had some interesting discussions about how humans have impacted the world and whether or not what we do is considered "natural", and also whether or not the world would be better off without us. People asked questions like:
"If Mars used to have life, is it possible that everything that happened on Earth already happened on Mars, but the humans turned the planet into what it is now, and the looks of Mars is our future?"
"Since humans have defeated our environment in the sense that we can control our conditions to our pleasing, is it possible that another species, like apes, could become smart enough to do that, too?"
"Are species only still alive because we want them to be, since we have the power to exterminate anything we want to?"
"Since it is a scientific fact that species will fight each other competitively intraspecifically for resources, isn't war a natural part of living? Does that mean war is okay?"
These really got us going, to the point where we didn't learn everything we were supposed to! And our final is tomorrow! Hopefully he won't test us on what we didn't get to...
After class, Jess and I went to Cafe Con Que to study and get some delicious quesadillas and brownies (the Spanish word for brownie is brownie, we learned) and, of course, some delicious cancer curing guanabana juice:
I really want to get a guanabana and smuggle it into the US... it is SO good!! We started to work on our final presentation that we have on Friday, and Charlie joined us eventually, too.
We walked home and rested, then I met up with Charlie again to hang out at school. We both then had to go home for dinner, but had planned to go out later in the night. However, after Charlie had dinner he got too tired, so I met up with Jeron instead. We were going to check out the soccer game, but when we got there it had ended, so we settled for Pescadito! Tomorrow will be a much more adventurous night!
