| Crushed. |
| So, the good news is that I'll be coming home by the summer! The bad news is that my reason for going back is being unable to apply for a teaching job on the Peace Boat, which has been my dream for so so long. And that has made me mopey and I wish I could go around kicking walls. Or kicking boats. The reason: the next voyage will stop in Cuba, along with 20 other countries. Because of the Cuba stop, they have banned Americans from the entire voyage, for safety reasons. Odds are, I would've been rejected anyway, but I would have liked to think that the Peace Boat was principled enough to stick with its primary value of not discriminating based on nationality. Sure, you can't cater to everyone... but I'd like to propose that the next voyage visits North Korea. They're in need of peace, and I'm sure once you eliminate participants and teachers from the countries on bad terms with NK, you'd still get a good group. Right? Yeah, that's what I thought, too. |
