Zanzibar Itinerary and IRB Woes

Posted on by Matt Christensen

So I spent a large part of my day today filling out information for Luther’s Institutional Review Board, which I have to get approval from if I want to use my project in the future for like my Senior thesis or something.  But because I got timed out of KATIE (Luther’s coursework website) it all got deleted without being saved.  It is completely my fault for not saving it, but I am still upset about it all because there is no way to recover it.  I will have to rewrite it all… And to top it all off I have another Kiswahili test tomorrow.  This must be one of those moments were nothing is really working out for me.  It sucks.  It would be really unfortunate if nothing having to do with my research project worked out for me.  I haven’t played guitar for a while.  I just feel really frustrated. 

Anyways, here is an email that my program director sent us about this weekends trip to Zanzibar:

“Below is the itinerary for our trip to Zanzibar. There will be a lot of walking and swimming so please remember to pack sunscreen, a hat, and a swimming shirt, if you have one. Also remember your insect repellent and anti-malaria medications. I’ve been told that towels are provided by the hotel, but you may want to bring your own to use for swimming. Paulina also has asked me to remind everyone not to wear revealing clothing attire during our walks in Stone Town, as Zanzibar is more conservative than Dar. Also, we’ll be on boats quite a bit so you may want to bring anti-motion sickness pills; the downside of course, is that many of you have purchased the drowsy formulas. It may be worthwhile checking to see if pharmacies here carry non-drowsy versions.

*And if anyone has my Rough Guide travel book, please return it to me, as I’d like to review the maps and history of the area prior to our departure.

Zanzibar Itinerary
