Well we are slowly moving up hours (losing one hour every night and it is killer). I have an 8AM class every other day which is super early with the time changes. On top of that the entire ship is sick. My roommate has a fever and all my friends are sick...so far I'm safe and trying my hardest to stay that way. Strep Throat is going around (and I have a knack for picking that up)! It is hard to stay healthy when there are no windows to open and keep air circulating. Tests and essays are being assigned by the loads before we get to South Africa so we are all stressed on top of everything else! The good news is we have an ice cream social tomorrow night!! I will probably be the only one healthy enough to make it to the 7th deck for it though. Hope you all are well! Oh and I apologize I spelled ferry incorrectly before but I don't have the internet minutes to use to change it.
Tomorrow is Valentines day and they have replaced all the lamps/laterns on the ship with heart lamps! There are a lot of couples on the ship which is very surprising (couples that came together). We have school off because it is Neptune Day! (we are crossing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) It is supposed to be a crazy day full of surprises. Supposedly everyone shaves their heads, we get fish guts poured on us, the crew wakes us early by running through the halls and slamming pots and pans. Who knows what will really happen though. Tonight is a "Jungle Party," we are supposed to dress up as animals, but I am not sure what i will wear.
So my cabin steward (who makes my bed everyday) is amazing! I love him to death! Only those of you who really know me will understand why I truly appreciate what he does. Everyday when he makes my bed he takes my blanket and folds it in with my sheets at the BOTTOM of the bed!!! It's awesome!
I still haven't figured all my safari stuff out and now think that I lost $200-nice! Oh well I am trying not to stress too much.
This is very random but very important: Since I am on my way to Africa I am learning a lot of new things and the Genocide in Darfur is shocking me more and more. Everyone should please go rent the movie "The Devil Came on Horseback" with Brian Steind and spread the word. Something needs to be done and soon.

Bree- i hope you do not get sick...that would be a bummer. Have you gotten sea legs yet? Well, i think about you/brag to my friends I know some one on SAS everyday. I don't want to hear that you have all these tests and things due-dude you went to carnival and you are going to S. Afica and Singapore-and...blah blah-every where cool. I miss you. (I am just joking-I hope that school isn't too bad-really good luck with everything, you will do great just like always)...(Ashton's post about the treadmill CRACKED me up)
Thanks for the post card-loved it.
oh, yea-IMPORTANT-I have finally forgiven you for spelling ferry wrong!!!
