Almost to Brazil

I have been trying to blog the past few days but the service on the ship has not been working so well so half of the websites people use can't upload, my blog being one. 

Anyway we have been on the ship for a week and it seems like months. It gets super boring, especially on the rainy days when we can't go out and tan and pretend like we are on spring break! Plus the workers here cater to us 24/7. They cook, clean up and do the dishes. They make our beds, vacuum and do the laundry. There is nothing for me to clean and it is almost driving me nuts! I am trying to just enjoy it because it should be a luxury that I wont have forever. 

Classes are good. I am actually learning a lot and it is very shocking to me. Usually I never know if I learned anything until finals but everyday I am learning something new and i love it! Dad i am bringing back 2 very good history books that you will enjoy. 

We arrive in Brazil tomorrow, we could have been there much sooner because we were cruising so fast. But they turned one engine off because we were getting there too fast and needed to have our school days. What a tease.

We didnt get to watch the superbowl which was very depressing to me. There was one motley radio that 300 students crowded around but I got sick so didn't get to listen. I knew that Eli would pull through though!!! I hope someone Tivo'd the game so i can see it when I get back. 

I work out almost everyday on the ship. I use the elliptical or bike and wont go near the treadmill because everytime I work out someone on the treadmill eats it when we hit a wave. One girl has had a brace on since Thursday because she fell so hard.

My friends and I booked a bungalow in Maritius for three days so we cant wait to get there! Carnival will be going on in Brazil so I am super excited for that. Except it will be kind of scary cause the crime is so high there so we have had like 5 safety meetings. 

I am still working on finalizing my safari plans so I will keep you updated!
