Well these past few days on the ship have been pretty difficult for everyone, we all seem to just sleep nonstop. Suddenly I have three tests and two papers due before Mauritius and I can't stay away from my bed! My arm hurts because I forgot a small detail in my last blog-I was hit by a car when we went to hike table mountain. Only my arm was hit but it really hurt and the guy reversed and yelled at me for walking in the middle of the road, which i was very far from. I was walking behind a huge line of people on the left side of the road and all the drivers were going very slow except for this guy. My arm is fine though so dont worry mom and dad.
The seas have been very rough since we left Cape Town, not only because that part of the ocean is known for having rough seas, but because there was a cyclone we were heading toward which hit the island of Madagascar and then dissipated so we had to ride through the after effects. I didn't get sick thanks to these patches which put who knows what kind of chemicals into my body.
Some kid on the ship had his parents send him a copy of the superbowl to the ship so they are going to play it on our tv's tonight!!! I am so excited! I also have a dinner with my "family" here on board which consists of 4 very odd girls and 1 very very odd life-long learner who doesn't go to any classes and basically lives on the smoking deck.
There isn't much to write about, but we will be in Mauritius on Saturday so hopefully there will be some fun stuff to let you all know about then. As for now I am eating, sleeping and studying-on a ship. (That always makes it a little better)!

Have you already been gone a month? School is going okay. One of my classes is SUPER boring! But my MacroEcon teacher ROCKS and I love the class. Tiffany just told me that she is going to give me the bar shift (with her too) on Friday nights! I should make a lot of money so i can use it when I travel! Oh-I can't believe you got hit by a car! That is crazy. As for the U.S.-nothing new here, just pres. debates every second and resession gossip-no new songs or anything cool like that. Our culture is boring-oh wait! What culture-he he. Suck it up when you are travling-it lacks here. Are you going to be in Boulder for the summer? Lets go camping!
