The Brazillian Coast

Sorry that I haven’t had the chance to update you all, the passed couple of days have been a little crazy due to classes. I don’t think that I have ever had so much reading to do in my entire scholastic career. If I add all of the pages up in one night of reading I believe the total would be about 250 pages give or take a night. Needless to say I am still exhausted.

Two of my classes are absolutely amazing. The same professor is teaching them and her style of teaching is more discussion than anything, which I prefer. On the other hand my other two classes are history and international relations. The latter of the two is excruciating. It may be because I am already familiar with the material being presented. The only way I feel challenged in the class is with the reading. I am hoping that the progression of the semester will allow for some growth and interest.

Other than school, I am getting involved in an on-ship dance program and teaching a lyrical and hip-hop class twice a week or so. We just had our first meeting tonight so we’ll see how that goes.

Neptune day is on Friday, apparently the tradition/ritual is to a) shave your head or b) get fish guts thrown on you. Personally I am picking option b. There’s no way that I am shaving my head. I don’t think that would go over well during interviews in the spring.

Seasickness is still haunting me, but it is beginning to subside. We’ll be in country (Brazil) on Sunday morning. We have already lost an hour of time and I just found out today that we are repeating November 22. In essence I will have two November 22nds, kind of cool. Ta ta for now.

P.s.
Amy I hope that you had a great first day of high school!
