Well I figured that I would update while I'm in Global Studies. Honestly- this class (which is mandatory by all SASers) seemed like it'd be pretty neat. Man was I wrong! I really can't even say that I have learned anything from this course, last time I found out that I am exceptionally good at drawing mushrooms and Chinese rice farmers. I have a page full of nothing but doodles, and the date. I guess the only positive thing is there are no tests or quizzes with the exception of a midterm and a final. And if you miss a day of Global Studies you can just go the next day.

Other than that not too much is going on here at sea- it's pretty boring to update when we're on the water in between countries because nothing really goes on. I mean, I go to class, I work, I study, I attend 327893 meetings, and I sleep- not so fascinating. Hahaha.

On a side note- the girl sitting next to me just threw up- that was attractive. Everyone has been getting sick between food in Ghana and the rocking of the ship heading towards South Africa (which is apparently some of the roughest waters). I however; just get sleepy, and due to my crazy stomach issues and extreme pickiness, I have yet to get sick. (With the exception of the day where my diet consisted of chocolate and Plantain chips- which I'm almost positive would screw with anyone's stomach).

I am beyond stoked to be in South Africa, and we will be there Sunday! It can not come soon enough, I have so much planned, and I feel like I have so little time. Out of the 7 days there I have one day "free".

I'm excited for the music in SA too. I mean, I've always liked other countries music (even though I have no clue what they're saying). Boolayanni (That is definitely not how you spell his name- but it's how it's pronounced) is giving me all the music on his itunes, so I'm pretty excited for that. I have a bunch of Ghanaian music from Nii, and some Spanish disco-techa from Marta.

I suppose I should rest my fingers because they will be on fire after SA because I will have so much to write about I'm sure. Plus- I should really listen to professor Winchester, especially since I'm in the front row.

On a side note- I cannot believe we're almost into October- I definitely miss my New England weather, with the leaves changing color, and I'm really upset I'll be missing LU's Oktoberfest :[

But I think I made out like a bandit by being able to travel the world. It doesn't look much like Autumn here- but then again, how can ocean water really resemble Autumn? There have been some life forms out here lately- a few moths on ship, and some birds in sight, but other than that- nothing.

Alright- I will put my procrastination to an end.

Talk to you all after SA.
