Sept 3

Still on our way to Brazil, surrounded by ocean, ocean, and more ocean. I know I have said it before but the water is soooo blue. Found a bunch of people going on my trip to Rio so it should be a great trip. Went up to the “Pub” on the ship last night and met some more people from the South (can spot by the usual khaki/red shorts, button down shirt, and hat backwards and sunglasses hanging by a Carolina croky). Listened to some country and The Band. Haha Slept in this morning with my one class this afternoon. Sat outside and enjoyed the nice hot sun. So much hotter as we get closer and closer to the equator. So much time on my hands I do not know what to do with myself not having a sport or a job to go to in the afternoons. Joined a bunch of committees to help plan for our Sea Olympics and Ambassador’s ball throughout the trip. Hopefully will keep me busy. Nice to relax as well. Catch up on some reading and play board/card games with everyone. We have to entertain ourselves some how! Happy Birthday Alex, Kylie, El, and Mr. Becker!
