Update

So I had a dream last night which proved to me that I am having a good time on Semester at Sea.

My dream was literally that the voyage was over and I was back home in Kansas. However, I was extremely sad because I could not remember what I had done in Brazil, Ghana, South Africa or Mauritius. I had convinced myself that the countries had all flown by, I had wasted my chance to see them, the journey was over, and I would never see any of the people here again. Somehow while I was sleeping though I realized that it was a dream and that I am looking forward to Mauritius way too much to possibly forget what I do there. I woke up in my bed in my cabin happy to be on the ship still on the voyage sailing away.

So to get to my point, when my "bad" dreams are "bad" because I am not on the ship anymore, you know that Semester at Sea has to be pretty amazing. I couldn't be more excited about spending two days on Mauritius, which is fundamentally an island paradise, and seeing my third continent in as many months. We have a global studies test today, the class that all 600 students are in, so I won't get my next India installment up until tomorrow probably, but i wanted to post a quick update and say that this trip is really darn awesome.
