Back To The Ship, Back To Schoolwork

Our visit to Cape Town was a great experience - I had a great time enjoying the historical, cultural and natural aspects of the city that make it unique. I realized that I need to come up with new descriptions instead of using the word "awesome"because I have probably already overused it in describing my experiences. Haha.

So, I'm back on the ship. Even though we were supposed to leave last night at 8 p.m., due to high winds we didn't disembark until about 8 a.m. I hope that doesn't shorten our time in Mauritius because it is already only one full day. Everybody's scrambling now because we have our first exam in Global Studies tomorrow. We were supposed to have a review day, but they decided that having the 12 professors that have spoken in class review material would take too long, instead we were told that professors were assigned to specific rooms to discuss further questions. There was a general disgust about the system among student who would rather have had an informative review. I have at least been to every class, which is more than I can say for some people, so I feel like I'll do fine on the test.

I really, really want to tell everyone about Cape Town, but I probably won't have much time today, since I'll be trying to study for the test. I tried to update last night after we got on the ship, but I was so tired that I was falling asleep while I was typing and subsequently went to bed at 10 p.m., after cleaning my room and sorting my laundry for our laundry day today.

So, more exciting stories later!

Hey, Stacey, I am back to reading again your wonderful stories now that my life is getting somewhat back to normal after Kyra & Josh's wedding. We missed you and look forward to seeing you for Nika & Craig's. Love, Aunt Vickie
