So it is now Saturday night! We didn’t have class today because it was photo day. Each university/college on the ship got a picture of all the students from there. There are five of us from Queens! Yesterday was a regular class day and pub night in the evening. The weather was terrible as it has been for the last couple of days! After a few drinks, people were dancing in the rain. At pub night, they sell just wine and beer on the top deck near the pool. It is very packed but fun because everyone goes. After pub night a group of us came back to our room for dance party 08. We pumped up the ipod and danced until about 1am. Our neighbors weren’t too happy but it was a great time. Everyone is called it dance party 08 in the dirty 69. (our room is 3069 and everyone calls it the dirty 69).
Today we woke up about 11 and went for some lunch shortly after. It was boiling out today because we were going to cross the equator this afternoon. It was typical tropical weather, bright sun one minute and pouring the next. More of the same to come when I’m in the Amazon I’m sure. At about 2:40 we crossed the equator, which was very exciting. The only other time I have been in the southern hemisphere is when we went to Kenya. I took lots of pictures so those will be soon to come. We are back to class again tomorrow, a shame we won’t get to see the giants end the patriots streak. Please post on here the score and everything so I can keep updated. We reach Brazil on Tuesday morning. I will be spending the day in Salvador and then checking out Carnaval in the evening. At 1am on Tuesday I will be flying out for my Amazon adventure. More about that later!
I have just started to plan my trip in Japan. My friend Yukari, who came on exchange to BHS lives there and is going to show me and few friends around. We want to see Hiroshima, Kyoto, Kobe and Tokyo. Hopefully 4 days will be long enough to see all the sights!

Laura,
Good stuff, sounds like you are having a great time, everyone is jealous - Dad
Laura, This is my second attempt at posting a comment. Would not go through the first time. How was King Neptune? Did you kiss the Fish? Sounds like you are enjoying ship board life. Jordan loved those pub nights. Any luck learning how to post your photo's on this site. I am not a facebook member.
The Giants won 17-14 on a touchdown drive in the dying minutes of the game, a drive orchestrated by Eli Manning. Antonio Pierce from BDA unfortunately made some mistakes which cost the Giants in the first half. Loved your blog and was excited to read your update this morning. Enjoy every minute. Met some guy yesterday at the Gym who had gone to CU and also done a semester at sea in 2000. He told me it was the best experience of his life. trying to persuade Reed to do the summer program. Love ya, Aunt Suzanne
