So, never in my entire life would I ever have thought that class would be enjoyable.  Especially subjects like Biology.  Turns out, one of the coolest classes I’ve ever taken, due to the awesome professor teaching this course.  The only thing that is hard about these classes is the fact that you can look right outside your classroom window and the see the Amazon River and a bunch of random locals in wooden canoes traveling along side the shoreline.  Another cool/key part to this class is instead of just talking about birds in class, any time we see one flying by the ship we stop class to look at the sights and admire our beautiful classroom outside the ship’s interior.  After lunch, had another hard day out by the pool, getting some more mad sun from the equators finest, and playing some intense ping-pong and swimming just a little bit.  Finally it’s time to relax from a long day of school and hard work, and sit back, do a little bit of homework while watching Planet Earth on the ship’s TV system.  Just checked out the ship’s report too, and we are going about 12 knots down the Amazon river, not too fast, but perfect speed to be rocked to sleep.  Night world.
