“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Tomorrow is a "Reading Day"

Meaning we don't have class. Thank goodness; I mean it's really about time they gave us a breather. We've already had a staggering four days of classes this semester and that was really pushing us all over the edge.

Also, fun fact: I know that many of you were flabbergasted, as was I, that a ship like this could possibly fit up the Amazon river. Well I learned today that areas of the Amazon are over 50 miles wide. So not only is this entire ship sailing up the Amazon, but I probably won't even be able to see the shore on either side while we are doing so. I still can't decide if that is super cool, or slightly disappointing, as I was looking forward to sailing through the jungle.
