Not much has happened in ship life recently. Last night we did have an open mic night and it was actually really fun to watch. My favorite act came from the cutest 4 yr old boy I have ever seen in my life who sang accapella in front of 700 19-21 yr olds in a miniature sailor outfit. Definitely the highlight of my day, perhaps trip thus far. (Most of the faculty brings their family members onboard if you need an explanation for the existence of a 4 yr old on this ship.)
Marisa and I successfully slept through breakfast and lunch for the past 2 days. (We went to class in between MOM.) But today is the first day I haven’t taken a nap so things are looking up!
We decreased speed (from 20 knots to 15) in an attempt to stay behind a storm equipped with 40 ft waves, so I guess our captain has things figured out.
And today while we were laying out after class, some yappy girls in front of us claimed they saw a whale. Marisa and I both missed it…. So the search continues.
Things I’ve learned:
- melodica: a musical instrument resulting from a piano and a harmonica having a baby, then that baby growing up and having a baby with a flute (as it was described to me) and then a boy performed “so happy together” by the turtles for it’s world debut on such instrument
- global studies might as well be called random studies
- uploading pics to this blog used all of my free internet minutes and therefore don’t expect to see anymore until I am on land
- Chris Jones DOES exist!! (thanks for our new friend eppie)
Things I’m thankful for:
- my friends, especially those who have been e-mailing me and posting on this blog b/c I miss everyone SO much!
- my family members who have also been posting and e-mailing (especially you little Em)
- that we’re over halfway to Spain!
