I am really starting to like and get used to this journal/blog writing I will have to bring my other journal to write in while I’m in port and type it out later to post. So quick update last night when I went to the Dining in Spain lecture I ran into Megan Sullivan and sat with her and her friend Deja for that. I learned a lot and guest speaker was funny and informative. Megan and I made plans to go to pub night together a little later on so I went back to my room to freshen up and watch Shrek. Around 9:30 me and Megan went up to Deck 7 got a glass of wine and mingled. It was a fun time and I enjoyed meeting more and more new people. Although I am starting to get frustrated with finding people on the boat because you will make plans to meet someone at a certain time but it never seems to work out or you can’t remember their room number, or you talk to them one night and don’t see them at all the next day. (For example I haven’t ran into Megan all day).
This morning in Global Studies we had a guest lecturer the same man who gave the talk last night on Dining in Spain, he will be giving us our morning lecturers until we arrive in Spain. He is really knowledgeable and has even given us lists of words, restaurant and hotel recommendations. This morning I also got my service visits that I signed up for in Mauritius and India I didn’t get the Habitat for Humanity one I would have liked in South Africa though but I am going to keep my eyes open for someone who is trying to seel that trip. After a day of school, napping, and reading I met with Emily for dinner on Deck 6 first we watched the Sunset where I finally took a picture! Yay me.. And then had dinner and oh surprise surprise it was salad, pasta, and potatoes the same thing it is every lunch, and dinner just cooked up slightly different or with a different sauce. We have found that PB&J is a really good dessert. The line tonight for that was about 13 people long. After dinner we ran up to Deck 7 to catch the MICE show. I am not sure what it sounds for but Brandon (Jeff’s roommate) was performing. It is a class of about four people who are learning to play music through their computers and other things it is similar to techno I guess. So Emily, Jeff, and I went up to the bow to watch Brandon and the show. It was really interesting and I am not sure I understood what was going on. There was a guy waving around a large boomstick microphone in the wind which I think was capturing sound that Brandon was capturing and changing from his computer. I met the boy standing next to me Dan ( I think) and we made jokes thinking that the music sounded like we were listening for a UFO or something. We thought we were pretty funny. (Don’t worry I have pictures of the performance). After the show we killed time by checking our email and doing a little reading. We then went to the documentary showing of Finding Faces. It was about acid attacks and one woman’s personal story. The director and producer of the documentary was on board and answered questions after the showing. I am really liking how there are so many things to do on the boat and everyone goes to almost all of them, so if you go by yourself there are always plenty of people to talk to or sit with. Oh and I forgot the girl across the hall Brittany is setting up a pliometrics class I think it is called and even though I cant go to it cause I have class. We watched the video together the other night and it looks intense she said I could borrow it whenever or I want or we could do it in her room. Haha that would be a site to see. But I am really enjoying having her across the hall she is super down to earth and a great person to talk to. We will sit out in the hall sometimes and chat because that’s where we get the best internet if we don’t want to walk upstairs. So tonight has been a long night it is midnight because we had to move our clocks ahead yet again. I still have some reading to do for my Service Learning Class, I put it off cause the documentary and music show seemed like something I shouldn’t miss. After reading the first assignment I stopped to write this blog. And now I’m back to the reading. Also tomorrow I plan on getting in contact with the Media Guy after I get his name and room number for Kelly so don’t worry I am on top of my stuff : )
