2nd day on the ship!!!

Cabin # --> 3064 (in case you want to send something :) )

Hey guys hope everything is good at home. I got here yesterday and we checked in, ate lunch, then walked around and hung out around the pool for a little while (which by the way is really small) The pictures that everyone saw online made the bathroom and the pool look bigger. But the cabin isn't all that small. I'm ALMOST done unpacking, I just have all the small things to unpack. I put up some of the pictures and my world map and calendar and things. Then we had a meeting an introduction to all the faculty and I'm not gonna lie, I fell asleep 3 times.

Today we had another meeting that was very easy to fall asleep to. I am in my room cause I'm so tired but probably about to go find my friends and eat lunch. Then we have our first global studies class at 1:45.

So everyone is stumbling around the boat. I felt really drunk last night. I have my patch on for seasickness but I think it's making me really tired. Tomorrow is our first day of classes (A day) then we're in Puerto Rico and when we come back we have our first B day class. I still have to decide if I actually want to take the african drum class or if I should drop it. We'll just have to see

The food is pretty good. Lunch yesterday wasn't so good but I think that's cause we got there at the end and the pasta was a little dried out. But breakfast was pretty good. And last nights dinner.

We have quite a few meetings today. I'm not ready for Puerto Rico haha. I have a feeling I'm going to be tired this whole trip. I already have a list of stuff I need to get from PR...I even forgot excedrin!!!!! Then I have to get flip flops, a pillow, a STRAINER for my tea!!! I tried to use a paper towel...that did NOT work.

I'm actually pretty surpised how everyone already has groups of people. I have like 14 people I went out with the night in the bahamas and I keep hanging out with them and not really meeting too many new people

Oh we had our first life boat drill, let me tell you, it was fun. :-P

So other than falling around and stumbling and running into things and a small headache I'm not too sick. Which is surprising cause we are going SO slow. Yesterday we were going 18 knots and today we're going 10...I looked on my map with the coordinates and we are SO close to PR...they have to go slow so that we will get everything done that we need to get done. I've already been hanging out with some of the people I have class with. One girl has 2 of my classes with me.

WOW...they don't have Dr. Pepper and I haven't had DP since I left home cause they didn't have it in the Bahamas either. I've drank no soda except for yesterday I had a diet coke. I'm gonna miss my Dr. Pepper. :-P

Well I guess that's it for now. BUT I will be able to make free calls in Puerto Rico so I will get to talk you all soon. I'm going to try to space out my internet minutes I guess. Get on like every other day. So I probly won't get on till we get back from PR b/c I can call you!!! Yay. hehe.

Ok, gonna go eat lunch and take care of something at the pursars office. I have to turn in a credit card for my shipboard account. But so far everythings real fun. It's like I'm living in a dorm. But not the one at UTA...cause I hardly met anyone there. haha. But by the end of this trip I feel like I will know so many people. I mean I met like 20 in the first night I was in the Bahamas.

LOVE YOU GUYS, miss you, and miss talking to you. XOXO

Haha, "the voice" is funny, the guy that comes over the intercom...he keeps pausing and we just have to wait to see what he's gonna say next. He said we've traveled 331 nautical knots I think and we still have 400 something to go. HAHA he pauses so much, annnyway I'll stop rambling on now. :-*
