Last night we had our involvement fair which basically is how everyone is signing up to get involved on the ship. I didn’t want to overstretch myself so I only signed up to help plan events on the ship like talent shows and what not and then also signed up to start a dance club on the boat. If I do both of those and the sea council as well as getting on my seas, sea olympics committee I should be pretty booked! I went to bed fairly early last night and was up at 7:30 to go to breakfast with the roomie. I don’t have class today so everyone was really surprised that I was up but breakfast is my fav meal and I have also heard that it’s the best meal we get each day, which after having it, I can agree with. Food on the ship can be a bit sketchy. For breakfast we usually have fruit salad, potatoes, eggs, and an assortment of pastries as well as cereal and toast which is absolutely perfect for me. But for lunch and dinner it varies there is usually a salad bar with really weird dressing and a strange pasta salad or lentils, a fish, and chicken options, a pasta, some form of potatoes, and a few vegetarian options which always include copious amounts of celery which I found out the hard way about…. There is always the option of having a peanut butter and jelly or soup as well. I have already lost weight and have a feeling this is going to be a continuing trend because the only things I will eat are salads, chicken, fish, and veg options (celery picked out). Today I am going to use the gym with a girl I’ve met named Becca. We went to sign up after breakfast and already almost all the spots for ellipticals were full! Luckily we squeezed ourselves in at 11:00 and then we are going to go outside on the deck to use all the weight machines. Becca is super hilarious and really bubbly and knows a ton of people! Im glad I got to know her because she goes to school with a bunch of people on the voyage. The campus store also opened today which I am really happy about because I forgot to bring a water bottle and I really need a lanyard so that I don’t lose my key or card! Today is going to be a pretty chill day for me and then tomorrow I start classes bright and early! I have four classes tomorrow! Natural Resources and Social Conflict, Global Studies, Women in National Development, and Global Capitalism and the Economy. Im really excited for all of them except global studies because I hear that class is somewhat of a joke, everyone on the ship is required to take it. Well I might go back to sleep for a little bit but I will write again as soon as something interesting happens!
