Well, it is officially Day 63 and I have already completed two of my three classes onboard! I just got out of my Global Studies exam and it went pretty well. One of the questions asked if I wanted the extra credit points (answer A said "yes") and where would you most likely find a tajine (since I ate 3 of them in Morocco and hadn't heard of them until I got to Morocco, I wonder what that answer must be). I hope it went well. Considering I could make a 50 and still get a high enough grade for it to transfer, I am not too worried about it.
I still have a paper to write for my International Economics class, which is due tomorrow, over various parts of the economies we noticed in each of the countries we visited on the voyage. I shouldn't be very hard, but it must be about 6-7 pages long. It always takes me forever to write papers!
The seas are a bit rockier today due to some tropical weather, so I had to take my first anti-seasick pill today since we left Morocco. It has been so smooth that you don't even realize we are on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic! It is so weird though not seeing any form of human or animal life in days! We have not seen a ship, island, bird, fish, anything. (I did see a bunch of dolphins a few days ago, but just for a few minutes.) That will be totally different when we get home...
I also get to have cheeseburgers with my extended shipboard family on the pool deck tonight! I can't wait to have a little something different, as I have had pasta for lunch and dinner everyday since we left Morocco! I can't believe that this will be our last family meal together too. Time flies on this ship!!!! Then after that we have our pre-disembarkation meeting in the Union. They will tell us all about how to get through customs quickly and efficiently, as well as the process for getting off the ship (where we take our bags, what we are allowed to carry off, etc.)
I still haven't wrote the blogs for Morocco! I have been very busy with all of my school work and instead of writing blogs, I am getting everyone else's pictures from our voyage. Instead of all of taking the exact same picture on 50 cameras, we just take it on one and then share them. That process is taking a little bit longer than expected...
Thanks for being such great readers over the past two months!!! More will be showing up soon...

ReplyDeleteSounds like you are a short timer on the ship. The best is yet to come when you can sleep in your own bed at least one night. I am sure there will be many tears as you bid farewell to so many friends and memories. Hope you have all their addresses.
