Day 49...On the Sea Again!

Day 49/C14, August 2nd:

Well, we are back to classes once again!  The ship was still recovering from yesterday as every one lost their voice from cheering and was still scrubbing off the last pieces of paint from their bodies.  Other than the fact that we all were tired from yesterday’s activities, today was just another day at sea.  Classes were just as exciting as always.  I have a global studies test coming up in two days, an international economics test in two days, and a paper for global studies due in four days.  It will be a very busy week!  I am not really worried too much about the tests, but I do need to start my paper soon. 

We also have a lot to look forward to in the next few days!  The faculty/staff talent show is tomorrow night and the crew talent show is two days after that.  It should be interesting! 
The ship is back to rocking, so everyone is starting to get their sea legs back.  I have not taken any seasick meds until right before my Econ class today just to be safe.  We really were rocking up a storm!  Everything has been going well though on my side of the world.  Danielle is not doing too hot with the rockiness, but she is fine when she pops the pills.  Just another aspect of life at sea!  It is nice when you want to go to sleep; however, it is not nice when you are trying to write your blog and the ship keeps rocking you to sleep.  Goodnight!!!
