Days 2 & 3

Days 2 & 3

Monday Jan. 18

Today was a longgg day. We had a full day of orientation- think college welcome week crammed into a single day. It was boring because they were just reiterating the safety information that they’ve been emailing us for the past six months. The first meeting was at 9am. Heather and I thought we were on top of things, but we ended up missing breakfast. Oops… I even woke up at 7:45am to shower. (The water temperature/pressure is great so far. I hope it keeps up!)

I regret not packing the sweet new Blackhawks travel coffee mug my brothers bought me for Christmas. Coffee is available all day, but we’re not allowed to take the mugs out of the dining room; we have to use our own if we want to snag a drink between meals. Again, oops.

Tonight I also lay out of the deck and watched the stars. The sky isn’t filled like I had imagined, but I’m sure we’ll be able to see more and more as we go.


Tuesday Jan. 19

First day of classes! Mine are interesting so far. Both professors are very passionate about their subjects, which always makes it easier to learn.

I’ve been told that our ship is currently passing through the Tropic of Cancer or somewhere close by, so if anyone is wondering, that’s roughly where we are.

Tonight is the first night we can use our drink vouchers! It’s also a pub night, which means we can buy 4 instead of the regular 3 drinks. I’m in the mood for a glass of wine, so it’ll be nice to sit up on deck and watch the sunset. J
