I’m doing a quick update about what’s going on around the ship while I get up to date on my Morocco posts. (I still have to post about the camel trek adventure). Right now we are on our way to Ghana and only about 15 miles away from land (which I’ve been told but I’m not sure if it’s true) but we can’t see land at all – but there are a lot more ships then there were when we were on our way to Spain!
Today in class we stopped because there were dolphins outside. A while ago at dinner I saw a whale too! So cool :) It’s pretty hot now and when people aren’t in class they are usually by the pool. Today was the first time I really laid out – but instead of going to the busy loud pool Ross and I went to the front of the ship which was nice because there wasn’t a ton of people. I did some studying while I was up there and attempted a tan. ;)
Something I’m doing on the ship which is really fun is called the extended family program. It’s where you have a “mom” or “dad” and “brothers” & “sisters”. You sign up for it and the families are put together randomly. I love my family they are so nice. My “moms” name is Kathy and she’s so so sweet! And I have a “brother” names Kevin and a “sister” named Carolyn. We had dinner the other day for the first time and have another one planned for this Sunday before Ghana. I’m not sure what else we’ll be doing but sometimes families will have game night, do things in port, or just hangout. I ran into my “mom” last night and had a little chat with her and my friend which was nice.
Other than that I’m just working on classes and hanging with friends. There is a lot of work because there is such little time in the classes so it can be a lot. But there is a lot of free time to work on it .. as long as I can force myself to do it. ;) Keep the emails coming! I love hearing from you :) HLCOOEPR@semesteratsea.net
