Today was the second day of class!! I cannot believe that I have been waking up since my first class is at 8:30, and that's the earliest I have ever had a class! ALSO, today was my first Friday Classes EVER! But, that is going to change since I have Friday Classes next quarter at OSU :( Ohh well!
So, we are half way to SPAIN.. and set to arrive Wednesday morning!! I am sooo excited for Spain because I will be spending two days in Cadiz and also spending two days in Lisbon (Portugual)! We are only allowed to cross borders into another country in Spain, to Portugal, and in Bulgaria, to 2 countries that I forget. So, me, my roommate, and a few others are going to take a bus/train into Portugal from Spain, which is only about 3 hours away! I am really excited to see even another country!
The waves today were BAD! I am pretty sure we passed through a storm because it was raining for the most part of the day, and the waves were really bad and rocking the ship like crazy! I thought it was fun! Yesterday, though, the sun came out and it was about 65 or so degrees, so I sat outside on the deck after lunch until about 4 and then after dinner until sunset. Honestly, I love just sitting outside with the ocean all around me while I have to do my homework and readings, wayyy better than inside like I had to do today! Unfortunately, though, when I went to take a shower last night, I realized that I had a sweeet farmer's tan on my chest from where my shirt was, so that was cool? I didn't realize I was going to get tan since it really wasn't that hot out! Oh well.. plenty more tan lines to come!!
I randomly popped in the campus store today, since it just opened yesterday and was really crowded then.. I wanted this sweatshirt I didn't see in the store yesterday, but was in the window.. and what do you know.. they had ONE when I went in, so of course I got it! I have been told if you want to buy any SAS gear, to do it at the beginning of the voyage because they don't restock, so when they sell out, it's gone :-( So I did it now! Oh.. and this little people's sweatshirt was on sale and it says Semester at Sea, so I had to get it for Zander, I couldn't resist!
Well, another clock change tonight is happening.. which means every day I've been here has basically been 23 hour days!! Atleast we will be gaining 7 hours on the way back to the states! The whole ship rocking all the time and the time changing things are really wearing everyone out, including me! I always hear people talking about how sleepy they feel all the time, especially when the rocking of the ship is minimal, because it's calming. So, I am going to try to finish my book for tomorrow and head to bed somewhat early! Still gotta get up for 8am class tomorrow, on SATURDAY... and SUNDAY! Who would have thought of class on the weekends!?
