Day 2

16:00

Today was quite interesting. We had orientation, which started at 9:00 am. Who would have guessed breakfast only lasted until 8:30? Needless to say, I missed breakfast. Then we had a series of sessions ranging from ship safety to counseling availability to the honor code. I am really excited to start classes tomorrow! I am just ready to have a routine and have a solid place to meet people. Unfortunately, while on the ship, we have class every day, including weekends and holidays (not that there are many holidays in the summer time). But I guess its fine since we will have such long port stays.
The ship is so rocky today. We have hit a big storm so I haven’t been able to start my tan ☹. But its all good, I will have plenty of time this summer to lay out. Tonight we will lose an hour of sleep as we move into the next time zone. And the same is true for the next four nights… talk about your jet lag!
22:00
I am having to work off of the computer lab computers because my internet in my room doesn’t seem to be working. We had an extracurricular fair tonight where I signed up to be on the staff of the equivalent to yearbook book. I also signed up for “the extended family” program. It sets up a little family to hang out with on the ship including professors, students, and the life-long learners. In addition to these I signed up for a bible study and morning meditation which I am very excited about. At the fair I met a girl named Laura from Greenville, SC! She went to Greenville High and now goes to Clemson! I'll update again soon!
