First full day at sea, and a little seasickness to go with it. Luckily they hand out free medication for it. And I slept like a rock last night, the first time in a week—it was fabulous. Otherwise, my roommate seems very nice and I don’t think we’ll have any problems getting along. Today is Orientation Day, so most of the day is spent listening to lectures and speeches. You know, the basics—academic honesty, meet the faculty and staff, field briefing info, etc. We have a few breaks for eating, so I decided to take a little time to lie out on deck and inform anyone attempting to live vicariously through me with what they’d be doing. It’s sunny with a few clouds and a nice breeze. The sea is a gorgeous deep blue and I’m surrounded by people laying out and getting some sun.
I only get 250 minutes of free internet access, so I don’t intend to be online too often—which includes skype too. Just long enough to check major emails and update the blog. Feel free to comment, ask me questions etc and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can. We arrive in Puerto Rico on Saturday, so I only have one full day of classes tomorrow before heading into port. I’ll probably put in another entry when I’m in/leaving Puerto Rico. That’s all from here for now, but I miss you all! It’s happy sailing here!
