So currently it is 12:54 pm in "I'm on a boat" time.. making my time difference from home about 4 hours I believe. Sadly, we are losing yet another hour of sleep tonight, so the difference should be 5 hours. I THINK.. could be 6, I can't keep up. Anyway, yesterday we didn't have classes because it was SEA OLYMPICS! The day started off really fun with syncronized swimming... which was hilarious (ill post videos when I get to Ghana hopefully) and the weather was perfect. Later in the day I participated in the Spoon Relay and the 3 legged race, both of which I did awesome in, as expected. Unfortunetly though, the Green Mediterranean Sea went down in flames... and I'm pretty sure we placed last, even behind the Life-Long Learners (people age 50+)... I like to think this is due to the issue of us only having like 5 guys on our team while everyother sea had about 40. It was fun regardless, and I'm glad we got a day to relax and enjoy ourselves. This morning I woke up realllll early 7:30am to study for my first exam of SAS... World Religions, which I believe I did pretty well on. I have another one in about 30 mins so wish me luck.
Another update: I was an idiot and didn't read the Student Code of Conduct and our room got randomly searched and they found my pepper spray (which i thought was a brilliant thing to have while in port)... anyway, I have a meeting with the dean tom, so I'm hoping not to get any dock time because I have a field trip early in the morning on our first day in Ghana. so wish me luck I guess.
Again: thanks for all the emails
