Random thoughts

Running on a treadmill while the ship is rocking back and forth is near impossible. Someone should record me.

It’s a little scary that the captain only actually steers the ship when we dock.  I toured the bridge (where the control room is) today and he told us that the ship is always on auto-pilot.  But I got to sit in the captain’s chair with a captain’s hat!

I’m having the hardest time getting work done now that I’ve ever had.  There is always something going on here and I can’t bring myself to sit down and do work.  I woke up early today to write a 4 page paper in like an hour before class because I thought it was a good idea to watch a movie last night.

Gossip on the ship is 52937491x worse than high school ever was.  Literally everyone on the ship will have heard about something that happened within 2 days of it actually happening. There is this person called the “Rumor Ranger” who is an anonymous source that we can ask questions to figure out the legitimacy of something. The only thing is, I’m 99.9999% sure that it’s a dean or at least faculty member because all of the answers are straight out of the voyager’s handbook and usually don’t even answer the question.  For example: Someone emailed Rumor Ranger and asked if it was true that you would be expelled if SAS found out that you skydived, bungee jumped, or shark cage dived, and they responded that these activities were considered dangerous and we were not advised to do them.

I’m going to get really into making videos.  One of my friends on the ship has this sick camera and he records EVERYTHING. He makes really sweet movies about each country, and I decided that I need to do this too.  (I may or may not have stolen all of his videos to use too). One of my roommates is pretty good at making videos too, so she’s going to show me how to use iMovie.

Oh, and I'LL BE IN SOUTH AFRICA TOMORROW!!!
