I think that the seasickness has mostly subsided. The majority of the queasiness was finished yesterday morning after a dose of Dramamine. Getting used to being on the boat is a bit of a struggle between gaining sea legs and meeting new people. I never thought that it would be so daunting. There are so many people from California on the boat. It feels like Californians make up at least 1/3 of the ship’s population.
Last night we deviated from our original chartered course by 75 miles to avoid a tropical storm. I believe that we were going 26 knots. The boat was rocking and rolling everywhere. You all should have seen people walking up the stairs. It was hysterical we all looked like we had too much to drink.
The first day of class was today. They are split up between A days and B days. Since today was an A day I only had one class scheduled. The bulk of my classes are on my B days starting at 8:00 am and finishing around 2:15. I’m only taking 12 units this semester so it’s a nice break from the 18-19 that I usually take.
I’ve been meeting really great people. Every meal that I’ve had since I’ve been onboard has been with a different group. I can’t say that all of their names are sticking quite yet but for the most part I’m on top of it.
We have free e-mail access on the ship so if you can e-mail me at rlmccarroll@semesteratsea.net
Not feeling home sick yet, but I’m defiantly tired. And yes Mom I’m staying out of the sun.
