Day 3

So, just to give anyone who might be reading this a quick update, the 2 days in the Bahamas were amazing. The weather was really nice – it was a little chilly when the wind blew but for the most part it was not too hot not too cold. The first day we used Nicky’s parents all inclusive hotel for lunch and dinner and drinks and we also rode the water slides and stuff like that at Atlantis. The second day we swam with dolphins which was a lot of fun and a lot different than when I did it a few years ago. That was good because I didn’t feel like I was doing the same thing twice. The first day we got on the ship it took a little over an hour to get on and then we went through a ton of bag checks and filled out forms and went to our rooms. My roommate is from Texas and she seems nice. That night we sat through tons of speeches and had a floor meeting and it felt like being a freshman again. Yesterday was a longgggg day of bullshit about rules and other random things about the trip so I was really glad when that was over. They let us watch the inauguration, which was cool. Today was the first day of classes. I had three back to back from 8-12 so I’ve been done for a few hours. The food here is going to get really old really fast and so is waking up so early. I can’t wait until we start docking in countries because then we’ll only have 2 or 3 days of classes a week. The people here are cool so far but it’s harder than I expected to meet people. You aren’t allowed to prop the doors to your room open so you never really know where anyone is or what anyone is doing. A lot of people here make me feel kind of unaccomplished with all of the stuff they have done. I talked to one girl today that has spent two summers working at a school in Honduras and another girl that has an internship set up for summer 2010 in South Africa. Crazyness. Well, that’s really all there is to say, nothing too exciting has happened yet. I can’t wait till next week when we’ll be in Spain!
