I’m finally done with all the work I had to do before Morocco! This week was crazy. Today we are bunkering in Gibraltar to refuel and we will be in Casablanca tomorrow!
Yeah so I’m not sure why I’m getting spam comments on my blog, so I changed the settings a little bit and I think you have to enter in a word now before you can post a comment. If it doesn’t work, email me and let me know so I can change it back.
I got 100% on my global studies midterm!!! Today we turned in our 6-page paper for GS, I’m sure the teachers will enjoy grading 736 papers! I’ve done so much work these past 4 days for my poetry class and global studies that I’m really far behind on anthropology reading. The weird thing is that these classes are a breeze compared to my classes at Pitt, but I feel like I have so much more work to do because I’m not used to writing papers for each class and having 40-50 pages to read for each class. I’m used to chemistry labs and studying biology!! And of course no one feels like doing work when we are experiencing all of these countries. =) I have 2 papers due right after Morocco, so we’ll see how that goes….
Last night was the crew talent show, and it was amazing. I was really sad that our steward, Jess, didn’t perform, but he seems really shy. A lot of the crew did solos, and they were all really good singers! The entire galley (kitchen) crew did a dance and they had custom-made jerseys that said “All-Star Galley.” The last “act” was the entire housekeeping crew (including Jess!!!) singing “We Are the World.” The crew comes from so many different countries around the world, many actually come from some of the countries we visited on the trip! It was great to see a different side of the crew, usually we just see them in their uniforms and briefly chat with them throughout the day, but we never know that they are amazing singers or dancers or guitar-players. I definitely enjoyed this talent show more than the student one!
Tonight we turn our clocks back an hour so we get an extra hour of sleep!! Woohoo!!! I can’t believe we only have one more port before we go home. The trip across the Atlantic seemed to take forever, but it feels like just yesterday we were in Italy and Croatia. I’m definitely going to miss the ship but I’m kind of ready to go home to see my family and my puppy!!!
