just another day in paradise

Everything is in a definite routine by now.  Class, class, class, lunch, homework, nap, dinner, homework, blog/email, sleep
Food is getting really old really fast.. I can’t eat a noodle meal twice a day everyday.. and the meat always looks like mystery meat even though they have labels for everything.  I’m getting large doses of carbs on this trip.. All I ate for lunch today was potatoes and rolls. And dinner was potatoes and rolls and rice.

Thank goodness we only have two more class days and then we are in SPAIN! I need other food options fast! I’ve finished one box of cheese-its and a couple nutra grain bars and a chewy bar.. not too bad.  Still have lots more snacks left! =)  I realized the other day I forgot to bring my box of goldfish though! Oh well.

I forgot to mention yesterday after global studies when I have like a ten minute break before going to global music I came back to the room and shane was in here cleaning and guess what he had with him!!!! MY SLIPPERS!!!! =) =) he’s awesome!  He also commented about how weird they are since they aren’t really slippers, but not really socks either. Then he mentioned how some girl has a snuggie and he thought that it was really strange to have a blanket with arms too.

After lunch I went outside to work on homework again I tried out the 7th floor pool deck this time.. it was colder out today, really windy so not as nice as yesterday, I lasted about an hour there though.  Then as I was going to head inside I saw two little boys playing in the pool.  One is Parker, the voices son, the other I hadn’t seen before.  Which means I found my Little Brother, Cash!  His mom said he’s been crabby these past couple days because the times changes are really messing with his schedule but that’s alright he was still pretty cute. So I sat by the pool side with them for about another half hour before heading inside and taking an hour nap right before dinner.

This morning when I woke up the water was like glass. No waves no movement, nothing. It didn’t even seem to be moving from the ship either, it was really weird.  That was short lived though because is been rough all afternoon and it still is.  Everyone has lost their sea legs today.. we look like we are drunk walking down the halls again no one can keep their balance.  We were standing reading a bulletin board and Kristi was right behind me she literally caught me from falling backwards.. just from standing there.. I almost ran into the corner of a wall today too when trying to turn a corner!

We are getting super close to the Mediterranean though! Kristi over heard someone say we are supposed to go through the Straight of Gibraltar tomorrow! For all of you who don’t know where that is because of a lovely map quiz it’s the passage way that enters into the Mediterranean Sea the little bit of water between Spain and Morocco.  So this is really exciting!

It’s not even nine yet but I am so tired. I’ll be asleep in the next hour hopefully! Which is weird since the sun is going to have set by then…

hmm unfortunately i just locked myself out of the room and without shoes had to travel to the piano lounge to find kristi.. bemmer
